Don Lemon Asked Maryland Residents About a Potential National Guard Deployment. Here Are Their Answers.

Former CNN host Don Lemon asked numerous Maryland residents about a potential National Guard deployment to the state and the city of Baltimore specifically. I don’t know what he expected, given how Washington, D.C., residents, when asked, are supportive of the increased law enforcement and National Guard presence in the capital that’s made it safer. Even after this deployment ends in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser signed an order directing local law enforcement to work with federal counterparts indefinitely. 

When asked about troops being deployed to Baltimore, everyone thought it would be a good move in cleaning up crime. Some faulted local leaders for not doing anything. But the overall reaction was clear: bring in the troops and restore law and order in Baltimore:
