We have said consistently that the Guard should not be here. It is unsafe for both members of the Guard and communities.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

a few times a year I rent a car and the drive 1.5 miles back to my house from Union Station convinces me anew that these things just shouldn't be in cities to the scale that they are

I didn't think I would be as profoundly affected as I have been by seeing armed soldiers on patrol in a civilian setting, after a few months of this, I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate it, even if its direct negative impacts to me personally have been minimal
