Dems In ‘Defund the Police’ Cities Grow Desperate Amidst Rising Crime Wave

Democrat politicians who sided with Black Lives Matter, Antifa thugs, and other anti-cop radicals suddenly feel the consequences of their knee-jerk reaction to protests. Thoughtless decisions to defund police departments resulted in experienced law enforcement officers retiring early or resigning in protest at unprecedented levels. Coupled with Joe Biden’s lawless rhetoric and an anti-police Department of Justice led by Merrick Garland, Democrat-run cities now suffer a significant escalation in violent crime. That’s why liberal politicians are quickly replenishing police budgets in a desperate plea to attract qualified officers.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio recently stated he would reinstate $92 million to build a precinct he considered dead on arrival during the summertime Black Lives Matter riots. The notoriously anti-cop Democrat stood shoulder-to-shoulder with looters, arsonists, and street thugs engaged in attacks on NYPD officers. He was more than happy to strip police funding and kneeled with rioters for a photo-op.

The NYPD suffered a reported 75 percent increase in officer departures since the Democrat mayor backed rioters against law enforcement. A stunning 272 officers left during a single month, and 2020 departures stood at 2,300 above 2019 attrition. Criminals took full advantage of diminished precincts to the tune of a 30.4 percent increase in crime in April 2021 compared to April 2020. Larceny ramped up by 66 percent, and felony assaults rose by 66 percent.

These statistics may only show the tip of the spear. Police are less inclined to make difficult arrests out of concern for politically motivated attacks on their career and their character.

According to the law enforcement think tank Police Executive Research Forum, nearly half of all police departments polled in 2020 suffered “defund the police” effects. Minneapolis was at the center of the storm in 2020, following the death of George Floyd. Led by some of the more extreme socialist Democrats, the city slashed the police budget by $8 million. Like Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s results, Minneapolis has been plagued by gun violence ever since.

Early data coming out of the city reportedly indicates a 250-percent increase in gunshot victims. Robbery incidents increased by 59 percent, and rape spiked by 22 percent. Local officials returned more than $6 million of the money taken away to placate radicals after citizens brought civil lawsuits against them for abdicating their responsibility to keep people safe.

“We have to have a wholesome community. We need multi-strategy and not a singular approach like the current council is doing, where it’s all about police. Police have to change, but we need them desperately,” Minneapolis resident Don Samuels reportedly said.

Democrat strongholds such as Baltimore and others appear to be following a subtle “refund the police” movement. But the largest problem many face is the fact experienced officers have retired or moved to Republican-run municipalities where their efforts remain appreciated.

Everyday Americans are keenly aware the anti-police messaging coming out of the White House only exacerbated the situation. Approximately 73 percent of Americans recognize that crime rates have spiked in the absence of former President Donald Trump’s law and order leadership.

  1. The butt heads that took funds from the police should be held responsible for their actions. The damage is done. Restoring law and order in democratic cities will be impossible because of current white house policies. When the white house sides with violent thugs the general public loses.

    1. The decision to “Defund the Police” has slammed back on the Dems! They are now involved in endless attempts to prevent attacks of various kinds that are the result of not having dismanlted their “Defund the Police” cry!!

  2. They have reaped what they sowed. Unfortunately, for all these cities things will not return to what they were. It will take years and perhaps a decade for things to return to what for them was normal. And what is worse, normal in those cities needed improvement. Those inclined to a law enforcement career will not easily forget. The effects of stupid moves are lasting.

  3. And the demorats have harmed the citizens of those devastated cities. Hopefully the voters remember who destroyed their peaceful existence when the elections come. The businesses ruined are a real shame and many were minority owners.

  4. I believe what has been said so far is well said. A lot of truth there.
    When you tear something apart, you should be prepared to replace it or fix it.
    Nothing like that happened and because it didn’t, there is not this leap in crime.

    Police have been left hanging w no support from local or federal government, then asked to do
    a job none of those in government would touch for anything.
    Yet they are the ones taking away any glimmer of hope to restore law and order by the laws they are making
    and how they are supporting those that tear down.

    The man that currently sits in the white house and is playing president, should be charged with treason against this country, along with his vp. (and pretty much all the dems as well)
    giving money to Russia, playing footsies with China and allowing drug lords to set up shop in the U.S. is deplorable.
    Yet when it come to the United States, prices are going up, jobs are lost and criminals are allowed to run free and do what they please. Yeah, Joe Biden should be tossed out on his ear and charged with criminal war crimes against the people of the United States.

  5. SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE. IF WE DIDN’T KNOW NOT ALL POLICE ARE BAD. THEY ARE WORKING AND DO WANT TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES AND THE PEOPLE. THANK GOD FOR THE REFUNDING AS I’M TIRED OF SEEING CHILDREN GETTING KILLED AND WATCHING THEIR PARENTS IN ANGUISH.

  6. Defunding of the police is WRONG!!! If the average citizen cannot get the police when needed, then the politician who voted for the defunding should be held personally responsible, criminally charged and personally sued! These politicians want the police to be charged and sued for their actions, then why can’t they be held responsible for their actions? Politicians should not be immune from prosecution.

  7. The entire Obama-Biden circus is one big never-ending disaster.
    The sooner these “traditionally democrat” places learn that it was “Democrat Mismanagement and False Policies” that landed them A. in Police Brutality, and B. in lacking solutions for social problems, the sooner they will get any way out of the situation where 90%+ of all the decried Black Deaths through Police happen.
    And the sooner they are willing that they made a huge mistake when trusting the PROVEN NEGRO HATER Biden (see Rodney King, etc), the better they will know for whom to vote next (and it’s not slave owner great-great-granddaughter Kamala)
