Somehow I doubt the veracity of the following statement. Liberal California Politicians Promise To Be Tough On Crime As Thefts, Shootings Increase
The cognitive dissonance of "Liberal California politician" and "tough on crime" in the same sentence if giving me a headache. Imagine how the politicians feel.
Crime in California has skyrocketed over the past two years, with homicides in San Francisco jumping 15% in 2021 compared to 2020, and over 50% compared to 2019. Statewide, homicides, property crime, violent crime and larcenies have all risen since before the pandemic.
Of course San Francisco mayor London Breed cut SFPD and other enforcement agencies by $120 million in 2020. Now she says she wants to get tough on crime.
Politicians will really say anything that they think will get them reelected, won't they.
Retail thefts in particular have plagued the state, most notably in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where organized gangs of criminals will break into and loot storefronts of their merchandise.
In Los Angeles, city councilmembers have begun redirecting funds from their districts to pay for police overtime in a bid to quell the rising crime, The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. And in both the figurative and literal senses, Californians are getting mugged.
