"Chaos is reigning supreme" with violence in the nation's cities and that will continue and even climb this summer because of the actions of politicians that are undermining law enforcement, former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke told Newsmax on Saturday.
"I'm talking to the political class," Clarke told "The Count." "They're the ones that screwed up this. The residents, the taxpayers, the business owners, they understand the importance of the police."
Politicians, though, "got into bed with the cop haters and try to appease them instead of allowing the law enforcement to keep control," said Clarke, adding it has lead to increased crime and violence in the nation's cities.
"This is going to be an unbelievable summer, and I don't mean that in a very good way," he added.
His comments come after all 50 rapid response unit officers in Portland, Oregon, this past week resigned in protest when a fellow police officer was indicted for the alleged use of unlawful force during a protest in the city.
Clarke said the situation in Milwaukee is "much the same as in other cities, as shootings and homicides are off the charts there as well.
"There's a cause and effect here and everybody knows it," he said. "This is not a sterling revelation that when they started talking about taking resources away, what it signals is how serious these political figures are about not improving the quality of life in the city."
There is also a "ripple effect" from the increased crimes because businesses are having trouble operating at a profit and home values are declining, meaning property tax revenues are declining.

Skyrocketing Crime Spike Causes Woke Cities That Defunded Their Police to Re-Fund Them
and it all comes down to one person , Obama
I live miles from any city and never see law enforcement anywhere near my house.
“To me, it looks like most of the crime/violence is caused by Blacks.
(You’re a lot safer out of the city)
To avoid violence, stay away from Blacks.”
Correct. Clearly. Everyone knows this, it’s just a matter of how much one is willing to maintain a lie.
I have concluded that liberals like filthy cities, egregious human suffering and lots and lots of crime. There’s simply no other explanation.
To the extent honorable citizens run away the problem will only get worse.
They gave a blank check to criminals to do whatever they want when they canonized Saint Floyd of Fentanyl.
The Communists NEED chaos!
In democrat cities. Good. I hope they burn.
They want to create a National police force.
I tend to stay away from cities. I like living in the country or suburbs.
Admiring Handy Work: NBC Gawks at Low Cop Morale After Stoking Hate

As part of their “Future of the Force” series Monday, NBC Nightly News and anchor Lester Holt took a step back to admire their handy work, gawking at how morale in police departments nationwide was “at an all-time low.” Of course, this comes after the network spent over a year stoking hate of cops, backing the defund the police movement, decrying cops protecting their lives, and deceptively editing evidence of a just use of force to protect a civilian.
“After a year of facing unrest, more and more police officers are leaving the job. And many say morale has plummeted,” announced Holt, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez unironically filed his report from Portland, Oregon, which saw Antifa terrorists try to kill police by trapping them in the federal courthouse and trying to burn it down:
Since last July, at least 115 Portland officers left the force either by resigning or retiring. There are barely 800 left. Just last week, members of the city’s rapid response team resigned from the unit after one officer was charged with excessive force during a protest last year
