- New York has deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to its subway network to tackle a boom in violent crime.
In what is believed to be a first, 750 National Guard soldiers will assist the New York City Police Department in patrolling the subways and conducting bag checks.
New York's Democratic governor Kathy Hochul also announced on Wednesday that 250 state troopers will be sent to help out too.
While commuters have the right to refuse to have their bag checked by the guards, the officers can subsequently deny them access to the subway, Ms Hochul said.

When the army has to protect day to day activities in a public place thats a failed society
Actually when a society loses the ability to spell properly it is truly lost.😂😂😂

Maybe defunding police was a bad idea after all... Who knew?!
NYC never actually defunded the police...
Catch & release.
Criminals are released in a few days.
And the police are hated by liberals in NYC
Wait people still think they defunded the police 😂
No money for healthcare or internal security or police, but billions available for a certain crazy nation in the middle East.
@@jimbo1637Even if they never directly defunded police, many democrats advocated for the idea and that kind of rhetoric emboldened criminals.
Posturing. How about keeping people in jail and not releasing them the same day? Ever heard of that New York?
Yep; the State troopers and National Guard are just there for looks; only the NYPD is searching bags.
It's all theater
ma'am.
It's a power grab by the left.
that isnt the problem, its the border crisis

Welcome to city 17
Escape from new York movie comes to mind.
We need freeman now more than ever.
why do nerds think everything is a movie this isnt any more dystopian then having a bunch a fake crips robbing old chinese people in the subway its actually preferable
It’s time people realize that CRIMINALS DO and WILL NOT FOLLOW LAWS unless forced. CRIMINALS are having to be confronted into facing responsibility as well as understanding that others are FED UP with their BEHAVIOR.
Every criminal is a person whose needs aren’t met. Everyone is guilty of something. My dad was a corrupt sheriff deputy for example. He set people, planted evidence, killing civilians and helped other cops cover up their crimes.
Amen
keep trying to be sanctuary states for criminals, this is what happens
this seems to be more an exercise in "we can make it seem safe" rather than actually doing so on a long-term plan
if criminals dont follow laws might as well get rid off laws according to your logic ?
Eric Adams recently said that crime in NYC was far lower than before. Then why the military presence?
Probably not legitimately 'elected' either....
Security theater.

I’m a former national guard soldier and trust me those soldiers have been told not to get involved in anything because they’re not real cops lol
Yeah these guys are mostly there for looks, maybe patrols where if they see anything sus they notify the cops. Unless someone is in immediate danger

How is it surprising? America is the new Rome when Rome was a declining mess, invaded by barbarians and a failing economy.
This is how bad they've let it get in NY?
New Orleans too
Oh it has been REALLY bad for the last few years. People are getting violently attacked, hit in the head, kicked and randomly punched walking in nice neighborhoods in the middle of the day. The amount of mentally ill and violent people is unbelievable. There have also been wealthy business people doing things like kicking a woman down the long escalator in the subway and one woman shoved an elderly singing teacher because she was in a bad mood. That was is a nice neighborhood and that lady died from her injuries. There is so much insanity from both poor and rich people

