Our Cities are dying and democrats encourage it
Law enforcement officers have made nearly 1,500 arrests, including 90 homicide arrests, and charged 207 individuals with federal crimes across 9 major U.S. cities since the Department of Justice (DOJ) rolled out Operation Legend in early July, according to a Wednesday statement from Attorney General William Barr.
The DOJ defines Operation Legend as “a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative across all federal law enforcement agencies working in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight the sudden surge of violent crime” in a July 8 news release.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has also seized nearly 400 firearms in this time period as well. Nearly half of the federal charges levied have been for federal gun crime offenses thus far.
More than 1,000 federal law enforcement officers have been dispatched to Operation Legend cities, and $78.5 million has been made available to local and state law enforcement partners in the form of grants and other funds. These funds can be used to hire more police officers and prosecutors, or to invest in better technologies and methods to help crack more cases, Barr said in a press conference in Kansas City, Missouri.
