Gavin Newsom deploys National Guard to shut down San Francisco's open air drug markets | The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com

On Friday, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an initiative between the California National Guard and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) along with the San Francisco Police Department and District Attorney's office to crack down on the massive influx and distribution of fentanyl in the Golden City following weeks of outcry over the drug's impact on the city including its open air drug markets.Newsom said in a statement, "Through this new collaborative partnership, we are providing more law enforcement resources and personnel to crack down on crime linked to the fentanyl crisis, holding the poison peddlers accountable, and increasing law enforcement presence to improve public safety and public confidence in San Francisco."
On April 10th, Michael Shellenberger said on Twitter that San Francisco was a "failed city" and called on Newsom to "send in the national guard to shut down the dangerous and deadly open air drug markets."
"If Newsom can call in the National Guard to protect the capital from pro-Trump protesters, then he can certainly call in the national guard to protect San Francisco residents from aggressive and violent criminals and drug dealers," he added.
