Homicide has been falling since 1993 setting aside COVID and 9/11. Dem leadership has been doing great for cities around the country.

Covid demonstratably led to a homicide spike even before the George Floyd protests. The peak was the month of May, while the protests only started at the end of that month.

>>1480264
peak homicide rate for 2020 was in july. after democrats began pushing for defund the police. after tim walz let arsonists torch his own precinct. after kamala endorsed minnesota bail fund for violent criminals.

Even if we granted your framing, the Democrat response to mass violent hysteria was "make it easier for them to do crime and don't punish them for it"

>>1480285
Why'd the homicide rate rapidly shrink under Biden as soon as covid ended then?

>>1480288
It didn't. 2021 homicide rate was even higher. 2022 rivaled 2020. It wasn't until 2024, after dems started pulling back on 'defund the police' in preparation for elections, that the crime rate returned to pre-2020 levels.

I see, and why did the violent crime rate plummet in New York City when the police went on strike?

>>1480339
yes, police funding was cut in various states. but "defund the police" was part of a larger soft on crime democrat policy. catch and release, drug and theft decriminalization, and villainization of law enforcement by democrat politicians all contributed to an increase in crime under biden.

NTA, it's convenient that, for you, covid ended long after all the lockdown measures had already ended beforehand. I mean we could consider it officially ending when WHO said the emergency was over with in May 2023... but then that wouldn't look good for your crime stats.

>>1480362
>I mean we could consider it officially ending when WHO said the emergency was over with in May 2023... but then that wouldn't look good for your crime stats.
Actually if you look at the crime stats there's a massive drop in 2023 that continued in 2024.

>>1480364
And yet wasn't at pre-2020 levels like that other anon said. Either way I find it very amusing how you blame covid for the rise in crime and not the PAINFULLY obvious defund the police movement combined with supporting the BLM (you would probably call them the boogaloo) riots, encouraging mob justice.

This is the 5th attempt over the last few weeks for Russian troll bots to use this misinformation to praise Trump without reason. These numbers have been dropping this same rate since Covid highs. Trumps actions have done nothing to lower this number because the large majority of murders are committed by us citizens and immigration has negligible effects on our murder rate.

But keep bullshitting yourselves with misinformation and bigotry, you stupid fucks.

>>1480383
It be like that tho

>>1480383
This is about murder. No one is classifying murder as a lower crime to change the murder rate. You are full of shit.

>...(San Francisco) district attorney, Chesa Boudin, an extremely progressive prosecutor, who some consider to still have the mindset of his days as an SF public defender. Boudin is notable in that he is the child of a mom and dad convicted for first-degree murder in the killing of two police officers during the robbery of a Brinks truck about 40 years ago.
>This didn’t get Boudin and the police off to the best start, and their relationship has gone further south, with Boudin criticizing police for not clearing more crimes. Boudin himself has been widely criticized for failing to prosecute obvious cases, including a person who had been arrested multiple times over the previous year, who had a history of felony convictions, and who ultimately killed two women while driving a stolen car after drinking and using methamphetamine.
>Boudin chose not to prosecute, and forwarded the case to the parole department. The charges? Two counts of voluntary manslaughter, possession of a stolen vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, burglary, driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, driving while addicted to drugs, possessing a gun and a large-capacity ammunition magazine, and violating the terms of parole. He had also been arrested just prior to the crash on charges including possession of methamphetamine and car theft.
>Boudin defended his decision by indicating that the parole department would have a much better chance at stopping the cycle of crime for these types of individuals: “We evaluated the facts, the strength of the case and the charges, and decided it was more likely that he would be held accountable through parole.”

>>1480391
Your one example is a guy who killed people in the car with him while driving intoxicated. And he was convicted of manslaughter, a murder charge.

Also here is a list of times republicans have tried to protect republicans who hit people with their car during protests on purpose. Obviously conservatives are only concerned about this crime when it is not you who is killing people with their vehicle.

Try harder you fascist shill. Your misinformation is hanging out. Tuck that shit away, idiot.

