Democrat cities lead in murder…stop trying to deny it….they have extreme gun control

thats what cops do. I don't read the gateway pundit, it's a rag.
Really? Down where i live, cops are admired and do what they are trained to do, that is to serve and protect not murder innocent people because they were trained to be savages. Blue cities do have a problem with low IQ police but i guess that is all they can get to work for the police. Hire the bottom of the barrel you end up with lots of bad people.

As for reading of course you dont, it requires intelligence to actually understand that your side if the enemy of the people. You have been so brainwashed(if you have a brain) that Joe Biden could tell you that you have nothing to worry about with all the crime, because there isnt any crime happening. While the rest of US know that under the dipshits admin, crime is the worst ever. Thanks for playing, now go back to your asylum where you belong.

There don't seem to be any Republican cities over a million people.

 
Then why do the Red States have higher murder rates than the blue states?
Intentional_Homicide_Rate_by_U.S._State.svg


We have a murder problem across the entire country, not just the "cities".



And you know we have shown you that the blue cities in those red states driving the murder rates...you dope....

In February 2022, CBS News published a report about cities with the highest homicide rate, "Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities." Of the top 10 deadliest cities in the country, all of them are cities with Democratic mayors. Moreover, of the 65 cities on this list with the highest murder rates, the overwhelming majority had Democratic mayors. And, to quote Clinton, "that's just a fact."
----
On Nov. 4, the Heritage Foundation released a study showing that "high-crime counties are governed largely by Democrats." It revealed that of the 30 cities with the highest murder rates in the country, 27 have Democratic mayors. Furthermore, of those 27 cities, nearly half (14) have radical left-wing prosecutors funded or inspired by affluent billionaire and leftist political activist George Soros and the Open Society Foundation.
"The high murder rate is almost exclusively cabined in cities run by Democrats and with Democrat district attorneys, many of whom are Soros bought-and-paid-for rogue prosecutors or inspired by Soros, groups like the egregiously misnamed Fair and Just Prosecution and other battering rams of the movement," the authors of the study stated.

Don't believe Democrats' lies — blue cities, not red states, have the violent crime problem

From poster, Toobfreak.

I chose 58 cities as that was the largest number I could fit on a page. I then went through each city one by one to look up the major of every city. Aside from the fact that you can forget finding any pattern of cities in "red" states being the most with the highest crime as the idiot Marc tries to claim, but I went down the list marking all the mayors of the highest crimes cities in America in BRIGHT RED who were DEMOCRATS.


Look at what I found:

Every city above in red is RUN BY A DEMOCRAT!

Murder map: Deadliest U.S. cities


Also.....

The No. 1 state on Third Way’s list is Mississippi. Sure enough, the statewide vote in the 2020 election was for Trump. But within the state, Hinds County residents voted for Joe Biden, 3 to 1. Mississippi’s biggest city, Jackson, is in Hinds County. You know where this is going.
Reporting on Jackson last year, CNN declared it “one of the deadliest U.S. cities.”

The mayor of Jackson is Chokwe Antar Lumumba, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jody Owens, a Democrat.
No. 2 on the list is Louisiana. Trump won that state, too. But on the more local level, he lost Orleans, the parish that contains New Orleans, the state’s most populous city. Residents there went for Biden almost 8 to 1.
“New Orleans had the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with about 41 homicides per 100,000 residents.”— The Wall Street Journal, Sep. 16, 2022
The mayor of New Orleans is LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat. The district attorney is Jason Williams, also a Democrat.
No. 3 on the list is Kentucky, another red state that voted to elect Trump. But Kentucky’s biggest city Louisville is in Jefferson County and 60 percent of those voters supported Biden.
This is from Kentucky-based think tank Pegasus Institute in August: “In the last decade, the city of Louisville has seen unprecedented increases in shootings and homicides. 2020 became Louisville’s deadliest year on record, and 2021 have proven to continue that trend.” The organization reported last year that Louisville’s homicide rate was competing with the likes of Chicago and Philadelphia.
The mayor of Louisville is Greg Fischer, a Democrat. The district attorney is Thomas B. Wine. He is also a Democrat.
Next is Alabama at No. 4, another 2020 red state. But Biden won the most votes in the most populous county, also called Jefferson. He won 56 percent to Trump’s 43. Within Jefferson is the city of Birmingham, which has the third-highest murder ratein all of the U.S.
The mayor of Birmingham is Randall Woodfin. He’s a Democrat, just like the district attorney, Danny Carr.
In slot No. 5 is Missouri. Again, a Trump state. And again, with the county containing its biggest city, St. Louis, going for Biden, 61 percent to Trump’s 37. St. Louis has the fourth-highest murder rate in the country.
Mayor: Tishaura Jones, Democrat.
County prosecuting attorney: Wesley Bell, same.
No. 6 is South Carolina. Trump won that state, but Charleston County, with the city of North Charleston, went for Biden with 56 percent of the vote. North Charleston has the highest murder rate in the state.
Finally, here we have a city with a mayor, Keith Summey, from the Republican Party. The county solicitor — Charleston does not have a district attorney — is Scarlett Wilson, also a Republican.
Not that we’re keeping score, but that brings the number on this list of Republicans who might feasibly be held accountable for raging crime in their cities to a grand total of two. For Democrats, it’s so far 10.
The next two states on Third Way’s report, New Mexico and Georgia, went blue in 2020, so we’ll skip those.
No. 9 is Arkansas, which was red. But again, Pulaski County, with the state’s biggest city of Little Rock, went blue with 60 percent of voters choosing Biden. That city reportedly has one of the highest violent crime rates in the state. The mayor of Little Rock is Frank Scott, a Democrat. The county prosecutor, Larry Jegley, is a Democrat as well.
Lastly, at No. 10, is Tennessee. Another red state with a major blue county that went for Biden. That county here would be Shelby, with 64 percent of the vote going to the president. In Shelby is the city of Memphis, which, according to The New York Times, “is often ranked among the nation’s most violent cities.”
The mayor of Memphis is Jim Strickland, a Democrat. Steve Mulroy, a Democrat, is the recently-elected district attorney.
To recap, of the eight red states listed in Third Way’s report as being among the top 10 with the highest murder rate, the cities where all that murder is happening are run almost exclusively by Democrats. All but one had a Democrat mayor. And all but one had a Democrat responsible for pursuing criminal prosecutions.


