Police in Cities Across U.S. Brace for a Violent Summer
WSJ ^ | May 15 | By Ben Chapman

Police departments in New York City and other large metro areas across the U.S. are bulking up patrols and implementing new tactics to prepare for what they say could be a violent summer.

States lifting Covid-19 restrictions and more people out in public spaces in warmer weather increase the likelihood of more shootings, as well as less-serious crimes, officials say. Many crimes, including violent ones, normally rise in summer. Gun purchases also rose during the pandemic and cities have seen an increase in guns being used in crimes.

Shootings and homicides in big U.S. cities are up this year again after rising last year. In the last three months of 2020, homicides rose 32.2% in cities with a population of at least one million, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Quarterly Uniform Crime Report

I thought because Bribem was elected, this crap was supposed to stop. I don’t care anymore, let the cities burn. They come to my neighborhood, it’s a different story.

If the powers that be are setting this narrative ahead of time its because they’re planning more chaos.

“Gun purchases also rose during the pandemic”

Chicago did a study about 5-6ish years ago and found NONE of the guns seized in the arrest of violent criminals were legally obtained.

What’s the sense in the police preparing if the commies in charge won’t let them do their job?

Declare a state of emergency, deploy the National Guard, issue a dusk to dawn curfew, shoot on sight all rioters, looters, arsonists.

The first two items of your outline have or are in place.

(multiple states of emergency, by EO and statute)
(NG in occupied territory of Wash DC, on and off as required last few months)

nothing can stop the others from coming - NCSWIC

They will need to distract people from the border crisis and international events.

So, they will fabricate a new racial crisis to reinforce the need for marxism and to divert attention away from other things like a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

We just had a pro-Palestinian protest. Where they chose to protest worried many people in the community. Concerns that this would turn violent rumbled through the social media platforms.

Of note, there’s no ‘backway out’ of Crocker Park. If you are there...you are essentially trapped.

The radical far left whipped up and funded by the “mainstream left” were used for their votes and some changes to Western Civilization (trying to add genders/change our language/erase borders). Now those activists realize they’ll get none of the MONEY that drove the far left agenda, they’re realizing Biden in just another Republocrat - and they’re just as angry as when Trump was in office.

I DO care what happens in cities; they must burn, then collapse. They drive the nanny-state agenda, primarily because they filled with people who provide NOTHING towards their own upkeep.

Gun purchases also rose during the pandemic and cities have seen an increase in guns being used in crimes.

Gun purchases also rose during the pandemic because law abiding citizens are worried.

Cities have seen an increase in guns being used in crimes.

See how they tried to link the two together?

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city...

Police in Cities Across U.S. Brace for a Violent Summer


I was literally banned for saying that when I was debating on a Christian site a couple of months ago when I was making the argument in my tag line. I said “wait’ll this summer”.

They inferred it as a threat and permabanned me. It was ludicrous on the face of it and completely ignored the implications of all my posts surrounding it. I’ve been cancelled a lot this last year.

"If the powers that be are setting this narrative ahead of time its because they're planning more chaos."

Thread post! The nihilists haven't done enough damage to bring on ultimate civilizational collapse, but they are determined to end the US and Western civilization in a sea of chaos.
