Murder and Mayhem Break Records as Progressive Politicos ‘Disarm’ the Police

Police

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 15 — “Homeless Man attempted to kidnap girl. I am so happy the little girl is safe and at home. Our neighborhood has changed so much. I no longer feel safe. Please be careful.” That message was posted recently on a neighborhood Website. 

Another post on the same Website revealed that an elderly neighbor — he was 91-years-old — was found bludgeoned to death, apparently because the perpetrator or perpetrators saw him pocket cash in a local deli.

Both of these crimes took place in a tree-lined, upper-middle-class neighborhood located in the northern reaches of New York City known as Pelham Gardens. It’s a district that was a safe haven prior to the outbreak of the COVID pandemic.

The fact of the matter is that murder and mayhem have apparently emerged as side effects of the pandemic wherever you live. According to the National Center for Health Statistics [NCHS], homicides increased by a staggering 30% between 2019 and 2020 in the U.S. — the biggest year-to-year recorded increase in 100 years.

Robert Anderson, who is in charge of mortality statistics at NCHS, told CNN: “The only larger increase since we’ve been recording these data occurred between 1904 and 1905, and that increase was most likely — at least partly — the result of better reporting. We had states being added to what we refer to as the death registration areas, so we were counting deaths in more areas over time. We didn’t have all states reporting until 1933.”

The CNN story cites Georges Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association, who says that, in fact, there has been a spike in violence, in general.  

It seems that the COVID restrictions have been playing with the emotions of citizens, whoever they are, and wherever they are, loss of income and anti-police rhetoric have played a major role in the steep rise in murder and other crimes. “People seem to have lost all civility, and then you couple that with having to stay home, and being stressed from that, losing your job, losing resources, fear for your health, more guns. I think we need to figure out how we de-conflict our society,” according to Benjamin.

During the same time that violent crime has been on the rise, America’s police stations experienced a shortage of cops due to the anti-cop vitriol expressed by the “defund the police” movement. It is a movement that has damaged the ability of local law enforcement to get the job done, according to expert observers such as Charles Fain Lehman, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Lehman writes for City Journal, a publication produced by the Institute. 

In a report he researched and wrote for that publication, he noted that “In the past year, city police departments across the country have reported a dramatic drop in manpower, as cops retire, resign, or leave for the suburbs. The NYPD’s headcount fell to its lowest level in ten years. In Chicago, police retirements rose 15 percent. The San Francisco Police Department is short 400 officers; over 115 officers, including an entire unit dedicated to crowd control, have left the Portland PD; and nearly 200 have left the Minneapolis PD or are on leave, rendering the department unable to engage in proactive policing. A recent survey of police departments found that hiring fell an average of 5 percent in 2020, while resignations rose 18 percent and retirements a whopping 45 percent.”  

Why is this happening? Lehman conducted numerous interviews to find out and concluded that protests targeting the police, supported by progressive socialist elements in federal, state, and city governments, have demoralized the ranks of our police departments. They feel that they no longer have the support of the public or their own bosses. 

As one police officer, he interviewed for his article put it: “the good guys became the bad guys and the bad guys became the good guys.”

Is it any wonder why the bad guys are winning?

It’s part of the progressive socialist liberal left “playbook”…..create chaos and mayhem…..Then have the government declare a catastrophe and come in “to save the day” with legislation….and the American people are buying into it “lock, stock and barrel”….because of the freebies….freebies over freedom….thanks to parents who didn’t instill the proper work ethic and love for American values.

This destabilization has been in effect since Johnson and before that the Frankfurt school and Marx. The evil ones have just perfected the chaos, especially withe the neighborhood organizer obummer and before 9/11. Just to destroy America and the family, and feed their own greed.

Demonizing, defunding the police? Actions have consequences so why should we be surprised that murder/ mayhem sprout like crabgrass?
The “cop on the block” was a friend to us kids in saner times. Now this public servant has become a target for Neanderthals.

