Buffalo Considering Defunding Police, Its Murder Rate is Up 71%
Front Page Magazine ^ | Mon Aug 24, 2020 | Daniel Greenfield

Great plan, guys. 

The Buffalo Common Council is seeking community input on a "defunding the police" questionnaire.

What could go wrong?

Shootings in Buffalo are up 71 percent compared to last year, Buffalo Police say.

These statistics come as the entire nation is seeing an uptick in crime.

Buffalo Police say 199 people have been shot since the first day of the year. 120 of those have been since June 1.

Official spokespeople are blaming the pandemic. But the virus isn't making people shoot anyone. 

Black Lives Matter race riots however have spread violence and the Democrat collusion with the racist hate group has crippled the cops.

I did not know the situation was that bad in Buffalo, Texas.

It makes sense.

When crime is out of control in a city, the best way to bring it down is to defund and eliminate the police.

That way, there won’t be anybody counting the murders and assaults and rapes and break-ins, etc. When nobody is around to keep count, the crime rate won’t get reported, meaning that, there is no crime to speak of.

It’s like with Obama: when people stopped looking for jobs because there weren’t any to be found, those who stopped looking were not counted in the unemployment rate, thereby making the unemployment rate drop. Democrats know how to make things go away.

Democrats know how to make numbers go their way, like how they are planning to win the presidential election by making republican votes disappear.

So, if they get rid of the police then their murder rate will go down to zero?

I remember when the Cowboys played the Bills in the Super Bowl, Buffalo Texas temporarily changed their name.

If you’re living in a large urban area, get out if you possibly can.

Think about it. How can the situation ever improve if clowns are allowed to perpetually be in charge ?

Exactly...crime rates are determined by UCRs (Uniform Crime Reports) that are prepared and reported to the FBI by local police departments. Cities and towns have always played with UCR numbers by not arresting say, shoplifters, or minor offenses, just to monkey with the numbers. Because the UCR is what gives a city their “official” crime rate. They money with those to make their towns look more appealing to businesses and people looking to move there.

So, if you defund the police...and thus stop doing the UCR, your “official” crime rate goes down. Simple.

The Democrats have never given a rat’s behind about crime victims. Now they’re not even pretending.

Probably Buffalo, NY.

It’s been a dem stronghold for decades and reports of shooting are on the news virtually every night.
