Fresh off his groundbreaking proposal to ban over the counter baking soda sales, Rep. El-Amin’s next knee jerk stupid idea is to have the governor deploy national guard troops in his district. El-Amin and his supporters are already critical of the local police. They often throw out allegations of police brutality and harassment whenever there is a high profile arrest of an African American.

Now if El-Amin has problems with the local police not caring about the residents, imagine the problems when a rural, white national guardsman is patrolling the ‘hood. How ironic that El-Amin advocates for local control of the police department, but he wants the governor to send in troops to do the police’s job. Instead of suggesting such a ludicrous idea, El-Amin should be addressing the reasons WHY crime is out of control in his district. By the way, we’re not talking about ineffective policing here.