Until the American people get off their dead a##es and demand changes by their local government, this crap will continue. Look at tv news of the looting, shoplifting,assaults captured on cameras, the majority of criminals are black and it’s black lives matter that wants police refunded. Wonder why? And this warped society buys into their BS.

Tell, no DEMAND that your elected officials support our police. They risk their lives every day they go to work to protect us. When you see them, tell them you have your support.

Really? You think Covid is the reason for these incidents?? Not on your life! How about the deterioration of values, disrespectful behavior of children, poor social relationships and too much social media just to name a few. These kids don’t have any responsibilities they “hang out all day” bored. The parents MUST take charge of their families instead of blaming others! Wake up it’s not going to get better until parents start doing their jobs raising their children

The only people that the Democrats want to be able to defend themselves is the Woke Elite,
and by Elite, I mean the Rich people on the left, those that will rule over everybody that’s not part of the new world order. The 2nd Amendment is the stumbling block, that’s why Lying Hidden Joey Biden will sign the Small Arms Treaty, he thinks that will Give them grounds to take your Guns, the question is how many will rollover for them.
The left does not want local Police, Sheriff’s, State Police, they are working to have a Federal Police Force like Gestapo, SS, Brown Shirts, just think every time you see a Biden picture, you will be required to click your heels and extend your arm and say: Hail Biden, which should send chills down your back.
God Save America!

The “plandemic” is just one of the many parts of agenda 21 and agenda 30.

Only crooks and fools push defunding and harassing our police forces. Our police are prepared for “normal” criminals but these progressive democrats (actually regressives) are not “normal,” they are insanely obsessively determined that we should all suffer the same things (except for the elites in control) and have equity rather than equality. We will sorely miss our policemen if and when they reach their goal of full tyrannical socialism; wait’ll you see their gestapo. Hitler will be proud!

A great many so-called democrats have turned to this socialist utopian insanity just to “go along to get along” with their mob and gave up individual thinking; and the Republicans, well, they are either too lazy or to stupid to learn how to fight to win. Democrats can’t win an election without cheating. Republicans can lose an election, as demonstrated in November, 2020, by just sitting on their butts and complaining about how the democrats are running the asylum. The truly insane are now running the asylum, and they’ll run it right over the cliff. The sheeple will be happy, as that’s what the CCP followers promise; they will own nothing but they will be happy, so take your Soma and enjoy the bliss on the trip to the bottom of the cliff.

The name of the democrat game is to keep the public misinformed and stirred up by complaining about everything imaginable, and lying to the public to convince them that it is the Republicans who are doing what the democrats are doing and that the democrats are good and benevolent, non-racist, and patriotic. Well, they ain’t!

Maybe the survivors (the 10 percent that survives the holocaust of the CCP/Establishment Biowar) will have common sense enough to not allow it to happen in the next human rising; naahhhh, they won’t remember nor read what true history is left after the progressives get through with the “book burning” part of their agenda. Who needs nuclear weapons, biological warfare is much cleaner and it doesn’t destroy the infrastructure (aside from what the progressives’ hired mercenary goon-force rioters do), and it can be blamed on Mother Nature, all the elites have to do is drive their slaves to bury the dead and drug the slaves to keep them happy and in line with the new “rules.” All will now be “equal,” except for the few that are a little more “equal” than the flock of sheeple.

You need to back up on your statement as the rise of crime is a side effect of the pandemic, that is a laugh. The rise in crime is due to the Totalitarian regime (Liberal dumocrats) trying to create chaos in the Republic, by reducing the forces of good to create a rise in evil. There will be a pinnacle where the righteous will take over and correct things or it will all go down the toilet, we will be a third world country of morons. Add to that the focus on the scamdemic and we are surrounded by sheep.

The Police are absolutely appreciated by our family and any others with any brain activity. God bless them and our country. Pray for us all and stand up to the anarchists and haters and the current idiots in the White House. Pray for deliverance from them. Evil traitors don’t care about anyone except self.

I really don’t blame Covid and the lock-downs for the rise in crime. This started when the mayors of blue cities did not punish the violent rioters who were burning down government buildings and destroying private property claiming the rioters were “peaceful protestors.” Defunding the police was the icing on the cake for the rioters. Zero bail was another favor granted rioters.

