The city allowed protestors to occupy six blocks from June 8 to July 1 and declare the territory an “autonomous zone” during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protests (CHOP), while demanding police funding be cut by 50%. In the end, four shootings in CHOP left two people dead, contributing to a 74% increase in 2020 murders. The protesters’ demands weren’t completely met, but the police department’s budget was slashed by 18% and the chief of police resigned.

    1. The blood is on the hands of those who kill. Are you claiming that only one political party kills people? I am certain you are wrong.

        1. I think that has always been the case. Democrats = KKK lynching Republicans. It has ALWAYS been the demcrats that are violent

  1. Did anyone really think the crime rate would go down by crippling the police? Sometimes I wonder what the IQ divide is between Left and Right!
