Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to send in National Guard troops to help make the Big Apple’s increasingly dangerous subway system safe for millions of passengers could be a “test run” for other large cities facing similar issues – but law enforcement experts blasted the announcement as a “power play” and “political stunt,” noting the rise in crime is a result of the policies enacted by Hochul and those in her party.
Following a string of high-profile subway crimes, Hochul announced a series of plans aimed at making the transportation network safer – including deploying 750 members of the National Guard, 250 state troopers, and police officers from the state’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to assist the New York Police Department.
