It appears that DC mayor Muriel Brown has lately shown some common sense by accepting/supporting tougher law enforcement in the capital.
However, now the AG Brian Schwalb (D) sues President Trump? The AG is independent of the mayor and it is an elected official. Some of the arguments by the AG are simply ridiculous!
Is this a nice move by the Dimocratic Party to speak from both sides of the mouth?
What has this AG done about excessive and dangerous crime in DC?
"The city of Washington has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and the military over the deployment of the National Guard in the nation’s capital. ..."
"... These deployments amount to an involuntary military occupation [???] that far exceeds the President’s authority over the National Guard. In addition, most or all of the troops have been deputized by the US Marshals Service to conduct law enforcement activities in the District, in violation of the foundational prohibition on military involvement in local law enforcement.
“Deploying the National Guard to engage in law enforcement is not only unnecessary and unwanted, but it is also dangerous and harmful to the District and its residents. No American city should have the US military – particularly out-of-state military who are not accountable to the residents and untrained in local law enforcement – policing its streets,” said Attorney General Schwalb. “It’s DC today but could be any other city tomorrow. We’ve filed this action to put an end to this illegal federal overreach.” ...
The President’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to police District streets severely harms the District and its residents by
1) depriving the District of the local autonomy granted under the Home Rule Act;
2) threatening to undermine public safety by inflaming tensions and eroding trust between District residents and law enforcement [???];
3) having large numbers of armed military who are not trained in municipal policing patrolling DC streets; and
4) hurting the District’s local economy by driving away tourists and patrons of local businesses [???], especially in the restaurant and hospitality service industries. ..."
D.C. sues Trump administration over 'illegal deployment' of National Guard in Washington ""None of this is lawful," the suit from D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb says."

This is the official photo of the AG, very small and blurry. What does this tell you? 😊 (Source)
