The decision by Governor Hochul, to post the National Guard in subways, is controversial. Whatever one’s view of this deployment, it should be a no-brainer that the guardsmen and women should leave their assault rifles back in the barracks.These soldiers are not responding to a terrorist threat. Side arms and tasers are far more useful (and far less intimidating to the public) to prevent misconduct by potential violent offenders and emotionally unstable individuals.
Better yet, let the military attend to military matters and, instead, provide an increased police presence to preserve the peace and calm public fears in the subway.
