Because he's targeting only the blue cities with majority black and/or Hispanic people. Not the Republican run cities with even worse crime rates. That's pretty bad even by Trump standards.

You might want to consider why it is the blue cities with all the crime...

It's not?

Mobile Alabama has the highest crime rate.

Some cities arrest more offenders rather than ignoring criminal behavior.

It is!! I’ve lived downtown for 30 years and we lost all enforcement and reporting after defund the police and all the buildings in the area have had to self police. Not admitting the problem is how we ended up with this tyrant.

The MAGA republicans just defunded MPD earlier this year. Doesn’t anyone read the news?

The police budget was never defunded. It actually increased a bit. But as pp says, the white house just took a 20% hack to security funding.

These are probable facts, not vibes.

You have zero evidence of that. But if you want to believe Democratic city bad, Republican city good, despite the data, then you have your own #alternative facts and there's no reasoning with you.

I remember George Stephanopoulos saying something like this and having to tuck his tail between his legs for lying.

We knew you were for pedophiles, but now we know you’re a southern primadonna. Probably love Kavanaugh too.

Can’t help lying… Here are the FACTS. But, sure show me your receipts.

“…reverting to the last year’s budget levels would force D.C. to cut 16% out of what it is currently spending. Per initial estimates from the council, D.C.’s public and charter schools would have to quickly trim some $350 million from their budgets, while the Metropolitan Police Department would have to cut $67 million. D.C. Fire & EMS would need to slash $42 million in spending, while the Department of Human Services – which handles homelessness and other social services – would be on the hook for $28 million in cuts.”

Nice try but those we're projections because the GOP house cut 1 billion of federal funding to DC to try to get their stopgap spending bill passed to avert a government shutdown.
So my question is are you too stupid to read to the end of the article? Too lazy? Or just a dirty liar?

Money is not the issue. We have funding for 800 more officers, but no one wants the job. Why would you want to be a cop in DC?

I guess just luck then that crime has dropped here and across tbe nation? Or is it possible that crime really spikes followjng periods of unrest like a Global Financial meltdown and less than a decade later, a pandemic?

None of the cities that you mention are Republican led, even if they are in red states.

Retention and recruitment is down across the country. The reasons are more complex than oh they just don't respect me enough or I might get killed, though are probably good enough reasons for a large percentage of the type people who would want to become cops

That's the point, he isn't attacking any cities in red states because he doesn't want to do anything to disturb the Republican electoral map. Because Republicans are for strong local governments, unless the local government is full of Democrats and then their authoritarian tendencies take over.
