Help me out here: I can’t figure out the connection - and why:

“...we’re now into our 8th year of an upward trajectory in terms of homicide and violent crime.”

Defund the police cities where George Soros has helped elect soft-on-crime DAs?

My Leftist in-laws (Canadians and Philly) all argue “You aren’t black. You don’t know what it is like being harrassed by the police.” My counter: “If they weren’t doing crime, they wouldn’t be harraseed.

Even Chris Rock said that.

Larry Elder (black) says that all the time as well on his radio show:

If you don’t wish to be harassed or stopped by the police, stop committing crimes.

It really is as simple as that.

Nashville surprised me too - Memphis I could understand.

Maybe a Freeper here from the area could tell us what is going on there?

For some reason the Democrats want cities to be filthy, crime ridden, poor and violent cesspools of suffering. I refuse to believe it’s inadvertent.

Must be big money in being an “expert”. Seems like everywhere you turn, there’s an expert doing the opposite of what you’d expect an expert to know how to do.

CCW in Jacksonville, FL is problematic with the standard shorts/T-shirt wardrobe.

wardaddy would be the local expert, but as someone who passes through regularly and pays a little attention, it seems to be just the typical results of Leftist council people, mayors, and DAs getting elected and not properly handling violent crime.

Nashville isn’t TN just like Austin isn’t TX.

DC has returned to levels of violent crime they have not seen in 20 years. Its BLM, defund the police, lefty policies, and the stupid dimocrap leftist mayor.
