Breitbart.com, calling the Democratic party the "Democrat party," taking pleasure in an alleged spike in shootings, and a cherry-picked result.

Four reasons to DISMISS this trash thread. :)

Shooting are up across the Nation in all major cities and has been since summer. And before you go there, Most large cities are run by Dems but even Repub run cities are having the same issue. Making this a Dem issue is dishonesty at it best.

New York has also seen a big spike in violent crime. I think the problem stems from too much leniency during the summer when rioting and theft were treated more sympathetically than they should have been. Then there was the whole "defund police" business which demoralized the police. At this juncture, violent criminals are emboldened. Thanks!!

From your own link (below).

2) Depolicing led to more violence: In response to the 2014 and 2015 waves of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, officers in some cities pulled back, either out of fear that any act of aggressive policing could get them in trouble or in a counterprotest against Black Lives Matter. While protesters have challenged the crime-fighting effectiveness of police, there is a sizable body of evidence that more, and certain kinds of, policing do lead to less crime. Given that, some experts said that depolicing in response to protests could have led to more violence — what some in years past called the “Ferguson effect,” after the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police shooting of Michael Brown, and also seen in Baltimore after the 2015 killing of Freddie Gray.

3) Lack of trust in police led to more violence: In response to the “Ferguson effect” in 2015, some experts offered a different view of what was happening: Maybe people had lost trust in the police and, as a result, they relied more on street justice and other illegal activities to resolve interpersonal disputes — an interpretation of “legal cynicism,” explained well in Jill Leovy’s Ghettoside and supported by some empirical research. Perhaps Floyd’s killing and the ensuing protests led to a similar phenomenon this year.
 
Yeah, D.C. is a lot closer and the criminality from the nation's highest republican held offices seems to be the bigger problem.

What did you think the consequences of your ill-disciplined police just shooting black people for fun would be? Did you expect roses?

Yes, Trump's pathetic attempt at being President, along with terrible rhetoric and divisiveness, has caused civil unrest.
 
We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States. Don't grab guns, grab gun lovers and Regulate them Well!

The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.
