During the news conference on Tuesday, Johnson was asked for Trump’s proposal that he could send his national guards to Chicago. Trump’s model of anti -criminal pressures was successfully launched by Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who initially expressed concern.
He continued: “Is there any reason for the President to deploy national guard troops or other armed military personnel to Chicago to focus on crime or violence?” The reporter asked.
Johnson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. replied by explaining a quote and said, “You know, Dr. King militarism referred to as a disease.

Later, at the same news conference, Johnson stated that there were 970 murders in Chicago in 1974, 828 murders in 1995, 778 murders in 2016 and more recently in 2021. He said that even a murder was too much, but he was uncomfortable with the idea that more law enforcement force was suggested.
“I am very sick of people in this country and in this city, and I am tired of it, I believe that the only thing you can offer to black people and poor people is prison, imprisonment and police officers.” He said. “Dr. King said this here at the National New Policy Conference in Chicago. What did he say? ‘Militarism is a disease.’
He claimed that no one in Chicago wants to use troops to reduce the crime, and that he used other methods to do so, and that law enforcement officers were actually harmful to society.

“If these democrats focused on correcting the crime in their own cities instead of making promotional stores to criticize the president, Fox Digital would be much safer.
“Breaking the crime should not be a partisan issue, but the democrats suffering from TDS are trying to do this. They should listen to the democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser, who celebrates the success of Trump administration’s success to reduce violence crimes in DC”
