Biggest problems are shitty laws and failure to hold violent criminals accountable with long sentences. Certainly criminals fearing detection by the police had kept crime levels down. When you shrink police forces, demoralize them, burn them out through understaffing and then with media propaganda celebrate criminals and take every possible negative police story that would otherwise be a local or at best regional story and push it national, it emboldens the criminals and their activity at the same time the police de-police and stop proactivity. You then get what you are witnessing today. Nobody likes police corruption and police budgets are not what ills our fiscal policy. Liberalism is a deadly cancer.
Well it sure didn't help by taking away money.
