After Years of Pro-Criminal Policies, Democrat D.C. Councilman Urges National Guard Intervention Over Surging Capital Violence (VIDEO)
Following several years during which the D.C. Council championed pro-criminal and anti-police measures, Ward 8 Democrat Councilmember Trayon White has sounded the alarm on the alarming crime rates in the District.
He has made a pressing appeal to deploy the National Guard as a part of a multifaceted strategy to counteract the soaring violent crime in the nation’s capital.
Addressing the media on Tuesday near the haunting backdrop of Saturday’s mass shooting on Good Hope Road, White emphasized the dire need for the entire community to rally together against the spiraling violence, which resulted in a 28% spike in homicides this year.
As part of the proposed measures to combat the rising threat, he advocated for deploying the National Guard to patrol D.C.
