There aren't any Pub runs Metro Cities in disarray.
You Tell-um Quick.... Start your own thread~!
The Mayor of Miami is Republican...but Miami-Dade County has a DemocRAT mayor...She was elected in 2020.
Even though she is 'the County Mayor'--- she still has influence over the way crimes are prosecuted. NOT TO MENTION, she's 'very liberal' and is all for Bail Reform.
They ARE defunding the police in Minneapolis. They are stealing $3M from the budget and handing it over to all these crooked “reverends” (everyone is either a criminal or a religious leader in Minneapolis these days) for this “violence interruption” nonsense.
Why don't you start by showing us all those shining examples of Republican lead cities.
^^^deflection...please stay on topic..."DEMOCRAT RUN" cities is what the OP wants to discuss.
In Dem run cities, its not 1 thing/policy that causes high crime, but a myriad of policies. Lax law enforcement & punishment are at the top, but the root cause is poor schools/education, which is due mostly to teachers unions, & broken families...no Dads around.

Total garbage.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minneapolis Police Department’s budget has expanded despite calls to reduce funding for law enforcement in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The Star Tribune reported Saturday that the department currently has a $196 million budget, up about $3 million from the beginning of 2020.
Let’s not pretend demographics doesn’t play a huge role in crime rates of these cities. It’s the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Especially the mainstream media.
Exactly. These lists always come up short.
They should overlay demographics. Income/race/age/education level.
The new police chief was just on TV saying they are robbing his department of 3M and he may have to pull officers off the street to do administrative duties.
If you take funds out of the budget and then add them back at a later date... that's gives a false impression of NOT defunding the police.
It's important to look at crime in major cities over an extended period of time... IMO. https://katv.com/news/nation-world/a...t-cities-in-us What happens all to often, is the left uses the entire state crime stat to dilute the truth. It's cities, urban areas in general, that are the real problem. Always have been, always will be.
Now... the reality is crime was much higher in the 90's over all, and that's why we had the 1994 Crime Bill. It made a difference. However since then much has changed and we're finding our way back to higher crime rates once again.
It's not just the funding that was pulled from many police budgets FY2021, a lot of the rise in crime had to do with Democrats attacking the police. Assuming guilt on the part of PD's actions first.
Every prominent Democrat came out against policing from 2020-2021. They cannot re-write history.
So what did the police do? They pulled back. They're humans too. They're not going to risk their career and/or freedom over some political BS. And as a result, crime spiked across the board, especially in jurisdictions that are controlled by democrats.
The rise in crime lies directly on the Democrats and their actions. Period.
