  • You left out why this came up:

    Shreveport — the most populous city in the northwest Louisiana district that Johnson has represented since 2017 — has a higher crime rate than D.C. and outpaces the state of Louisiana as a whole, according to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics. CrimeRate, an independent analysis of crime statistics, deems Shreveport’s violent crime as being “higher versus other cities of the same size.”

    “FBI statistics, actually, [show] violent crime per 100,000 residents higher in Shreveport last year than Washington, D.C.,” CNN’s John Berman told Johnson on air Friday.

    If DC’s crime is bad enough to require the National Guard, why not Shreveport?










  • Oh, for sure, the government could have gotten the same result by completely ruling out getting involved, and they would have been left looking a lot better; it’s more likely they would have only said they wouldn’t get involved yet, and then the company would have kept stalling.

    I wasn’t saying the government did the right thing, just that the union managed to make the most of the government doing the wrong thing.
