Big cities losing cops as crime escalates

DailyKenn.com — Police in Louisville, Kentucky are in "dire straits," according to the New York Post. Officers are retiring in record numbers as crime continues to rise.
In St. Louis, Missouri, the mayor proposed diverting $4-million for the police budget by eliminating 98 unfilled positions.
The two cities are suffering the effects of left-wing media bias that shifts the blame from criminals to law enforcement. Police officers who do their jobs face prosecution and — as in the case of Derek Chauvin — prison terms.
Other cities are facing the same crisis.
In Seattle, Washington more than 200 police officers quit their jobs, citing an ‘anti-police climate,’ according to hannity.com.
Take away...
• Many have speculated that a national police department will be required to enforce municipal laws. It's an invitation to corruption as the Dept. of Justice will require cities to follow woke guidelines in exchange of police protection.
• America's urban centers are disproportionately populated by blacks who are suffering the brunt of police cutbacks. The end result will be an increase is black-on-black crime even as the far-left mainstream media has convinced gullible blacks (and whites) that a reduction in police services is an expression of anti-racism.

The beleaguered Louisville Police Department has been hemorrhaging officers since the Breonna Taylor shooting, in the face of a federal investigation and a soaring murder rate.

More than 230 cops have either retired, resigned or been fired since 2020 — a more than 20 percent decrease — and the department is struggling to make up the manpower deficit with new recruits, Fox News reports.

At the same time, deadly violence has sharply risen in Kentucky’s biggest city, with 201 shootings so far reported this year compared to 109 from the same time last year, and a 75 percent increase in annual murders through April 25, police data shows.

The $4 million diverted from unfilled police positions represents a small fraction of the depart's annual budget of more than $170 million, but it's a big step for the new mayor's agenda: On the campaign trail, Jones often critiqued the city's years-long efforts to shore up police staffing, arguing that more cops were not always the answer to crime while urging the city to instead "put the public back in public safety."

The cities under democratic leadership are the ones with most violence crime and strictest gun laws. It shows how incompetent the dems really are.

All cops should organize a day of protest and all walk off their jobs.
