The US saw significant crime rise across major cities in 2020. And it's not letting up
Major American cities saw a 33% increase in homicides last year as a pandemic swept across the country, millions of people joined protests against racial injustice and police brutality, and the economy collapsed under the weight of the pandemic — a crime surge that has continued into the first quarter of this year.
Sixty-three of the 66 largest police jurisdictions saw increases in at least one category of violent crimes in 2020, which include homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, according to a report produced by the Major Cities Chiefs Association. Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Raleigh, North Carolina, did not report increases in any of the violent crime categories.
It's nearly impossible to attribute any year-to-year change in violent crime statistics to any single factor, and homicides and shootings are an intensely local phenomenon that can spike for dozens of reasons. But the increase in homicide rates across the country is both historic and far-reaching, as were the pandemic and social movements that touched every part of society last year....

This is true, but I really feel for the people who didn't vote for the idiots and are in cities that are being destroyed.
It can happen anywhere. Conservative mayors and governors will be thrown out next election IF the ballot box isn't somehow corrected; otherwise elections will continue to be stolen.

IMO....
Any cop that still works in a leftist run American city is on his/her own. There are plenty of warning signs of what awaits them if they choose to continue to work in these cities
