New York Governor Kathy Hochul is mobilizing 1,000 National Guard troops and State Police officers across New York City's subway system in a show of force meant as a warning to criminals who have been terrorizing passengers.

Gov. Hochul announced earlier today that 750 guardsmen and 250 law enforcement officers would be deployed across "the city's busiest transit stations" amid out-of-control violent crime.

"These brazen heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated," the governor said, adding the Guardsmen are part of a new five-point plan to crack down on the city's crime wave.

She continued: "No one heading to their job or to visit family or go to a doctor appointment should worry that the person sitting next to them possesses a deadly weapon. They shouldn't worry about whether someone's going to brandish a knife or gun. That's what we're going to do with these checkpoints."

JUST IN: Violent crime is getting so bad in New York City subways that Gov. Kathy Hochul is deploying 1,000 total National Guardsmen, state police & MTA police to patrol them.

Liberal policies have consequences.

If they were not soft on crime, the National Guard would not be deployed to New York City subways.

What’s the national guard gonna do? They can’t arrest them. Maybe they can shoot them and solve the problem. They’re soft on crime and then complain about the consequences of their actions and act like they’re doing something. But I’ll bet they won’t do anything to resend the no bail and letting the criminals out.
