WILLIAM DOCK WALLS PROPOSES A SUITABLE ROLE FOR NATIONAL GUARD
Like everyone else, candidate for Governor of the State of Illinois, William “Dock” Walls (I) is troubled by the massive number of killings in Chicago. However, Walls is convinced that the proposal by legislators Fritchey (Dem 11th District) and Lashawn Ford (Dem 8th District) to dispatch the National Guard to patrol Chicago streets is ill advised. National Guardsmen do not have the sensitivity or training necessary to serve and protect the citizens of Chicago.
According to William Walls, “We must alleviate the current crisis and help improve overall safety. However, It would be too risky to allow the National Guard to take control of our neighborhoods. We can not allow Chicago to become a Police State. Yet, there is an appropriate role for every citizen and every force available. The National Guard should be deployed to monitor our Ports, Airports, Waterways, Railways and Highways to help stop the flow of illegal guns and drugs into the City of Chicago.”
Walls said, “Tens of thousands of cargo containers pass through and arrive in Chicago each day. The vast majority of them go unexamined, Many of them contain illegal gun and drugs.
Walls is calling upon Governor Quinn to order the National Guard to take over the investigation and inspection duty of containers passing through and along our Ports, Airports, Waterways, Railways and Highways. The National Guard should be instructed to strategically concentrate on identifying vehicles and vessels that might potentially carry dangerous contraband.
Chicago police officers currently assigned these enforcement duties could be redeployed to assist in troubled neighborhoods.