Stop pretending like Jim Bob on his 6th beer is the same as a trained soldier.
How is an assault rifle gonna help in the subway?
@@mattypants true they aint the same. "Jim bob" cares about people and peoples rights. Trained soldiers dont.
I remember when democrats were for defunding the police
Thats is how the fall of an empire begins, with soldiers in their own cities protecting people from internal enemies
They are not there to protect anyone
Let's be honest, US troops have never had to protect their country from an external threat. The only thing they have always done is invade other countries as a genocidal colonialist forcr that has only facilitated the criminal theft of natural resources in the name of "democracy".
That's exactly what police officers are...
gonna take that for life
Um .. they're not there to protect *us* -- they are there to implement a standing army/police state.
Don't be surprised when law-abiding citizens are victimized by soldiers. Hope I'm wrong.
And yet we still don't have proper security in our schools.
I recall back then there were plan for a wiling parents to act as an ad hoc security at school. Just expand the PD so they cover school too.
youll still biatch about it cun1
I was trying to push for Veterans to do the security but nobody cares about giving us good paying jobs.
The truth is that people haven't necessarily gotten more criminal over the years but rather a weak justice system that does not imprison criminals and instead releases them on bail.
That and back in the day mentally ill people were locked up. Now everyone screams about their rights, only for some insane person to kick an old lady down an escalator. At least the dude had his civil rights 🤷♂️
So law abiding Citizens lose more rights whilst the criminals continue to get out minutes after being charged__ INSANE.
Don’t release criminals! One individual had been 50 times in prison before he committed a murder . There’s a huge business $$$ behind crimes
So basically New York is under martial law 😂
Nope not yet.... Martial law is when the military is in full control, the courts are suspended and the law is done under military tribunals.
Isn't their like a constitution that has guidelines to this sorta thing?
London needs this
@@explained2434 exactly
Absolutely
Please use the right name " Londonisthan "
Doesn't need to be soldiers, but yes additional police. Police already do random mass stop search and they work. I remember case where young male was caught with zombie/massive knife. He was actually on bail for being involved in prior stabbing to the leg, survived (I think drugs were involved). So the issue is funding, police numbers, (and bail until trial and monitoring after if appropriate). (I don't think that individual was electronic tagged.) Same with other crimes, prior domestic abuse convictions, latest relationship reports violence and threat to their and family's life, he gets bail and kills her, her new partner and rapes, held captive another woman. If theirs enough evidence or prior convictions, the person shouldn't be on bail, those on bail, electronically tagged and CCTV monitored. Police do searches at buses, trains, random locations and schools. They have the mobile technology for it not to be physical.
*Part of issue is also not having enough prisons.
America is the richest country in the world but feels like a third-world country in many ways. Weird
It`s run by third world criminals at the moment.
I live in Guatemala, a third world country. Male cops are not allowed to conduct strip searches in the streets as in the US that I know of.
UЅА is rich only by documents
Because it's 3rd world country. Inequality and all.
The purpose of glabalism isn't to make the third world countries like the first World. The purpose is to make the first World like the third world. The elites that rule the world hate the middle class and want all the money and power for themselves.
Nothing like nyc competent leadership 😊
Societial collapse
Foreign governments have been very keen to prop up woke district attorneys who don't prosecute. The irony is that I've found national guardsmen to be poorly trained in comparison to police. That rings true for both firearm safety and skills to deescalate a situation. Criminals have nothing to worry about as they won't be prosecuted.
It was worse in the 70s.
@@GnosticAtheist and crime rate was worse in the 90s
but people looooove fear mongering
Nope, nothing to do with illegal immigrants.
@@GnosticAtheist Thank goodness. That makes whatever is going on now totally okay
Meanwhile about 3.000 "no papers" entering US borders every day.. 😅
3,000? How about 10,000?
I think 10.000 os too much..
But.. about 5.000 or 6.000 must be the real data.
Only 3 ?!? Sounds pretty low to me
I googled it y’all. In December 2023, they’re reporting about 50K immigrants were detained trying to cross the border while up to 10K made it across. In one day
Wow, what a record.. 🙄
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Its a failed society at this point.

I wonder what group of people have arrived in New York in the recent past, that could cause this surge. Couldn't be all those illegal immigrants who contribute to to society could it?
Nonsense, those are traveling family men and brilliant future entrepreneurs, here to culturally enrich our nation!

Something is about to go down.
We have had this for like 10 year or more in Italy. They call it “safe street operation” but it is mostly to hide the issue of manpower shortages within the police forces, beside, the soldiers deployed do not have police power so they need joint patrols with the actual police force. I also don’t see the point in sending around towns soldiers equipped in full war gear and military grade weapons when they can’t use said weapons for obvious reasons. I personally see this as a huge failure regardless of the country.
Agreed, anytime there's soldiers roaming the streets something is wrong.
Well, if that is what needs to keep the good people safe, then so be it!
Bruh, it looks like a police state.
@@sbeast64 Sure, not saying that i like the look of it, but safety is the 🔑 here. Having people being robbed or even beaten is not supercool.

@@mikebrown41182 Fair enough. I just think there has to be a better way, this seems far too extreme. They are treating everyone like a potential criminal/terrorist.

State troopers and National Guard in the subway but still no cash bail for shoplifters and violent offenders 🤔
It`s like this in Sweden, Uk, France, Germany, Norway, Denmark etc etc. All of Europe will go under if it`s not stopped ASAP and same goes for the US sadly.
Way too much of a difference in culture etc to co exist, that`s evidently facts.

What about crime on the streets?
funny they don't do this at the border
Border has every law enforcement in America at it
And that's the funny part@@azulaquaza4916
Uhhhhhhhhhh they literally do but alright
They do. Also this is National Guard deployed by the state, and New York is pretty damn far from the border with Mexico
@eliyahuohiyon7461 they don't at all
What a dystopia
So what sort of people are committing so much crime that need soldiers to be there? Old ladies?
"asylum-seekers"
Black people
Enemy troops and terrorists
No banana republic is complete without troops on the streets.
Can't stop crimes , can't do proper policing in their own subways but wants to police the whole world 😂😂. What a joke!!
Where did the American dream go?!
Sold out to the funnyhatz
It ended in the 90s
It never existed
About damn time next stop every major city needs the guards on the streets. If your really want to stop the drug trafficking
They were called down due to violence on train platforms? Not for drug trade violence…
The National Guard will do virtually 0 to stop drug trafficking. They are basically very serious looking security guards and not much more, at this point and application.
Yeah, and stop all the racism!
They aren't there over drug trafficking!
Chicago needs to be next.
Mexico has Marines on the beaches and that doesn’t stop the drug traffickers
So basically the nypd, the most geared police force in the US...does nothing. So why is the nypd have offices in foreign countries like singapore again?
Its called safe haven for their hitmen.