All three of these examples were court mistakes. Paperwork mistakes that let these criminals skirt the law. Trump pardoned hundreds of people who beat cops with Trump flags on national television.

So is your issue crime and criminals being let go without consequences? Well Trump seems far worse than these court paperwork mistakes.

Maybe your issue that these courts rule more liberal and have convicted Trump supporters for election fraud crimes? Because these articles you link all mention that even though it is unrelated.

Hmm seems like you are cherry picking any crime that involves brown people or liberals while ignoring the far more examples of Trump and conservatives protecting criminals openly because they are loyal to Trump.

Maybe this is about MAGA authoritarianism and not about caring about crime?

Do you have any examples where courts actively redesignated murders as not murders with the specific purpose of lowering murder rate numbers to make democrats look good?

That is what you are claiming is fact. Can you give an actual example of that? Or is it all vibes?

>>1480490
Where does innocent mistakes end and prosecutorial disretion begin?
How do we know they were innocent mistakes that happened to let criminals go, and how do we know it wasn't a deliberate effort to release criminals?
Red states have responded to activist prosecutors by reducing their ability to decline prosecuting cases. But a half-hearted prosecution is a prosecutor defacto refusing to try a case

Probably because the economy is doing great, but this still doesn't change the fact that left wingers deserve to die

No. It wasn't. Literally no state cut police funding. Several cities and towns looked at doing so, all but a handful balked, and of those most reversed course literally within a budget or two. Police funding across the country has climbed faster than the cost of fucking tuition.

It says exactly what was quoted, you assblasted faggot.

And they kept it that way for 2 years until the skyrocketing crime became unbearable.

I'm sorry facts disagree with your feelings (Not!)

>>1480609
Lmao you assblasted faggot.
Which city are you talking about? Are you picking out the line "cancelled plan increases" which immediately follows the statement "Diverted ~$60M from police budget over two years"?

Because that's a budget cut.

>Seattle didn't actually cut their budget at all. They just moved parking enforcement and 911 services to a different section of the city budget to make it look like they did
>Minneapolis/NYC reversed the spending cuts almost entirely the next year and ballooned the budget the year after that
>The miniscule reduction Portland saw (it ended up $8.66m) was due to reduced overtime payouts (2020 saw that shit spike due to police presence at protests).
>DC actually cut their police budget because they were bleeding officers at the time. Can't pay staff you don't have. Also, DC is the most heavily policed city on earth and falls within the operating jurisdiction of a ridiculous number of police departments. Also more cops per capita than anywhere on earth. 1 department seeing a temporary reduction in force matters jack shit.
So we've got 3 fake cuts and the rest were completely reversed within a year or two, exactly like I fucking said.

>>1480667
>None of these are states
That's because states don't set local police budgets, turdie. Police are funded by the city government they work for. Where are you shilling from, some warehouse in China or Cambodia or something?

Anon I'm not even that guy you're talking to and I know this is bullshit. First off I'm going to call you out for this bullshit tactic: He said
>"police funding was cut in various states"
You turned it into:
>"Literally no state cut police funding."
And then when he showed you several places "in various states" that cut funding, you thought that was a gotcha with
>"1. None of these are states"

Now that we've got that bullshit out of the way, everyone knows that Austin cut 1/3rd of their police budgets - $150 million dollars - and then broke their record for homicides before 2021 was even finished. It got so bad that Gov. Abbott had to force them to pay their police and then Republicans had to pass a law requiring a minimum funding for law enforcement.

So yeah this is just ridiculous cope on your part.

>>1480609
>Cuts to increases aren't cuts. Eat a bag of rotten dicks.
If Austin cut their police budget, and then was forced to pay their police budget after homicides spiked higher than the mid-80s, it was still initially cut.

>>1480667
>>Austin/San Francisco/Baltimore/LA increased the budget above the cuts the following year past pre-cut levels
>pre-cut levels

So this acknowledges there was a cut? The thing you said never happened?
