Gratian risk of abuse during the pandemic indonesias politicians are accused of failing to protect societys most vulnerable. And how a coronavirus cast you in zimbabwe has led to accusations of Rights Violations by the government. Now hes billing himself as the no an order president and 3 months out from the election donald trump has announced that hundreds of federal Law Enforcement officers will be sent to the cities of chicago and albuquerque to combat what he calls rising crime state governors and city officials all democrats say this is a political stunt like our reports. The concern about federal involvement was sparked by scenes like this from Portland Oregon to weeks of anti racism protests federal troops in unmarked uniforms moved in confronting demonstrators and detaining them in unmarked vehicles much to the anger of the states governor this is a democracy not a dictatorship and we cannot have secret police abducting people into and putting them in unmarked vehicles. I cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the United States now the president has announced his intention of sending federal offices to several other cities today im announcing a surge of federal Law Enforcement into American Communities plagued by Violent Crime who will work every single day to restore Public Safety protect our nations children and bring violent perpetrators to justice for months President Trump has regularly tweeted law and order in capitals and this decision is regarded by many as a Campaign Ploy in an Election Year the mayors of several major cities have sent this letter to the attorney general blasting the proposed deployment the letter reads in part these are tactics we expect from authoritarian regimes not our democracy that has been an especially violent summer atlanta has seen a 300 percent spike in shooting victims compared to the same week in july last year in new york city over the past week shooting victims are up more than 200 percent.

It is certainly my hope that their behavior will be entirely legal but based on what i saw in portland it is my opinion that some of that behavior looks like criminal conduct. As a democratic strategist who served in the Obama Administration he says trying the strategy is likely to harm his chances of reelection. I would have to argue that what were seeing right now and law and order strategy is really nothing but a lection year ploy to directed at democratic cities to try and demonstrate it is they said he is the. Law and order president if you recall 4 years ago he said i alone fix the problems plaguing america and what weve seen out of this president is higher unemployment weve seen pandemic and many other western countries have been able to handle a completely go off the rails weve seen now watching 20000. 00 americans die as a result of the pain and it was seeing economic calamity were seeing unrest in the streets and were also seeing a president that has absolutely no clue as to whats happening in cities and has absolutely no plan no order to 16 incisions the number of holes that are shown that. Is actually losing on this cortical longer strategy so a. B. C. News Washington Post poll recently. Has a 9 point lead over trump when it comes to issues of safety and security and law and order Kaiser Family foundation has a tim point lead by over truck one percent to 44 percent when it comes down to the issues of safety and crime so poll after poll showing that actually does not have a winning hand when it comes to this and give i think what people are seeing is that the emperor has no clothes to get though your leadership on crime and safety issues they are leadership Economic Issues though your leadership on the public see the Public Health issues are very clear and as we get closer to the elections i think thats just going to really exacerbating it for the president.
