Los Angeles Reaches 300 Homicides in Record Pace

Remarkable! There is no mention of police cuts and anti-police riots in the news story of LA's record homicide rate (Fox News). 

Following the riots and demands to “defund the police,” the city government cut the police budget by $150 million (LA Magazine).  LA's Leftist city government is obscenely stupid to reduce spending on public safety.

"Los Angeles has now crossed 300 homicides for the first time in over a decade (2009), and the year isn’t over yet.
297 going into weekend, now 4 more.
Homicides up 25% vs 2019.
Shootings up 32% vs 2019.
LAPD’s elite Robbery/Homicide division now being downsized (Bill Melugin -- Twitter)."

Meanwhile in Oregon -- acting on the far more serious law-enforcement problem of Thanksgiving Day... .

Oregon's governor Kate Brown wants residents to call the police on their neighbors over violations of the state’s latest coronavirus shutdown, which includes a six-person limit on in-home gatherings.

The temporary “freeze,” which went into effect Wednesday, restricts indoor at-home and social gatherings to six people from no more than two households, with no exceptions for Thanksgiving dinner get-togethers.  (Washington Times)

Report your neighbor to the Gauleiter.
