Shootings, Violence Jump In Cities Where Mayors Have Restrained Police

Activist campaigns against police to have accelerated in the wake of a violent altercation between police and George Floyd that prefaced his death. In response, mayors of several cities have reduced police presence. This has led in several cases to dramatic increases in violent crime.

Seattle

Since violent protests against police have begun, there have been numerous reports of shootings occurring in Seattle and the six-block Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone over the last few days.

One protestor named Jake Scheels inadvertently caught a shooting on camera. In one moment, Scheels can be seen describing life in the CHAZ while he plays frisbee and walks around the area. A neighborhood overtaken by gun-toting anti-police vigilantes, CHAZ is also known as Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or CHOP.

Of course, lawlessness promotes criminal action. Don't need a college degree to know that.

Degree in common sense is much cheaper!

Who cares. They deserve the murders. They deserve to live in a war zone. They want to demonize the police then they have no choice but to live with the consequences.

Northwest Woodsman: What could possibly go wrong? What? These incompetent Pedomarxist democrat politicians didn’t anticipate this result? I’m rapidly losing any hope for the survival of this country.

The pandering politicians will sing a different tune when the disenchanted mob starts heaving bricks at their windows. But they will have gutted those who normally would have protected citizens.

Inactions also have consequences.
