Maybe it's because he saw the rise in polls brought about by Trump's crackdown on crime after he took over Washington, D.C., or maybe he didn't want Trump to take over Los Angeles and San Francisco next.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom made a sudden announcement Thursday that he would expand the deployment of state troopers-the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to support local law enforcement agencies in their fight against crime.
This sudden change is very surprising, after all, allowing crime is the Democratic tradition, and just at the beginning of the outbreak, Newton released 760,000 criminals in advance on the basis of "prison vulnerable group infection", leading to a sharp decline in social security.
Six major regions will be reinforced by state police
According to a statement from the governor's office, the expanded Highway Patrol Crime Squad will be stationed in San Diego, the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, the Central Valley, Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. These teams will operate jointly with local police departments to provide additional human and data resources.
Newsom told a state news conference: "These actions will be targeted and data-driven. We hope to respond to community security concerns through precise deployment."
He added: "Crime statistics are just totals, but people don't live in totals. Everyone's community has its own unique challenges and issues, which is why we are announcing the expanded deployment today."
Vicious cases occur frequently in Los Angeles luxury areas
In the previous perception, the housing district due to the residents pay more property taxes, the conditions are better in all aspects, including the public security has enough funds, and is relatively safe.
The Encino district in Los Angeles was once considered one of the best residential districts in Los Angeles, and many high-ranking officials and celebrities liked to live in the district, however, in recent years, the Encino district has frequently experienced malicious police cases.
In early July, American Idol music director Robin Kaye and her rock musician husband Tom DeLuca were killed by intruders at their home. At the end of July, the home of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp was also attacked by three intruders, who climbed over the fence and broke into the house.
Los Angeles Police Department data shows that this is just part of the story. In June alone, at least 10 burglaries occurred in Encino, more serious than the city average. The city police department noted that cases south of Highway 101 increased by 40% between June and July.
Many affluent residents have chosen to buy guns for self-defense. "I've lived in Encino for years and I've never heard anyone say they want to buy a gun for self-defense, but now people are talking about it." Robert Gruesen, president of the Encino homeowners' association, said some residents were discussing joining forces to hire security companies, while others were reconsidering whether they should own guns.
It is puzzling that, with residents feeling so uneasy, the police report that the overall crime rate in the area has dropped by 19% year-on-year.
Police take over Los Angeles.
Newton’s initiative to combat crime is undoubtedly linked to Trump’s recent frequent statements about sending troops to take over the asylum cities.
In Trump’s statement, the next city to take over is Chicago, followed by several cities on the list, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
After Trump took over the public security in Washington, D.C., the local public security improved rapidly. The National Guard and federal agents patrolled the Washington neighborhoods, which made people no longer worry about being robbed when they went out at night. Trump's polls rose again.
Newsom's sudden offer to fight crime, whether to respond to President Trump's policing needs or prevent President Trump from sending troops? Newsom denied this.He said: “For the president, he does what he does to the people, not to work with the people. Militarizing American cities is a profound contrast to the spirit of cooperation we emphasize.”
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass welcomed state reinforcements Thursday. She pointed out in the statement: "We look forward to working with the California Highway Patrol Department to find the best way to use these additional resources to support local ongoing law enforcement efforts. I would like to thank the governor for his cooperative spirit. The best way to deal with crime and other major challenges is cooperation, and this is a good example."
As for Newsom's high-profile announcement to crack down on crime, whether it is a show or a real action remains to be tested by time.
