Jun. 21st, 2006 12:28 amThat the National Guard has entered New Orleans "to reinforce a depleted police department and battle a surge in violence" disturbs me.
Not that I don't want stability for New Orleans.
But the Guard went in not because of a disaster or sudden crisis. They did so just "to reinforce a depleted police department." This after six people were killed in a weekend.
What's to stop my governor from sending in the Guard to beef up the police in Detroit?
