Major cities like New York and Portland have experienced stark increases in shootings and homicides from this time in 2020, statistics show
Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce lit into the mainstream media in an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ Sunday for what she said is an intentional downplaying of crime surges in major cities across the country in their attempt to get invited to “cocktail parties with Democratic leadership.”
Major cities such as New York City, Portland, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Seattle have all experienced upticks in homicides and shootings from this time last year, statistics show. Highlighting New York City as an example, in May the NYPD reported a 350% increase in murders for the week prior compared to the same time year-over-year, according to reports. Shootings were up 166% in April compared to April 2020, police said.
