Mark Alexander: Dear Victims — in the Wake of Leftists' Defunding of Police

A memo to the citizens of every city where leftists are cutting police protection.

There is a dramatic crime surge in Democrat-controlled cities nationwide, particularly those where leftist mayors have prevented police from defending the public and are actively defunding police operations. That surge includes a 30% increase in homicides in New York, where six people were murdered over the weekend. The surge has prompted 80% of black residents in New York and across the nation to affirm they want cops protecting their neighborhoods.

No surprise that New York City’s police union, for the first time in decades, endorsed a presidential candidate: Donald Trump. Announcing the endorsement, NYCPBA President Patrick Lynch told Trump: “In the New York City PBA, sir, you earn the endorsement and you’ve earned this endorsement. I’m proud to give it.” In response, President Trump noted succinctly, “No one will be safe in Biden’s America.”

In Portland, Oregon, where the mayor and city council are defunding police and refusing to prosecute rioters, the Oregon State Police, who were called in by the governor and mayor to relieve federal law enforcement officials, fired a strong shot over the bow of that state’s politicians. In an official statement announcing they were pulling out of Portland, the OSP declared: “The Oregon State Police is continually reassessing our resources and the needs of our partner agencies and at this time we are inclined to move those resources back to counties where prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority.”

Kamala Harris owns a 5 million dollar house in Brentwood are you telling me this has nothing to do with the fact her family owned 5 plantations and 200 Slaves ? If so we can stop talking about reparations

This is why the Democrats want to erase history. So that we can't compare the past to modern day events.
In 1933 Hitler appointed Hermann Goring Minister of the Interior. His first orders were to defund and eliminate police departments so that they would not interfere with his Brown Shirts whose mission it was to riot, burn, beat up and kill citizens in an effort to sway the elections.
