LA County sheriff blames ‘defund the police,’ progressive policies for murder, violent crime wave

Los Angeles County’s top cop, Sheriff Alex Villanueva, says the far-left “defund the police” narrative and progressive officials are responsible for a worrying spike in violent crime.

Major cities across the U.S. have experienced a spike in violent crime this year.

In Los Angeles, for example, murders are up nearly 200%, Fox News reported. Through the first two months of 2021, there were 60 murders in Los Angeles County compared to just 21 during the same time period last year.

Portland is another major city experiencing a wave of homicide. There were 25 murders in Portland through the first three months of 2021 compared to just three during the same time period in 2020.

Other cities like New York City, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, among others, are also plagued by soaring murder rates.

According to Villanueva, criminals emboldened by progressive law enforcement policies and the “defund the police” movement are behind the spike in violent crime.

  1. What to know something? I don’t care. Personally, I hope these liberal governed city erupted in massive crime and murders. I don’t care anymore. Why in God’s name we, the people, are allowing this happen is beyond my comprehension. I wish we could start an armed militia here on the eastern shore.

  2. It’s called maintenance in every aspect. No police results in crime. No car wash results in nasty car. No bath results in nasty a… Repeat common sense, no police no law and order. First thing you know people will stop going by the rules of the road even more, if possible. Then you have a sporting chance of being killed by a deranged gunman or perhaps t-boned by him or her in a vehicle bigger than yours resulting in again your nasty death. It’s not a black or White issue, it’s a damorat or simple Republican thing. Time to take out the trash before you are taken out.
