I didn't say
rates,
idiot. I said
total murders
, which Chicago led in 2024 with
573
murders.

According to The Washington Post, Baltimore’s success story was a result of nontraditional solutions. City and state leaders have touted community support systems, gun violence reduction programs, youth engagement initiatives, and increased funding for law enforcement. An “all-of-the-above approach to public safety,” Moore calls it.
The federal government helped enormously. DC funded innovative programs that support local law enforcement, combat violent crime, provide victims with resources, and more. Under the Biden administration, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act — which included funds intended to combat the pandemic-era jump in violent crime — and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — which directed $250 million toward community-based violence prevention.
Enter
Donald Trump
for his Oval Office encore. He
has slashed funds for the very programs that are working to restore public order. In April, the Department of Justice canceled $820 million in grants supporting more than 550 organizations across the country directed at reducing crime and promoting public safety.
Trump really has no interest in ending crime as the above shows.
He is doing this dog and pony show as a guise to send in troops into, "blue" cities to go after the harmless migrants which are actually productive members of society by being hard workers.
