MSNBC host Simone Sanders-Taunsand pushed back the police’s appearance in DC, claiming on Tuesday during a panel that, as a black woman, as a black woman, she believes that more officials make communities safe-especially in black neighborhoods.
Sanders-Taonsand, who served as the Chief Spokesperson and Senior Advisor of former Vice President Kamla Harris before joining MSNBC in 2022, spoke on the new initiative of President Donald Trump to prevent crime in the nation’s capital.
Trump on Monday announced that he plans to monitor the metropolitan police department to deploy around 800 National Guard soldiers and deal with the growing crime in Washington, DC caused the media to cause shockwaves in the media due to this announcement, but some, such as the MSNBC’s Scarborough, indicated that there may be some truth to Trump.
“There has been a problem in DC that it is not as bad as it was 2 or 3 years ago, but it is not safe as Manhattan. It is not as safe as it should be the capital of the country. By the way, I live in DC for 32 years. I can go to the chapter and poetry if you would like me if you would like,” Sparborough said.

Sanders-Taonsand appeared openly surprised at the words of Scarborough and pushed back her experience in the DC for the last 10 years and pushed her experience back and her husband was running the restaurant association Metropolitan Washington.
“This is the violence amplified by some real real acts of violence,” he said before adding, “I heard the way DC is being described this morning, it is a city under the siege of a city, like it is a dangerous place, clutch your pearls, clutch your pearls, when you leave the house you have found to keep your bag under your dress. And this is not true.”
She said that the conversation is moving around these examples of “teenage crimes”, which Trump is using as an excuse for his “ruling overache”.
Sanders-Taunsand argued that people have difficult to think that Trump may have some legitimate reasons to take such action, but all the time, for all time, people are “ignoring the fact that more police officers on the road are not going to fix the issue of teenage crime.”

Scarborough urged him to clarify, asking, “You don’t think more police make the roads safe?”
“No, which I am a black woman in America,” she said. “I don’t always think that more police make the roads safe. When you walk on the streets of Georgetown, you do not see a police officer at every corner, but you don’t feel insecure.”
“So what about talking about places like South -East DC, Right, Ward 8, if you do, people say,” Okay, we need more officials to make us safe? ” I think we have to rethink what security we mean in America, “Sanders-Taunsand argued.
