Democrats know how to fix the crime problems

Blue cities and states have it figured out. Defunding the Police was the first move.
Because of this, and tying the hands of police, many have quit or moved.
Less Police, less people arrested.

The next brilliant move was downgrading felonies, to misdemeanors.

Then some states, like California made another brilliant move
by not arresting people for stealing under 950.00 in merchandise.

All these things will in turn, make crime rate statistics look much better.
People in office will get many kudos, and even get re-elected due to
their hard work decreasing crime.

I'm sure there are some other similar brilliant moves that I forgot, but
at least we can all breathe a little easier, knowing that our leaders
are working hard to reduce crime.

When California had their primary a couple of months ago, the voters of San Francisco passed a proposition giving law enforcement their permission to police the streets and arrest law breakers, effective immediately, yet it seems as though the city council voted it down since it's not being done.

@NativePortlander1970 If the city council is the problem, time to vote them out of office.

@soar2newhighs Definitely, however it's the same in all other blue cities and states.

@NativePortlander1970 If as in your post you said the voters of SF made their positions known, if they also had the chance to vote out the city council, they should have. If not there’s the next time.
And you are correct; it’s the same in many blue cities. That said, there is a responsibility of the residents of those cities to vote these city council members out of office.

@soar2newhighs I heard several got primaried out, but they still hold their positions on the council until January, their refusal to enact the new law could be revenge.

@NativePortlander1970 City councils wield power of their city Mayor.
So again, the power over the city council is at the voting booth, and if the residents want change they have the power to effect it.
One more thing: the DAs, they too might need to be voted out of office.

@soar2newhighs Exactly

@NativePortlander1970 I espoused something, and tomorrow in NY there will be a primary and that theory will be tested .

@NativePortlander1970 Tough new laws that are not upheld, it's the progressive way. 😵‍💫
