Avast ye, me hearties! The ruckus in America's crime-ridden lands began in the cursed year 2020, amidst the dreaded COVID pestilence. 'Twas the demise of George Floyd that set the course, as ye scallywags called for the plundering of the police coffers! Arr, a treacherous tale indeed!
Democrats are being dishonest by refusing to take responsibility for the crime crisis they caused after the death of George Floyd. They are now using the statistics from 2023 to absolve themselves of blame, claiming that conservatives made up a "crime crisis" narrative. This shows a new level of deflection from the Democrats, but it ultimately proves that they have blood on their hands.ABC News framed the 13% decrease in homicides in 2023 as a positive statistic, but it ignores the fact that crime rates are still elevated compared to pre-COVID levels. Surveys show that Americans remain deeply concerned about crime, and their concerns are valid. Democrats originally blamed the crime surge on COVID, but it is clear that their defund police strategy played a significant role.
Cities run by Democrats that embraced the defund movement saw record high homicide rates in 2022. However, those cities that reversed their Radical Left approach to the criminal justice system began to see improvements in 2023. New Orleans invested in technology, Philadelphia refunded its police department, and Atlanta increased police staffing.
Allowing police officers to do their jobs effectively reduces crime, but Democrats are unwilling to acknowledge their role in the crime crisis. It is up to the public to spread the truth and dismantle Radical Left policies in order to return to the low crime rates of the pre-COVID era.
In conclusion, Democrats are deflecting blame for the crime crisis they caused and trying to paint a rosy picture of the current situation. However, the statistics and public perceptions show that crime remains a significant concern. It is clear that distancing from Radical Left policies and allowing police to do their jobs is the key to reducing crime rates.
