With murder soaring across America, some in the liberal media have come to a belated conclusion: Cops stop crime.
Trendy-left site Vox has run countless anti-police articles in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death but just shared senior correspondent German Lopez’s alert that “police should be part of the solution” now that homicides jumped 30 percent last year, with big cities seeing even greater spikes.
Lopez explains: “There is solid evidence that more police officers and certain policing strategies reduce crime and violence. In a recent survey of criminal-justice experts, a majority said increasing police budgets would improve public safety.”
What? Targeted policing of gangs and hot spot policing works? Who knew?!
