The National Guard is only at 2 stations. The police are only huddled in certain stations chatting and on their phones. It’s all optics and there is no way I would give away my civil liberties for the dog and pony show. Maybe we should implement policies that punish criminals.

[@bellaluna1535]

Hey, I agree. Years ago they had those guards there in NYC for about three weeks, then all of a sudden you didn't hear about them anymore. People should take a look at the actual MTA subway map to see how massive the system is. Not possible to keep guards at ALL stations, and the guards are only position at the tourist areas, like Times Square. And there is usually one or two guards standing there, with their back turned, on their cellphone.

Real criminals do not possess weapons in their carry-ons and back pack- they are all hidden close to their body, which police can not search without probable cause. Heck, searching random people's belonging is a violation of 4th amendment in first place. Just look at MTA PD selects who they search the bags- old 60yr old ladies or clueless tourists which will obviously obey the rules. Try to perform the bag checks where real criminals hang out. You will quickly learn how many people will curse you out/scream racism and would try to fight you for stopping. And even if you are denied entry due to refusing the bag check, you can simply just go to the other end of station and jump the turnstile. It's a complete joke. It is just sad to watch what this city has become and will continue to rot with this laughable liberal policies.

@@BladeFitAcademy It is a temporary solution to a long term issue, but it works, because, as was stated in the video, illegal firearm confiscation increased by 96% since 2019 and it's actually preventing people from getting robbed and/or killed. I do agree that they need to work more on solving the root problems, but the reality is this temporary measure is not hurting anyone other than criminals. I don't think it'll become the norm, but the possibility of the state going to war against crime will definitely be ingrained in criminals' minds as a result of this, so it plays a big psychological role as well.

I grew up and lived in NYC for 50 years. During the Koch years, crime was high. However, he had a simple method to address crime in the subways. He had at least one transit police officer on every train. Then, from 10PM until 6AM, only 2 cars were open, and an officer was on board. Yes, if you rode the subway at night, it was crowded (as bad as rush-hour) with only 2 cars open, but everyone felt secure, and I never had an issue riding the trains during that time.
