CNN Segment Implodes Over “Ferguson Effect” Crime Data, Get Fact Checked By Their Own Reporting
By Red Voice Media / October 18, 2024


A heated discussion unfolded during a CNN segment where Ryan Girdusky, founder of the 1776 Project PAC, argued that the “Ferguson effect” and reduced police presence in communities are leading to increases in violent crime.

The term “Ferguson effect” was first coined by St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson in 2014 after the police-involved shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

The hypothesis suggests that a decline in police activity results in a surge in violent crime.



Girdusky linked this phenomenon to the aftermath of the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests and riots that occurred in 2020, stating that these events contributed to a significant rise in black male deaths.

"CNN host Abby Phillips interrupted Girdusky, asserting, “Ryan, hold on, hold on. Ryan, we got to stop you there because you’re literally making a connection out of your own conjecture. You cannot just do that.”

Why not?  The liberal media exists because they do it all the time.
