Do they “ultimately control the cities”?
By that logic why isn’t Brandon controlling the murder rates?

I would have to assume yes. Unless you are admitting that republican governors have no control over the cities in their state.
States rights. Florida, for example, has its own constitution and legislative branch.
Republicans have argued that most things be handled by the state… but it seems like that doesn’t necessarily include murder rate reduction

Supremacy clause.
Hypocrisy. Your “logic” fell apart. And you ignore the judiciary.
That mirror can be tough to look into, but try.
Why wouldn’t the demographics matter if let’s say the Amish was committing; let’s make up a number 90% of the crimes in a city wouldn’t that be relevant data?
I would want to to know why Jeremiah and Ezekiel can’t get along and what could be done about it if anything.

That needs to be broken down to see what the problem… or not broken down into further detail if you just want to go,with a misleading narrative.
As to politics…are small central Texas towns the problem…or are large progressive politics run towns like Dallas more the problem.
This thread wasn’t made to find the problem and search for a resolution…it was created to push the “red states bad” narrative from some progressive magazine or webpage.

Do Republican governors have the ability to implement policies and laws that could reduce the murder rate in their state? Yes or no?
Sure, to solve the problem. But aren’t republican state governors, who have responsibility for all cities, responsible for leading with solutions to reduce crime in their cities?

By the way, I’m not white and my family is “brown” as you identify it, which is a racist term.

Ultimately control?
The Legislatures and Governors can pass all the laws they like, but it is the local police hired by the local politicians that are empowered to enforce those laws. It is the local elected district attorney’s that are responsible for prosecuting the offenders.

To appease conservative fears… let’s say it’s 100% black/brown people.
Do republican governors have the ability to reduce that number by implementing state policies or influence their legislative branch to create laws?
Black murderers and black victims for the most part. The most violent towns and cities in Mississippi are majority black, with Jackson having by far the highest murder rate in the state. Indianola and other Delta area towns and cities (like Vicksburg and Yazoo City) also have high murder rates, mostly in black neighborhoods.
Most of these cities have democratic mayors. Although outside of Jackson’s political elite, the majority of Democrats, whether black or white, are fairly conservative minded on crime.
It’s mostly just cultural failures. Black gangs killing each other and innocents getting caught in the crossfire. When a murder happens, it’s usually gang related. Someone stepping on someone’s turf.
There are plenty of white on white murders as well, but most of these are domestic in nature or are related to meth.

Because the claim isn’t “the GOP is better at handling crime, except for the Amish - those ■■■■■■■ are crazy!”
The claim is “The GOP is better at handling crime.”

Yes, I know. I did my research.
And no, it’s not because they are black. As you alluded to, it is because the black nation is more tolerant of thug culture.
The same is true of some white subcultures.
A lot of it also has to do with the lack of a male role model - white or any other race.
Then of course there’s cognitive ability. Stupid people mating and having stupid children who grow up to be stupid thugs.
Race is the least indicative of any trait in individuals.
