De-Policing and Death | Gun Facts

This article makes broad strokes with a narrow data set. There are some good points made. But, I feel like it should have gone deeper into the subject matter. If I was a really cynical individual, I'd say those at the top of the Dem food chain deliberately target the poorer communities for the violence that ensued after the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"To quote one of the papers, “Gun violence increased to a greater extent in neighborhoods with high levels of poverty and minority populations.” Though the authors did not explore that statement more deeply, it aligns with demographics common to communities rife with street gangs and is compelling in and of itself."
Covid may have been a factor, but; "The second paper is extraordinary inasmuch as it looked at the timing of both the pandemic police pullback and the George Floyd riot pullbacks, and concluded that had pandemic pullbacks alone been responsible, the spike in homicides would have happened 10 weeks earlier. They did not. They rose almost in lockstep with civil disorder."
Both of the papers used to come to these conclusions are linked in the article.
But I'm still that cynical guy that thinks the top Dems knew exactly where most of the violence would likely occur, and ran with defunding anyway.
