孟菲斯市长回应国民警卫队部署及犯罪率问题

摘要

孟菲斯市长保罗·杨就联邦国民警卫队部队部署至该市一事发表讲话,强调需要明确沟通和社区参与。

孟菲斯市长保罗·杨在总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布派遣国民警卫队部队到该市应对犯罪问题后,表达了对明确沟通和社区参与的需求。杨市长表示,他本周早些时候已通过田纳西州州长比尔·李办公室获悉可能的部署,但正式确认是通过总统的电视声明得知的。

市长强调了了解部署细节的重要性,包括部队人数、职责和时间安排。他建议国民警卫队可以协助支持大型活动、监控监控系统以及参与社区美化工作。

最新数据显示,孟菲斯主要犯罪类别有所下降。孟菲斯谢尔比犯罪委员会报告称,2025年1月至3月期间,重大暴力犯罪较2024年同期下降了近9%。同期,财产犯罪也减少了近20%。

尽管取得这些进展,孟菲斯仍面临枪支暴力的挑战。2023年,该市录得高达390起凶杀案。社区还在应对2023年1月泰尔·尼科尔斯被孟菲斯警察殴打致死事件的后续影响。该事件引发了司法部的调查,发现警察部门存在侵犯民权行为,包括使用过度武力和对黑人居民的过度针对。

杨市长强调了社区参与和就国民警卫队在孟菲斯的角色进行清晰沟通的重要性。他认可了社区的关切,并提及了该市军事存在的历史背景,特别是1968年马丁·路德·金遇刺后国民警卫队的部署。