The Left's Funny New Lie: It's The 'Red States' With More Crime!
 
This article highlights a new study on city homicide rates……..no surprise to anyone with a brain, democrats lead the way in chaos and murder…

WalletHub’s “Cities with the Biggest Homicide Rate Problems” study is out and suggests that blue city residents have a higher chance of becoming a homicide victim.

The homicide rate in the U.S. has seen a rapid increase during the past few years. In this study, WalletHub compared 45 of the largest U.S. cities based on per capita homicides in Q4 2022, as well as per capita homicides in Q4 2022 vs. Q4 2021 and Q4 2020.

The top five worst cities for homicide, beginning with No. 1, are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Las Vegas and Kansas City, Mo.
The top five best cities for homicide rates, beginning with No. 41, are: Scottsdale, Arizona; Anchorage, Alaska; Fort Worth, Texas; Dallas; and St. Petersburg, Florida.

The list is dominated by cities with strong Democrat governments with the only Republican city within the top 10 being Jacksonville, Florida, at No. 9. The only other two Republican-controlled cities to make the list are Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at No. 27 and Fort Worth, Texas, at No. 43




The Walmart hub study……

The thread premise is a lie, unreliable sources and rightwing fake news sites.
 
fox isnt an good one to have on, I get more indept news from CNN and MSNBC. All they show on fox is black guys killing whites, the drugs from the boarder, and the Murdough case.

You missed the story how 5 officers killing 29-year-old in TN after a traffic stop.

They neglected this story.
On January 7, he was pulled over by Memphis officers on suspicion of reckless driving, police said in their initial statement on the incident. As officers approached the vehicle, a “confrontation” occurred and Nichols fled on foot, police said. The officers pursued him and they had another “confrontation” before he was taken into custody, police said.

restless driving, somebody should have left them alone, no good to chase speeders. Take the numbers of the plate down and you have them.

He should of not confronted them, but what they said would be up for context. They found the 5 officers guilty.
Which has nothing to do with the story. Please try to keep up.

These dishonest Moon Bats will never acknowledge that the great majority of gun crime takes place in Democrat big city shitholes by the main voting block of the filthy Democrat Party. Even when we show them the facts. They hate facts.

The Left's Funny New Lie: It's The 'Red States' With More Crime!

North Charleston has been rough for 60 years.
 
The red states have higher murder rates than the blue states.

The blue states have cities, too... yet they are lower in murder rates than the red states with cities.
The data shows that crime in democrat run cities in otherwise red states skews the numbers.

Blue states have cities where crime is out of control due to democrat coddling of criminals.


WASHINGTON—Hitting back at the highly misleading claim that “red states have a murder problem,” The Heritage Foundation is out with a new report today that shows the opposite—U.S. counties and cities primarily run by Democrat officials have a murder problem.

Heritage legal fellows Charles “Cully” Stimson and Zack Smith, along with Heritage chief statistician Kevin Dayaratna, dug into state murder rate data to find that even in states with Republican governors—or states that voted for President Donald Trump—a large portion of murders occurred in the state’s biggest cities or counties that were primarily run by Democrats.



Um, did you notice that the color map you used included data from Puerto Rico?

When did Puerto Rico become a state?
 
And you know we have shown you that the blue cities in those red states driving the murder rates...you dope....
