Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates than Democratic ones: study
Yahoo News! ^ | Mon, April 4, 2022 | Ben Adler

Republican politicians routinely claim that cities run by Democrats have been experiencing crime waves caused by failed governance, but a new study shows murder rates are actually higher in states and cities controlled by Republicans.

“We’re seeing murders in our cities, all Democrat-run,” former President Donald Trump asserted at a March 26 rally in Georgia. “People are afraid to go out.”

In February, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., blamed Democrats for a 2018 law that reduced some federal prison sentences — even though it was signed by Trump after passing a GOP-controlled Congress. “It’s your party who voted in lockstep for the First Step Act that let thousands of violent felons on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes,” Cotton said during a speech in the Senate.

“The five states with the highest per capita murder rate — Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri”

They don’t bother to tell you that the murders are all coming from Rat cities.

Including, sadly, Democrat run cities in Republican run states.

So? Let's look at the murder rates per capita by city (political Party of the Mayor is shown in brackets):

1. St. Louis, MO (D)
2. Baltimore, MD (D)
3. Detroit, MI (D)
4. Dayton, OH (D)
5. Baton Rouge, LA (D)
6. New Orleans, LA (D)
7. Kansas City, MO (D)
8. Memphis, TN (D)
9. Cleveland, OH (D)
10. Richmond, VA (D)

IMHO, the mayor of a city has more impact on crime rates in that city than foes the governor of the state.

States and cities are not the same. The article deliberately ignores that fact.

Has more to do with the share of a certain ethnicity in a given state than it’s politics.

Especially those with Soros-backed DAs.

Yup.
But then they wouldn't tell you that would they?
The normal far left disinformation and propaganda.
