Because violence is a political thing.

The Democrats are a U.S. political party. Most of the most violent cities aren't even in the U.S.

From the 2012 FBI list.

1. Flint, Michigan - 2,337 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
2. Detroit, Michigan - 2,137 violent crimes per 100,000 people,
3. Saint Louis, Missouri - 1,857 violent crimes per 100,000 people
4. Oakland, California - 1,683 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
5. Memphis, Tennessee - 1,584 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
6. Little Rock, Arkansas – 1,490 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
7. Birmingham, Alabama – 1,483 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
8. Atlanta, Georgia – 1,433 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
9. Baltimore, Maryland – 1,417 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
10. Stockton, California – 1,408 violent crimes per 100,000 people
11. Rockford, Illinois – 1,373 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
12. Cleveland, Ohio – 1,366 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
13. New Haven, Connecticut – 1,344 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
14. Hartford, Conecticut – 1,311 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
15. Buffalo, New York – 1,238 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
16. Kansas City, Missouri – 1,200 violent crimes per 100,000.
17. Miami, Florida – 1,198 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
18. Philadelphia, Pennsyvania– 1,193 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
19. Nashville, Tennesse – 1,181 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
20. Newark, New Jersey – 1,166 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
21. Washington, D.C. – 1,130 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
22. Indianapolis, Indiana – 1,101 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
23. Springfield, Illinois – 1,096 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
24. Orlando, Florida – 1,073 violent crimes per 100,000 people.
25. Baton Rouge, Louisiana – 1,066 violent crimes per 100,000 people.

I see a lot of red states with Republican mayors on this list. The correlation isn't politician party, it's how poor the city is.

Civil unrest justifies the expansion of military authority against citizens by government.
Some would argue there is an intent to create civil unrest to do just this.

As for myself, I'm not sure I would go that far, but I wouldn't rule it out either.

Better check that history: Korean War, WW2, WW1 and Spanish-American War.

The left wing media tells them how to think. Using Peace through strength is common sense if you don't want anyone messing with you. To make it in the streets you show strength so no one will take you on. You know that. The left wing media told you not to understand Peace through strength so you dummy up.

Peace through strength is sometimes all you need.

No place in the U.S. holds a candle to the most violent and dangerous spots on earth.

Just off the top, Somolia, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa and Honduras have one or more cities that rank amongst the most dangeous places on earth.

I need citations where a majority of democrats have said that they are the party of peace. I'm thinking, though, that the OP was using his "gut logic" over that over logic that resides within one's cranial cavity.
