America’s worrying rise in murder rates is felt most acutely in Kansas City, Detroit and St Louis, says a study that blames soft-on-crime policies and efforts to defund the police for a nationwide uptick in homicides.
Researchers found that Kansas City, Missouri, saw the steepest rise from July to September this year, when it saw 15 murders for every 100,000 people, compared to the same periods in the previous two years.
Its crime problem was on show again this week, when police opened homicide probes after two people were found dead in an apartment in the Santa Fe Hills neighborhood and another woman was found dead from gunshot wounds in her car.
Rounding out the top five homicide hotspots were Detroit, Michigan, St Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Denver, Colorado, was the best performing of the 50 big cities in the study.
It comes as public safety and law and order remain key issues for voters in November’s midterm elections, and soft-on-crime policies and calls to defund police forces could hurt Democrats in some crime-ridden cities.

ALL Demon-crat Party’s FAULT for ALL of it !!!!!
This is fine with me. Crime is rampant in all democrat strongholds and since democrats are fine with seeing their children’s brains being blown out it’s fine with me too. democrats hate law and order. If they didn’t love crime they wouldn’t vote democrat.