“Why is this happening?” Insane psychopaths were allowed to perpetrate their insane ideologies on an unsuspecting, naïve and apathetic population. Now we have to deal with it, 1776 style or load up on the buses for the re-education camps. Better wake up, America!

This Democratic Party blind eye to destruction was here long before covid arrived. One example, Baltimore MD riots in 2015, Democratic Mayor Stephanie Blake looked the other way as Baltimore burned by rioters.

“I think we need to figure out how we deconflict our society.”
Get rid of progressive ideals, overturn all lawless, hostile policies, and fully fund and support a complete police force in all states. Provide safety and security on all fronts for American citizens.

Start with social media, then look to the media as they invigorate the lawlessness, then look to the lack of “Real Families” (it does not take a village to raise a child, it takes two loving and mature parents who set boundaries and discipline a child as needed), Then look at the loss of “faith in God”, and I could go on for hours. The worst thing that ever happened to our world is that women were convinced that they should seek employment outside of the home. Yeah yeah go ahead and say I am crazy but look at history. Our children flourished under the supervision and love of their parents!

People don’t understand the evil that is the Democratic party, they are positivists who believe in nothing but the laws of man, no higher power, which means they don’t believe in the constitution or supreme precepts and actually don’t believe in anything higher power or God so abortion is no problem for them or the taking of other life to achieve their aims.
I think the defund the police is designed to create chaos resulting in people defending them and shooting a few miscreants so they have martial law declared as an excuse to confiscate firearms. Also, the $600 floor on this unconstitutional IRS intrusion into financial accounts( not just bank accounts) is to facilitate the tracking of firearms and ammunition sales and create a de facto registration.
If that isn’t the case aren’t you glad I’m not a Democrat?

When the POTUS is a crook, you can expect law-breaking to explode. And Joe Hidin’ Biden is a crook by any reasonable definition based on known activities in related to his past. I guess the Chinese helped in rigging the election to get him in the winners spot. Joe is doing severe damage to this Nation and his Party (which I’m sure is currying favors with the News Media do downplay Joe’s incompetence and dishonesty).

Add to all THIS, the Vaccine Mandates, that the majority of Police Officers will not comply with. They will quit before getting the vax. Also, understand that this government wants to abolish independent police agencies and create Chaos in our streets in order to implement Martial Law, Disarmament, and finally, a FEDERAL Police Force that will answer ONLY to the government, take NO Oath to the Constitution, and hold NO alliance with the PEOPLE.

From all the reporting on this trend in Police Departments,it appears to be localized to Cities that are
predominantly run by one particular political party.
Does anyone know of any city having this problem that is of the other political party?
Just a thought.

Same failed policies ,
straight from the democrat and liberals manifesto.
Abolish freedom by disarming Citizens and increase violent crime by weakening the local police who are there to protect and serve.
It’s time for taxpayers to stop paying for politicians personal protection details and legal protection for ANY/ALL public officials who vote to defund police, refuse to prosecute crimes and allow sanctuary cites that give safe haven for law breakers!
These useless,corrupt, self serving democrats, communists, liberals and rinos must live with the same consequences they legislate upon Citizens!!!
Who the he’ll do they think they are??
They DO NOT give any rights, these LOSERS work FOR us and take their instructions from us!
ALL American Citizens rights are GOD given.
How arrogant, self serving ,and deluded are these morons???

Hmmm, RE: “Murder & Mayhem “, it’s difficult to imagine any conservative organization citing the “Communist News Network” (CNN) as a part of their news source! CNN, MSNBC, to name a few, are the “propaganda” wing of the Democrap Party! AMAC should not reward these propaganda outlets by quoting any of their articles. Wow, that sounds a little on the “rabid” side….

I live in a smaller town of over 50,000 people in Southern Idaho and have noticed little change in the crime rate or civil behavior. But then we aren’t being forced to wear masks or stay inside. They tried last year to get people to comply, but there was enough resistance that even Walmart and Costco gave up.
