Care To Guess How Many Of The Deadliest Cities In The U.S. Have A Republican Mayor?

[IM2]

A mayor is just one vote on the city council. The mayor's alone does not set city policy. I lived in a city with a Democratic mayor with a Republican majority on the city council. And the city at that time had one of the highest per capita crime rates in the country. Everything proposed that contained proven methods to reduce crime, those Republicans on that council voted against and they voted only for continuing the failed initiatives by organizations they served on as board members. So we took them to the hoop for conflict of interest and ended up getting several Republican heads of agencies removed and changes to the funding process. So don't be Republicans trying to blame Democrats for crime as if what you propose is going to stop crime. What you guys propose makes things worse.

 

[IM2]

Proportionally, yes.

Volume-wise, no.

a. If I have a village of 100 people and 10 of them commit crimes then I have a 10% crime rate.

b. If I have a town of 1000 people and 90 of them commit crimes then I have a 9% crime rate.

I have 80 ( 90-10 ) more crimes in (b) than I do in (a).

Those 80 victims might have something to say about which is worse.

If I am in charge of law enforcement and contemplating a surge of LEOs I will choose (b) every time, tending to (a) later.

So will any sane elected official who cares about law-and-order.

This way, only 10 people are harmed and 90 people are saved.

The lesser of two evils... worth choosing each-and-every time.

And if, by doing so, I can rationalize a decent excuse to get boots-on-the-ground in a Sanctuary Jurisdiction... all-the-better.

The problem with your village is that criminals don't get caught. Surges of law enforcement don't reduce crime in the long run. In order to reduce crime, you must stop the causes. Surging law enforcement does nothing to stop the cuse. It's time the finger-in-the-dike thinking ended and we produce a holistic plan for crime prevention.

Republicans drive the economy. But the poor don't normally work and vote for democrats when voting.

...who promise them 'free' stuff to do so. Of course 'free' meaning 'tax-payer funded.'

 

[Kondor3]

The problem with your village is that criminals don't get caught.

Yep. The 90 get the attention rather than the 10.

...Surges of law enforcement don't reduce crime in the long run...

I entirely agree.

But such surges kick-the-$hit out of local gang-rats in the short run and when you combine that with Immigration Enforcement surges that actually makes some considerable minority percentage of gang-crime go away for good.

...In order to reduce crime, you must stop the causes...

Yep. You rebuild the house so that it's more fire-proof. But, first, the EXISTING fire has to be extinguished.

...Surging law enforcement does nothing to stop the cuse...

Yep. But it puts-out the EXISTING fire for a while and it showcases the idea that local LibProg officials don't have the answer.

...It's time the finger-in-the-dike thinking ended and we produce a holistic plan for crime prevention.

Yep. And ya'll can get started with that right after the EXISTING fire is put out.

BTW... any Holistic Plan that includes Cashless Bail or high thresholds for either Prosecuting or Sentencing is a non-starter.

Your way doesn't work. I doesn't put out fires; in fact, it creates more. Especially when overzealous law enforcement abuses its authority.

You are an amateur. You haven't created one program to address the issue of crime or gangs. I have, and it was given awards by the city where it was implemented. So shut up.

Overzealous criminals are the genuine problem. So, you cured crime, eh?

Did you vote for a felon in last election bob.

 

[SweetTea]

Why us it maga red pols can't win in cities?

Why is it they just win in less educated white rural areas?

Less indoctrination? Remember, many if these "educated" folks that believe that Socialism is the way to go.

Until the last court decides, I say not yet. Why did you vote for the criminal Biden?

What do you really know about socialism besides what some right-wing dropout tells you?

How?

Do rural people have less critical thinking skills?

Does less cultural literacy in rural areas mean they vote conservative?

Or does rural forced conformity to a political agenda rule.

Tell us all how socialism works in America.

Tell us about your understanding of socialism and how it works. Then provide an example of it here in America.

 

[Kondor3]

Your way doesn't work.

Immigration Enforcement has not been tried on this scale... at least not since the 1950s...

And the border has never been slammed-shut the way it is now...

Between the two macro-level actions we should be seeing some good results in the coming months...

And there isn't a thing you can do about it in the interim...

I doesn't put out fires; in fact, it creates more. Especially when overzealous law enforcement abuses its authority.

Has law enforcement abused its authority?

You are an amateur...

Entirely true.

...You haven't created one program to address the issue of crime or gangs...

Entirely true.

...I have...

Then you need to get your a$$ back out there rather than haunting an obscure message board...

...and it was given awards by the city where it was implemented...

Oh, goodie... an Award...

It it still operational?

Is it making a significant difference in crime? What is your basis for that comparison? Who judged the thing?

On what scale? Ford Heights, Illinois?

So shut up.

Not a chance.

You phukk-ups have had your chances... YEARS of chances... and you have not been able to get the job done.

It's somebody else's turn now.

And all the whiney-biotch kvetching in the world isn't going to do you one bit of good.

First things first...

The Illegals go...

Now...

Enjoy.

Maybe she can instruct us all on fascism since the way it is used by Democrats is totally wrong.

bob, you can’t define fascism.

So, why you trying post something?

 

[Crepitus]

Of course we all pretty much know the answer to this already but, somehow, democrats ignore the truth and the facts. They are fact deniers. Facts are stubborn things.

• Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 12 are located in red states, but only one currently has a Republican mayor.
• And while Shreveport, La, currently has a Republican mayor, a Republican has run the city only 11 of the past 152 years.
• It’s been 50 years since Birmingham, Alabama, last had a Republican mayor.
• The last time there was a Republican mayor in St. Louis, Mo., was 1949.
• Atlanta hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1879; New Orleans, hasn’t seen one since 1872.
• In Indianapolis, the homicide rate has been elevated ever since Democrats gained control of the mayorship in 2017. From 2010 through 2016, the annual number of homicides in the city averaged around 120. Since then, it’s averaged 201.
• The Republican mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson, ran twice as a Democrat and switched to the GOP less than two years ago.
