Crime boomerangs on Democrat as New Mexico governor pleads with feds for more law enforcement
2022-10-07
[JUSTTHENEWS] New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has renewed efforts to get the federal government to send more law enforcement to the state in order to combat crime.

The governor requested the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) assign more FBI agents to New Mexico in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. According to the governor’s office, the agents would support state and local law enforcement amid a nationwide spike in violent mostly peaceful crime.

Grisham made a similar request to FBI Director Christopher Wray in June to no avail.

"Once these resources are allocated to New Mexico, I am confident the FBI and state law enforcement officers will achieve similar success as the Buffalo office," the governor wrote in the letter to Garland. "Both New Mexico law enforcement agencies and the FBI are partners in addressing and preventing violent mostly peaceful crime. It is therefore imperative to provide the tools and support to achieve our common goal of ending violent mostly peaceful crime in New Mexico."

The request came two years after Democrats nationally made defunding police and no-cash bail for offenders new priorities. Grisham said Wednesday that "we owe our law enforcement officers an immeasurable debt,"

Last year there were 10,129 violent mostly peaceful crime incidents in New Mexico, according to the FBI Crime Data Explorer. The state has the second highest rate of violent mostly peaceful crime in the nation, according to Texas-based Vela Law, which used FBI data. Only Alaska has a higher rate.

Grisham signed an omnibus bill earlier this year which put $50 million towards recruiting more law enforcement officers for agencies across the state.

#8  L/\ LSD? I always understood it to be Liberal Socialist Democrat with an implied subyext that they were 'pinkos', wanted to be just like the more 'sophisticated' European politicos and lastly that you had to be on some mind-altering substance to try to reconcile their doctrine with reality. YMMV.

#7  The answer to the problem is always Moar Fed, and Democrats are making a lot of problems.

The goal of The Fed seems to be systemic failure.

#6  Would someone please tell me what the acronym "LSD's" means in this context?

It means someone is trying to repurpose a well-known brand to signify something entirely different. I am not sure it is working. IIRC, the Chicago Manual of Style suggests that TLAs be spelled out on first use in a text.

In the meantime, think "communists". It is a bit more complex than that, but close enough.

#2  So this is going according to plan. Defund and remove all local police. Then beg and bring in Federal police. Now the fed police state is complete. So much for state laws and rights. It will all go away.

So the LSD's DEFUNDED THE LOCAL POLICE, treated them like crap and took away the power of "local" citizen's to have a say in their Law Enforcement leadership.

Now instead of REFUNDING & REBUILDING THE POLICE, the LSD's are looking to FEDERAL CONTROL of Local Law Enforcement?

NAHHHH!!!
I don't get a warm and fuzzy with the idea of Socialist controlled Federales as a national police force.
