Not great news, since 2015 itself wasn't such a hot year in terms of the murder rate for Dallas, either. Be careful out there!

It’s Cruz’s fault. Not a coincidence that he blamed Trump for the Brussel’s bombing, and then we find out the murder rate has sprung up in his home state. /s

No, it’s a sign that they had better be shooting more rabid dogs rather than coddling them. One shot...problem solved. No shot...problem comes back again and again and again...

And a black female Chief of Police in a sanctuary city being overtaken by criminal blacks and illegal aliens.

Dallas doesn’t need more officers. It needs more enforcement of the laws and replacement of liberal judges.

In recent years, many Dallas cops have left and gone to work in Fort Worth, a city that pays them better and enforces the laws.

Actually, we’ve got a incompetent, Affirmative Action, black Chief of Police, but he’s a pussy when it comes to law enforcement and protecting the citizens, so let’s call it a push.

The SeeBS story has no racial breakdown on the murderers or people murdered. It does not identify how and in what part of the city the people were murdered. It only hypes that more police are needed, without providing information on hiring in the past, criminals apprehended, or other relevant data.

Police very rarely prevent murders.
They react to murders and then try to find the killer(s).

You might need more police detectives to solve murders, but to imply you need more police to prevent murders does not make sense ... unless you hired one police per person to protect them.

A little too much reality in your truth Lorianne. Not to be well received by those who reject personal responsibility.

“They react to murders and then try to find the killer(s).”

Sometimes. It depends on the victim whether they put a lot of effort into it.

As in Missouri, this increase will be tied to the change in gun laws even though, as in Missouri, the increases started before the new laws were passed.

But Texas didn’t legalize pot and everyone said the 17% increase Colorado had was all about legalizing pot.

exactly....they do nothing to prevent crime....they don’t any more police, unless they are stationed 24/7 in the high crime areas....even then, they react, they don’t act...

no they didn't say the crime rate was due to the weed legalization...however, legalizing pot sure isn't eh panacea we were all told repeatedly would happen....less drug crime....more "happy" people....

drugs solve nothing...
