Police defunded: Major cities feeling the loss of police funding as murders, other crimes soar

Cities in parts of the U.S. that slashed their police department funding last year, in part as a result of police-involved shootings, have seen an uptick in certain crimes over the past year, according to data analyzed by Fox News.

"In Portland, records show that murders more than tripled year-over-year.

Police statistics from July 2020, when the city’s budget cuts were made, and this past February -- the most recent data available -- show homicides skyrocketed 270.6% compared to the same time last year.

There were 63 homicide offenses reported from July 2020 through Feb. 2021, but only 17 recorded from July 2019 through Feb. 2020, police data show.

In the first two months of 2021 alone, Portland reported 17 murders -- a 1,600% increase from the single murder reported during the first two months of 2020, Portland Police Bureau statistics show."

Turns out defunding the police leads to an increase in murder, who would've thought? lol.

correlation, not causation, like link me a peer-reviewed analysis or something and then we can talk.
