‘It terrifies me’: NYC subway riders react to Gov. Hochul’s National Guard deployment
Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to deploy the National Guard and state police to check bags on New York City’s subway system was immediately met with concerns that it was more rooted in politics than public safety.“I'm also going to demonstrate that Democrats fight crime as well,” she said during an interview on MSNBC on Thursday. “This narrative that Republicans have said and hijacked the story that we're soft on crime, that we defund the police. No.”.
“That's too extreme right there,” said Brian Best, a 59-year-old commuter at the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium station. “I think as pedestrians, if we was more vigilant and looking out for each other, National Guard wouldn't be necessary. … Machine guns and uniforms, that's just too much, you know?” “We care about civil liberties,” she said. “But by God, I'm going to protect their lives and protect their sense of safety and security here in the city of New York.”
“It terrifies me that these men have these automatic gun machines,” Bushwick resident Daniela Blini said while waiting for a friend. “God forbid if something go crazy here and they start shooting.
