McCain suggests military-style invasion modeled on the surge to
control inner city crime.»
Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) spoke to the National Urban League, a
group “devoted to empowering African Americans to enter the economic
and social mainstream.” When an audience member asked him how he
planned to reduce urban crime, McCain praised Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s
efforts in New York Cirty before invoking the military’s tactics in
Iraq as the model for crime-fighting:
MCCAIN: And some of those tactics — you mention the war in Iraq —
are like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you
clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live
there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under
control. And you provide them with a stable environment and then they
cooperate with law enforcement, etc, etc.
Listen here:
Now that our military experts advocate approaching the “war on terror”
with more policing and intelligence gathering, McCain wants to
approach urban policing with more military power. (HT: Political Radar)
