it's' funny to see how you devolve when faced with incontrovertible facts

"incontrovertible facts"????? You guys are spinning because what's going on in democrat run cities like Philadelphia reflects so poorly on your ideology.

Since you posted a map, I'll post two very similar maps. One is murders and the other is voting by county. Notice any patterns?

homicide rates are 40% higher in red states than in blue states

Why aren't the respective states doing more to help their cities? Are they too busy stealing their funding to build women's volleyball arenas?

Police departments and district attorneys are local, not state or federal. Should the state of PA step in and send in State Troopers to take over Philadelphia's streets? A good case could be made for that. The state of PA is in the process of impeaching the Philadelphia DA which is a step in the right direction that democrats oppose..

And your ilk ignores State Data, the op started this thread blaming Dems for crimes when crime is a larger problem in R states. Or does crime not count in R states only Dem cities?

Because you're talking about empty areas

Rate per 100,000 is a garbage metric In a country of hundreds of millions

If the cities can't handle their sh!t, then hell yes, you go up the chain.

Whether going up the chain of responsibility/command is the same as going up the chain of competence is a separate debate.

SF DA got sent on his ass too.

Free love is over; we're going to see a major backlash against crime in the coming years. Then it'll go way too far, too many PD extrajudicial skullcrushings on tiktok, horror ensues. We reduce the reins a bit, defund things, and then here we are again. I love cycles. Good times.

Probably do better about attacking the root causes of poverty, slovenliness, meth slurping, etc. And putting half of the population on UBI would actually make the problem worse.
