The mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson escaped from the frequent questions from the MSNBC host Joe Scarburo on Tuesday about whether the presence of the increasing police in the city will help reduce the crime.
“Do you think that the streets of Chicago will be safer if there are more uniform police officers on the streets of Chicago?” Scorpuro Johnson asked.
Scarboro asked the question to the Liberal Chicago mayor several times. Instead, Johnson emphasized the need for extensive social programs, including affordable housing.
“I think the city of Chicago and cities around America will be safer if we already have, as you know, the affordable housing. Look, I don’t say -” Johnson started, before Scarboro cut it, indicating that it was not the question he posed.

Scarboro pressed again, and asked if more officers would reduce the crime. Johnson said that the police should not be narrowed alone, describing that “an old approach.”

Johnson then argued that he was about a mixture of police and social programs.
Johnson said: “We are working hard to ensure our entire police department support.

His remarks came when President Donald Trump announced that he intends to use the federal authorities to eliminate the crime in Chicago.
Johnson said on Sunday that Trump’s plan to send the National Guard to the city was “a flagrant violation of our constitution.”
Trump alluded to the elimination of the crime in Chicago on Friday while talking to correspondents at the Oval Office. This comes after the National Guard ordered to enter Washington, DC, to address the crime.
President Johnson described it as “incompetent”, and he said that his administration will deal with the next city. He also claimed that the Chicago people were “screaming” for federal assistance in reducing the crime rate.
