Responding to an FBI report on Monday that shows homicides have increased an unprecedented 30% over the past year, CNN Newsroom host Erica Hill sought to figure out why. Ultimately she concluded that it was the police themselves and guns.
In a segment with professor and criminologist Richard Rosenfeld, Hill inquired about the police: "You noted in some of your findings that urgent action was required in terms of the rates of homicide, saying 'enacting needed police reforms will be essential.' Specifically, what type of reforms do you think are essential here?"
Rosenfeld's answer was two-fold. First, he declared, "One is to increase the accountability of police officers who've been shown to engage in serious misconduct, accountability before their own agencies and the law."
Hill then shifted to guns: "...for the first time in decades the head of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, telling CNN exclusively a month ago, when talking about gun violence specifically, that this is a serious public health threat. We know the CDC is restarting some of that funding, some of this research. Will looking at the root causes of gun violence, you think now, make a difference moving forward?"
Rosenfeld agreed that the mere existence of guns poses a problem:

CNN - they’re funny. A continuous comedy show, right? As they breath, they lie, 24/7.
People in the media worry about us out here having guns because they know full well what they are and what they’ve done to us.
And we can blame Erica Hills weight problem on supermarkets and utensils.
Gee. Maybe defunding the police has emboldened murderers who think they will get away with their crime because cops are overwhelmed? duh
I’ve already run a test on my guns. Duplicate Ruger LC9’s each holding a full magazine and gun cocked and ready to fire, safety OFF!!
Both guns put side by side in my safe and left for six months. In all that time NEITHER gun went off and no individual was either endangered or injured. Neither gun could be blamed for anything wrong and neither gun was a threat to anyone.
It is the FINGER on the trigger and the brain(?) directing it that is the threat.
If they are getting rid of good cops, and replacing them with leftist jack-boots I would also expect this to happen.
Making a crude gun from readily available components is much easier to do today than it was 800 years ago.
The solution would be to make people stupider than they were 800 years ago. (They seem to be working on it.)
Like the cops in Sydney and Melbourne Australia. They seem to be pretty busy with cracking dow on folks not masking or being too far from home.
The left woild just love to see us turn into Australia right now.
They should blame the Chinese for inventing gunpowder!
Yes. Good one at that.
CNN lies.
Why blame the criminals responsible when you can blame anyone else.
Those nasty guns. I saw a gun chasing a guy just the other day, all by itself
