Why Newsom’s cops aren’t the same as Trump’s troops
Completely they are insecure American streets?
With Tell President TrumpThe killers are already hidden in every shadow that is not filled by rapists and thieves.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is almost so terrible, The crime numbers fell.
But “numbers mean very little for people” Newsom lamented During a press Gaggle on Thursday, Trump brutally trolled Trump with a flag that appeared to mockery at the beginning of the week and brutally with the entire installation.
Yes people, Midterm elections are coming And the crime is high – if not in reality in our consciousness. Despite In most California, severe crime and some property crimes have decreased (And in many big cities around the country), the dangers of city life stubbornly stuck in our collective souls.
This anger increased in another age of criminal pressure that resulted in the fulfillment of the authoritarian fantasy of the national guard troops patrolling Trump’s Los Angeles, Washington and DC.
Newsoma now offers things that many of them have been framing as opposite to Trump’s military intervention: in strategic places across the state, the fluctuation of California highway patrol officers in Newsom -controlled police bots to reflect Trump’s troops.
However, looking at Newsom to deploy more CHP civil servants as more than a reaction to Trump is missing a bigger debate about what makes our communities really safer. Understanding the things that make the police different from the soldiers – and the movement of Newsom is different from Trump – ultimately understands the difference between pressure and public security, power and subtlety.
Using Newsom CHP to support local police departments for years. In 2023, when San Francisco drowned with the use of open drugs, when he made him a favorite right -wing example of a unsuccessful democratic city, Newsom sent it to help cleanse this state power (although this work continues). The following year, He sent it to Oakland And Bakersfield is the place where both auto theft, retail crime and side shows are widespread.
Now, the CHP is expanding its role in local policing, including some Central Valley cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Internal Empire and Fresno and Sacramento.
In each of these places, mobile teams, which consist of about a dozen officers who will all volunteer for work, will target certain crimes, criminals or problematic areas. These civil servants will not only patrol or respond to calls like local power, but also make their presence in high crime neighborhoods or high criminal neighborhoods defined by data or intelligence.
It is true that Trump’s military approach is overlapping by Newsom and two men can accept: a visible armed authority shows the crime. Whether the national guard or highway patrol, both small and severe criminals tend to avoid them.
“We are entering and feeding a high visibility and vision patrol and feed,” he said. “People with a problem with this are a crime community.”
The approach seems to be working. I can throw the numbers to you – 400 firearms seized in San Bernardino, Bakersfield, Oakland; In Oakland, 4,000 stolen vehicles recovered; More than 9,000 arrests throughout the state.
But the numbers are not really important. How he really feels about the security of a community. In California, many of them are not Small and medium -sized law enforcement officers are insufficient. Even large departments like Los Angeles are struggling to hire and hold officers. There are not resources such as police – or helicopters or K9 teams, and citizens feel it.
Using these small strike teams fills both manpower and the gap of expertise. And by aiming to use the usage at full problematic points, it can make inadequate communities feel safer and guilty communities are actually safer.
Tinisch Hollins is the president of California for security and justice, an advocacy group that works to end the excessive arrest and encourage public security only beyond arrests. “Frankly, it is not a great advocate of sending law enforcement officers to such communities,” he said.
But he lived in San Francisco The murders exceeded 100 a year, And now the local police live in Vallejo, the city of the Gulf region, where it is very insufficient. He struggled with the scandal that local leaders declared a state of emergency.
He saw how the CHP “influence” in the Gulf Region.
“Very effective things are happening, Hol Hollins said.
This acquisition from the society, especially the skeptical community, implies a great separation from Trump’s militarization and also implies the deeper difference between troops and police.
California has the end of law enforcement reform for years, but this is a Speech in favor of the headlines and Trump period.
After George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, California banned controversial carotid restrictions that could stop breathing. The state put forward a method for the decision of the officers, and was found guilty of serious abuse. He increased the age and education standards to become a peace officer, increased transparency requirements, and made more supervision of military equipment by civilian forces to give only a few reforms.
Most importantly, Newsom supports a new vision of imprisonment and rehabilitation that has been modeled after successful efforts in Norway and in other simple reality that focuses on the crime of arrest.
Most convicted and imprisoned people will return to our streets a few years later, and if the state doesn’t change their appearance and opportunities, they will probably return to the crime – it will make us safer for the first time than the day they were placed in mushrooms.
But for a while, some seemed to have been focusing on their alternatives to being imprisoned. Images of plundering groups Retail Thieves Invasive stores filled the news and reasonable caused anxiety-California are still not funded, led to the forced passing in the crime. Suggestion 36, trying to create harder penalties for some drugs and property crimes With compulsory treatment for addiction, it can only receive money from rehabilitation programs.
As much as Trump, the use of the CHP to the CHP is the response to this return in reform, which continues to be an important part of the dilemma that stops the crime.
However, Hollins points out that the rehabilitation aspect, which is the most innovative and undisputed aspect of California’s crime approach, is lost in the current political climate.
“Not just arrest people who have dropped the crime,” he said. ” [penal] The system will not be interested in the driving forces of the crime. ”
This place needs to do better both on the ground and in its descriptions. Talking about rehabilitation may not be popular and Trump will certainly take over it weakly, but it is what works, and the California method is what makes the method different from Maga’s crime appearance.
For Trump, everything and end, arrest and subsequent cruel punishment. He called hard and longer penalties for small crimes, and recently demanded the use of the blanket of the death penalty in all murder cases accused in Washington.
“We grasped the idea that military service can be there in every street corner of the United States,” he said in a statement on Thursday. ”
Or it should be.
The soldiers on our streets are less free to even citizens who meet laws, and ultimately do very little to solve the poverty and opportunity problems that often start criminal cycles.
This is an easy harmony caused by a weapon’s barrel or a complex and flawed community and law enforcement system, with the view of the reckoning on the American streets and ultimately democratic crime prevention, a gun’s barrel or a complex and defective community and law enforcement system.