Everyday America looks more and more like el Salvador
El Salvador is more peaceful now with Bukele than the USA
Funny thing is that in El salvador crime have decreased significantly since Bukele took charge
El Salvador no longer looks like that because the government there cracks down on criminals hard. I would pay more attention. The states now looks more like a day in the Middle East where anything goes.
El salvador keeps their prisoners in prison
I'd like to see this in the U.K. crime is rife on our streets and the police seem unable to act...
We need them here in Stamford CT too
And? What they can legally do?
Ridiculous Why is it under Mayor Giuliani NYC was safe!!
Stop and Frisk, and mandatory minimum sentencing?
I lived in New York in 06, I never felt safe going outside back then too

“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society…”
So, they’ve no problem with deploying national guard in a city, in an attempt to limit crime but won’t at the border; one of the main sources of crime.
Better yet, why not just abandon the virtue signalling, it’s obviously been a failure of epic proportions.
America has turned into a police state, but then are quick to criticise china 😂😂
Chinese illegals are at our border, not the other way around
Joe Biden praised China for their authoritarian effectiveness
As a New Yorker now living in Florida I’m glad I was only young and spent only a few years in my home state
It’s appalling to see what it has become now many years later when they have to deploy the national guards to maintain order
This is great and should be done in all major cities in the US

The start of a police/military state.
Big bosses Dream will be realized
Beats anarchy state
The police state where criminals are arrest and released on free bail the same day? This is political theatre by the slimy democrats to distract from the fact that the da is a criminal sympathizer who supports and encourages criminal activities.
This is about LOCAL New York residents who have been commiting violen crimes. I am seeing many comments about this being due to the illegal immigrants but it isn't. Yes there has been crime from them as well but the subway violence including shootings, stabbings, pushing people onto the tracks in front of trains, physical assaults etc. have been locals with a history of mental illness and criminal behavior. Many states in the US took away funding for mental health facilities where these people need to be so they live on the streets or in bad areas and when they assault someone they are let out of jail pretty quickly. There are many issues here including the legal system etc
The people of New York should come together to protest this unjust and grossly discriminatory act, the government should trust that people will not carry anything dangerous on the subway, this humiliating inspection should be stopped, long live liberal democracy, long live America, God bless America!!!!Love comes from China
"Pick up that can"
If its the PLA standing in a Chinese subway station with guns like this,
someone will have something to say.
The PLA do stand in airports and hubs to protect and enforce law and order, albeit the Chinese version.
I cannot imagine that the PLA would need to man the subways on Bejing or any other Chinese city simply because the people cannot respect basic laws.
Well airports are a hotspot for terrorist attacks, this?

It’s all for show. The national guard only train for one weekend out of the month and two weeks out of the year which is nothing. It’s worse than the six weeks of training it takes at the police academy. I served active duty and have never seen a national guard unit that was up to standard.
These national guardsmen are on active duty. They’re on an SAD task force called JTF Empire Shield and they train frequently-probably more than regular army active duty. Also, the police academy was 6 months (at least for me)-not 6 weeks.
Idiotic comment from an idiotic person.
It's not nothing. They still have to pass the ACFT, weapons qualification, medical and drug tests. Which means they PT on their own time outside of those weekends to stay in shape. Many "weekend warriors" end up bringing their military duties with them into the week one way or another, but they don't always get paid for it. Not to mention lots of Active Duty people transfer into the Guard or Reserves and bring that experience with them. And those not formerly Active Duty have civilian experience and education they bring to the table. Some Active Duty folks don't even train that much depending on their job. They just sit on security all day every day or attend meetings.

What happened to NY?
I remember during the years of Bloomberg from 2002-2013, NY was apparently at its safest. There were cops on every corner and so on.
Obama and Joe let them into all the border states and Governor Abbott was courteous enough to spread the love so everyone else could see
This is NOT about violence its about population controll.
Yes but orange man bad. It’s trumps fault. Lol.
They are trying to erase white people
If even in Europe, where weapons are not widely available, military police is routinely employed to keep public order, I bet in the US it should become fundamental
In Europe, National Guard/Army is usually deployed after deadly terrorist attacks not patrolling the subway.
Hate comments like this "in Europe" Europe has 44 countries. And weapons arent widely available? They are in many countries.
In most European countries, only the criminals have access to guns.
No. Rarely.
Only at certain places where they have huge numbers of other military personel around Ramstein Airbase and Nürnberg.
Soldiers often use trains to go on leave or back to the unit if thed have a day off.
@@danieliuseidukonis7947hardly any country in Europe has national guard troops.

Interesting observation,in China crime rate is very low and policemen only carry battens during patrolling.

I'm genuinely impressed with the governor's commitment to tackling crime. This isn't nearly enough on its own, but it's also more than anyone else has done in decades to address subway crime.
Where was the governor's commitment months and years ago when preventative measure could have been taken to prevent the rise in crime? Why wait to deploy actual military so close to an election?
