Anti gunners will often point to New Orleans and the gun crime there...too bad for them, it isn't guns...it is democrats causing the problem....
Yes...democrat policies have led to the increase in crime in New Orleans...
City leaders have worsened New Orleans' crime woes, commission says
"Police and prosecutors are applying their resources more efficiently and effectively, but community safety has not improved," the non-profit watchdog organization said in its 2017 Orleans Parish criminal justice system accountability report. "The critical shortage of NOPD officers has not improved over the past four years. ... The department lacks the manpower to timely respond to calls for service and adequately address the high rate of crime."
The MCC report traces New Orleans' current crime predicament back to the desk of Mayor Mitch Landrieu, first elected in February 2010. Landrieu's two-year police hiring freeze, along with timid recruitment efforts in the two years that followed, allowed the department's manpower to wither by 25 percent, from 1,546 officers in 2009 to 1,165 at the end of 2016.
Left wing democrats raid the police in order to pay for their social welfare programs...they are insulated from the actual rising violent crime..while the people suffer from the violence....
Landrieu previously has defended his first-term policing strategy as the only reasonable response to what he said was a $100 million budget deficit inherited from predecessor Ray Nagin's administration. But MCC president Rafael Goyeneche said in an interview that the ramifications of allowing the NOPD's atrophy are likely to be felt for many more years unless Landrieu and his successor invest in the retention of veteran officers.
