“#Liberals learn about violence the hard way<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Liberal leaders across the country are learning the tragic price of being soft on crime.<\/p>\n

In Atlanta, a Christmas weekend shooting spree put the total for the year there at 155 murders, the most since 1998. Among the fatalities: a 7-year-old and a 16-year-old, both girls, both black.<\/p>\n

Yet Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, whom Joe Biden reportedly considered for a Cabinet post, is at a loss for what to do: \u201cIf there are solutions that we have not explored and enacted, I welcome the suggestions,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Of course <\/em>there are \u201csolutions.\u201d But first, as they say, you have to admit the problem. <\/p>\n

For much of 2020, particularly after the death of George Floyd, the left couldn\u2019t stop demonizing cops. Anti-cop protests across the nation dragged on day after day. Activists launched a #DefundThePolice movement that misguided and demagogic pols embraced, even as majorities of blacks and Hispanics opposed it. <\/p>\n

At least some are beginning to get it: In Atlanta, city council member Howard Shook blamed the spike in violence on \u201cthe steady outflow of our officers.\u201d In Minneapolis \u2014 where Floyd died and where violent crimes have soared to 5,164 this year, from 4,097 in 2019, Fox reports<\/a> \u2014 city officials who once called for defunding and dismantling the police are backpedaling.<\/p>\n

\u201d \u2018Defund\u2019 is not the framework the council has ever chosen,\u201d insisted Minneapolis city council members Steve Fletcher and Phillipe Cunningham. Yet both were among nine members who app<\/a>eared with a \u201cDefund Police\u201d sign in June and vowed to dismantle the department.<\/p>\n

\u201cDismantle does not mean dismantle into nothing,\u201d Cunningham now says.<\/p>\n

There is no secret to controlling the violence: Stop demonizing cops. Give them sufficient resources. Don\u2019t free violent criminals. Prosecute<\/em> low-level crimes. <\/p>\n

New York showed it can be done: Murders fell nearly 90 percent from the early \u201990s to recent years, before heading up in 2020. Mayors like Bottoms (and Bill de Blasio) don\u2019t need suggestions; all they need to do is heed the lessons of history.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
