@arobmoney@hoosiercommish I suspect their strategy happened a lap sooner than planned.
They had a gap so changing not the worst idea, as he would/should have integrated into the middle of the group w/ 1.5 laps to go and fresh legs for the sprint. (Better than the gassed rider being caught and dropped)
@RumHamEconomy Why not take the estimated $1 million a day it would cost to deploy the guard here, or even just part of that, and invest in hiring more police and give them more resources? Or put resources into non-policing efforts that go to curb criminal activity… Or even both.
@Waleed51111215 @tutticontenti Bc we know it's a power play & possible precursor to more nefarious action. Guard is not trained for this, and hurts their readiness. Also a waste of money, since the national guard has no (legal) policing powers. Estimated at $1 million per day:

How is the answer deployment of the national guard for 29 days (not more to avoid paying then additional money) and taking federal agents off their assignments to do beat work (for which they are grossly over qualified and paid)?
@Mklenko@CancelTheMSM@funkyjomedina1 So you didn’t see dear leader falsely exclaim that Chicago was being overrun by criminals for dramatic effect and to justify his legally questionable use of national gaurd troop deployment?
Cool.
@Mklenko@CancelTheMSM@funkyjomedina1 “Dog bites man, film at 11.”
Of course crime would drop w/ national guard troops present and hundreds of federal agents on the beat (speaking of, how much is that costing for them not to be doing their actual jobs?).
Not to mention too crime was already dropping well before.
