1. There is a full-court press by the Liberal media to deny that there is a marked increase in murders and in shooting since this President encouraged the thugs in Ferguson to "stay the course.'

2. "The latest effort is a report by the Brennan Center for Justice, which the press has hailed ecstatically as a refutation of what I and others have dubbed the “Ferguson effect”—the phenomenon of officers backing off of proactive policing and thereby emboldening criminals. In fact, the report confirms the Ferguson effect, while also showing how clueless the media are about crime and policing."

3. Just so you recognize the players, the ultra-Liberal 'Brennan Center for Justice' is named for a Supreme Court Justice infamous for his efforts to dismember, incapacitate, and dissolve the United States Constitution.
In his 1985 Georgetown speech, Brennan supported the “transformative purpose” of the Constitution, in which he argued for an “aspiration to social justice, brotherhood, and human dignity…”
a. " Brennan falls back on the idea that moderns should not be bound by “a world that is dead and gone.” Of course, there are lots of laws on the books today by folks dead and gone: Social Security laws, or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Sixteenth Amendment imposing an income tax, and all nine justices who participated in Roe v. Wade are now dead. Would Brennan suggest ignoring any of these….or does he simply wish to allow judges to pick and choose which laws written by dead people we are to be bound by? No, this ‘transformative’ view would simply allow justices to erase parts of the Constitution."

4. "The Brennan Center researchers gathered homicide data from 25 of the nation’s 30 largest cities for the period January 1, 2015, to October 1, 2015. ...The researchers then tried to estimate what 2015’s full-year homicide numbers ....compared with the similar period in 2014.
The resulting projected increase for homicides in 2015 in those 25 cities is 11 percent.
(By point of comparison, the FiveThirtyEight data blog looked at the 60 largest cities and found a 16 percent increase in homicides by September 2015. On Monday, the Brennan Center revised its own estimate of the 2015 murder increase to 14.6 percent.)
An 11 percent one-year increase in any crime category is massive;...."

5. This massive increase in murders is but one more of the dozens of detrimental results of the malevolent regime of Barack Hussein Obama.
