Good job guys! You're doing it! You're getting rid of those pesky police and allowing the criminals to roam free without White Supremacy slowing them down. Thank goodness!

Impressive upgrades! Keep it up. Thank you BLM! It's working! Now that the Summer has started, I'm sure these improvements will really pick up!
Defund the police, great idea. It’s like pretending that you can hide from germs. Defunding the police is pretending the police are somehow worse than the criminals. Asinine.
1. Were they defunded? Lots of talk but were budgets actually touched.
2. Need to compare to 2019. Using 2020 seems silly given Covid measures and lockdowns in many of the cities you listed.
Crime could be up in comparison to 2019, would be a interesting comparison.
As clinically insane as it might sound, sometimes I wonder if Chauvin was "hired" to kill George Floyd to escalate the "Defund the Police" movement in the country.
I know it sounds extremely absurd but I wouldn't completely rule it out as a possibility, especially after Nancy Pelosi thanked Floyd for "sacrificing his life" at the memorial event on Capitol Hill. Very conspicuous choice of words......

Nope, he had a history of using excessive force at the department.
The crime rate is intentionally increased. How else to destabilize society so the federal government can step in and over state's rights to save us all.
Maybe 20 years ago a crime increase would generate concern from both parties. Solutions are clear and proven. Harris biden and the dem govs refuse to stop it. Now they can also go after private gun ownership. A win win for the socialist dems who willingly sacrifice innocent lives to forward a political agenda.
Well, it's June 21, so year-over-year is still half Trump's presidency. So right now you have to split the fault/blame if you are being intellectually honest. But that's not really expected on this board, so either way you point you are OK.

Defund started in Dem run cities, has nothing to do with Trump. I don't think he helped but this is a problem that's going to need more local solutions. When crime was falling under Clinton, Bush, and Obama, had little do with The White House but gentrification and policing. Cities with less gentrification, like Baltimore and Cleveland, didn't see the drops DC, LA, and New York did. The BLM/Defund movement has hurt Portland a lot more than Seattle because of local power and politics, not the Federal government.
City to watch is Boston, which has a mayoral race this year to replace Marty Walsh, who became Biden's Secretary of Labor. All candidates are leftists, but at least one, Annissa Essaibi-George, has stated explicitly that she's against the ridiculous Defund movement. Boston has not had a crime spike and Walsh was very police friendly, but it has the potential to get worse if the wrong mayor gets elected.
