i know in some cities cases the surge can be blame don weather. its been one of the hottest starts to summer inhistory in a good part of the country. hot weather,especially muggy nights leads to crime surges especially in midwestern and northeastern cities

Does that explain shooting kids? I know altercations, domestic violence rises with the heat. But kids?

It was an opinion. It is still an opinion. As in it’s correlative

Thanks for your opinion. Now here’s the fact. When liberal rich (mostly white) folks take the police away from the poor (mostly black) folks, black folks die. Liberal racism at it’s worst.

It almost makes no sense then that the side effect of this movement would be us going soft on crime with vilifying/defunding law enforcement. Ironically, minority communities are affected the most and more black lives will be lost.

There should be no doubt, things need to change. I have read about a few cities, that did reconfigure the PD, to have more non-police personnel do more, with less cops.

And it does appear it worked. Not perfect, but better overall results.

Camden, right ?

Cool so we are good on the fact that this was all correlative right. No actual evidence except conclusive statements. Cool beans

Not cool at all. It’s a bloodbath out there. And you are voting for people who want to hang minorities out to dry. Many young girls have been gunned down. Do you know their names?

The restructuring that happened in Camden resulted in more police on the streets. What Camden did is NOT what the Ilhan Omar’s of the world are wanting to do.

Awesome! Defund the police, but dammit the police had better show up! Nice!

Cheering violent crime being up seems a bit tasteless.

Maybe. But cheering never got anybody killed. Stupid democratic polices are sending kids to the graveyard.

Yes…that was one, but there was also another one I read about…they made the change about 30 years ago, and it did produce better overall results

hot temps leads to anger and short tempers. gangbangers who are already violence prone go off even easier. the result is more innocent victims. and in most cases of kids being shot its either a gangbanger missing his target or else a relative of the kid is a gangbanger

Libatopias on display. These are micro examples of our country, if Biden wins the WH?

The surge in crime was anticipated when all police were vilified for the criminal acts of a few.

They are handing the election to Trump on a golden platter.

@Eagle-Keeper

The general consensus is that since the protests/riots cops have been vilified by many people in these left wing communities. Many have been assaulted and killed amongst many other unpleasantries. And now what happens in situations when they are called groups of people surround their vehicles and threaten them. Basically the left wing anarchists have essentially emasculated them. So now there’s a power vacuum and the bad guys are filling that.

So that is the reason for the increase in shootings? The protesters in left-wing communities are to blame?

When these same “protestors” are protesting to defund the police and as a direct result of the reduced police presence is then logically followed by an “increase in shootings”…yes, they are to blame…because…they are at fault. The outcome was predictable…or…are you now blind to that too?

@WuWei

So can somebody explain why this is happening? Why are black people shooting black people, including children, in the streets of the cities? Why the big jump in it now?

The experts will say a rise in crime happens typically during summer when people are outside more and tempers are short due to the heat.

This in a combination of cabin fever due to COVID.

For NYC, the bail law which lets criminals back on the street, the release of prisoners back to the streets and removing the plain clothes anti crime unit has contributed as well.

@WuWei

What’s the message?

I don’t think there is one.

However, the message being received is that a hands off approach isn’t working. Law and order needs to be restored. The pandering has to stop.

Perhaps it is time for a wake up call that de-funding the police can have dire consequences. This isn’t just about minorities and what they want.

Rep. Zeldin calls on NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio to be removed from office to...

Zeldin recently penned an op-ed on FoxNews.com coming out against defunding police.

“Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York City Council members seem to believe the NYPD only goes after purse-snatchers and teenagers with fireworks,” he wrote. “In reality, police officers have thwarted terrorist attacks, mass shootings and violent crimes, and saved countless innocent lives.”

@CanadianJudo

Sending police to deal with mental health issues is stupid.

Police aren’t called to deal with mental health issues.

I think the poster you were responding to…continuously hears…police knocking on their door.

@TommyLucchese

Yeah I’m sure the cops are “handcuffed” and not refusing to do their jobs like they’ve been threatening to for five ■■■■■■■ years.

■■■■ these cops for letting people die.

According to BLM, apparently they can only let them die or kill them themselves.

Have you seen what has happened to cops at all in these communities since the protests/riots?

Calling me blind seems uncalled for.

So the shootings are because of calls for defunding the police? How do those dots connect again?

Protesters at a peaceful rally chant “defund the police.”

Something…something…something…

People get shot.

How do the sentences connect logically here? Help me understand what you’re saying.
