Answer my questions first please.
What a weird reply. Are you disputing the fact that California has the most people living in it, in the US?
That is your answer.
Most people? No.
I did a quick check on the numbers, you’re still good even with the 15%.
Why can’t the city administration of DC get control of the country’s capitol?
There are probably more agents of the state per square foot there than any place in the world.

Don’t try to hide behind the states. List the cities and their mayors where the murder rates in these states are going up. Or are you afraid to be honest.
I am sure that the murder rates in St louis, MO are higher than in Huntsville Mo and the rest of the rural areas.
Then you think wrong. Law Enforcement and criminal justice are matters of jurisdiction, both focused at the local level. The judges are elected locally, the sheriff is elected locally. If the counties of the state are divided into constable districts, that constable will also be elected. The sheriff’s department funding and constable district funding come from county funds/county taxes. The county council (elected) controls the money. In the cities, the elected mayor and city council hire and supervise the police chief and control the budget for his office. The judges are under no one’s thumb and the DA’s are also locally elected and paid by county funds. Familiarity with the US legal system would have shown you that jurisdiction and control of the authorities is intentionally pushed down to the local level.

Maybe because Congress reviews all legislation passed by the DC City Council before it can become law, and has authority over the District’s budget?
In which universe will a Democrat controlled Senate allow for stricter law enforcement in DC?

So states have no control over cities when it comes to crime?
The poster posted nothing about black people. You did.
Then what state does?
States only step in when civil order breaks completely down. And when that happens they send the national guard. If you actually had knowledge of how law enforcement is organized at the state level, you would know that the State Police are not manned, nor responsible to respond to local crime. On occasion a taskforce of of state police will be sent to reenforce local authorities, but with a very limited focus, to free up local jurisdiction officers to respond to calls. Our system isn’t, and has never been, organized for state level enforcement of local crime.
A better question is do you want the Red State Governors to declare that local authorities and their Democrat elected mayors and city councils have lost control and have that Red State Governor assume their authority? .
