GOP lawmakers blame rising murder rates on defunding of police departments
By Josh Israel -June 24, 2021 5:24 PM
They say increased gun sales have nothing to do with it. Criminologists disagree.
House Republicans are claiming a rise in homicides is the result of efforts to cut police budgets, despite a lack of evidence, as they reject criminologists' assessments that the increased number of people purchasing guns is a factor.
"Democrat cities across the country have sought to defund the police for over a year. And now they're surprised by a Crime Crisis?" tweeted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday. "President Biden's solution is to blame guns and lawful gun owners instead of the Left's open embrace of the Defund the Police movement."
"Today, Biden blamed guns and lawful gun owners as the reason behind the massive crime crisis across the U.S., instead of the Democrat-run cities that have opted to defund the police," said Oklahoma Rep. Stephanie Bice. "Instead of more gun control, we must #BackTheBlue and end this #BidenCrimeCrisis."

(34,195 posts)The story said murder rates are higher due to the defund the police movement.
They didn't give any statistics or reason for their statement.
This was on the local Albuquerque news ABC.
