Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 01, 2025

The image of red-state governors mustering uniformed troops for duty in blue-state cities has left many Americans with the foreboding sense of a nation dangerously divided, perhaps even drifting toward open conflict. Mr. Trump denied statistical reality last week when he was asked whether he might send federal forces into high-crime cities in Republican-led states." Said Trump: "Sure, but there aren't that many." "There are that many: Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield, Mo.; Birmingham, Ala.; Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.; Memphis and Nashville; Houston; Little Rock, Ark.; Salt Lake City; and Shreveport La., all have crime rates comparable to Washington's, according to F.B.I. statistics."

The KCMO PD isnt controlled locally. It's run by commissioners appointed by the GOP Governor in Jeff City. The GOP complains about crime and the police department they run can't even control it. Repubs have a 'guns for all' mentality, have passed laws to prevent local police from working with the feds, and wonder why things are bad.
