Democrats downplay crime as they decline help from Trump
By: Pedro Rodriguez
The clock to protect families is ticking, Council Member of Frederick County, Maryland, Mason Carter, told the Washington Examiner, adding that blue states must adopt a "stronger presence" of federal law enforcement and stop the downplay of crime.
"[Complying with the Department of Homeland Security] is a great idea. It is appalling. It is in our best interest to protect our cities, our families, and our communities. A stronger presence of law enforcement is certainly needed," Carter told the Washington Examiner.
Carter is not the only elected official to advocate that the federal government intervene.
Earlier this month, Chicago Alderman Raymond Flores toldCBS News hehad two teenagers shot in my community this weekend alone.
"So when I hear my Democratic colleagues tell me to not worry, crime is down, Trump stays home in Washington, I have a real hard time accepting that," Flores added.
If those who are more in touch with the local community than a big-city mayor or governor call for help, the community seriously needs help.
However, instead of defending the constituents of those communities through compliance with federal law enforcement efforts, Democratic officials have refused to accept President Donald Trump's offer to fight crime, calling it "fascist" and "racist," as they reinforce the false claim that they have crime under control.
"We do not need occupiers," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said to a crowd of supporters earlier this week. "Stand up in the moment. So that a hundred years from now … they will know that you stood up to fascism, that you stood up to racism, that you stood up to folks who were trying to destroy your democracy," he added.
Last week, Scott said that under his leadership, Baltimore will "continue to see meaningful progress." Adjacently, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wrote on X that historically, "crime is down" in Chicago, adding that those who believe otherwise must be "confused."
Fortunately, not everyone believes their rhetoric.
Carter told the Washington Examiner, "I think we should go ahead and look at the data instead and see that it's actually false."
Under Scott and Johnson, Baltimore and Chicago have experienced exponentially higher violent crime statistics than other cities.
CHICAGO'S MURDER TOLL EXCEEDS IRAQ DEATH TOLL
While Baltimore and other Democratic cities continue to claim falsely that law enforcement efforts are "racist" or "fascist," states like Florida and Louisiana have intensified operations with federal law enforcement and have already seen crime rates reach record lows.
It is evident that senseless violence in blue states needs to be enforced and that acting in accordance with federal law enforcement reduces crime to an unforeseen level.

Mmmmm, no violent rhetoric there.....
Just emotionally charged words no doubt......
"we’re at war…you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary."
Senator Chris Murphy Two days ago.
We've been at war ever since Trump came down the escalator.
So calling Mitt Romney a fascist was what than?
Ahhh, there it is....
“Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR” (plus three helicopter emojis) -
Trump, six days ago.
Yeah, I feel that. But one event is not a trend. Factually, crime, generally, has been declining in Chicago for the past several years. There was a spike around COVID, but before and after that, the general trend is a decline. Crime is down. It’s not zero, but it’s not really zero anywhere.
Regardless, states and cities have the authority to deal with this. There is no absolute crime level that triggers federal troops deployment. If there were, it would have been more valid to deploy troops decades ago. All across the country, crime is generally down from levels of 30 years ago.
People Are Calling Out Trump's Reaction To Charlie Kirk's Assassination Vs. Melissa Hortman's
2 dead in MN and 2 critically injured by the same shooter who had a list of Democrats he intended to assassinate that night. A woman who got both sides of the aisle together to accomplish their political goals is out of the news cycle before the new grass needs cutting on her grave.
But the divider in chief can't wait to bestow medals posthumously on Mr. Kirk, the little hater and divider, a mouthpiece for white victimhood.
“…a mouthpiece for white victimhood.”
Only expounding upon initial approach offered up by Limbaugh. The beginning of the malignant media maelstrom.
According to ChatGPT, $667M of taxpayer money has been spent on “Community Violence Interrupters” in the last 5 years by the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago. This money is paid to non-profits who then spend it all on staff (ex-cons) and overheads. It’s nothing but a way for Democrats to buy votes and give away taxpayer money to favored groups and connected cronies.
In the last day alone we have had two separate stories of Brandon Johnson’s and JB Pritzker’s vaunted “anti violence workers” being arrested or sentenced for serious crimes. Who would have thought hiring ex cons to “keep peace” with their fellow criminals wouldn’t pan out? The entire concept is a complete hoax and an obscene waste of taxpayer money.
The extent of this grift is really extraordinary. It's beyond anything Tammany Hall could have imagined. This is how the Biden admin used the Inflation Reduction Act on a national scale. Fund "non-profits" run by partisan democrats who will reward other loyalists who need jobs, donate some back to the Democratic Party and keep everybody in the loop rich. Some trifling percentage gets spent on some project that bears some relation to the purported purpose of the non-profit or NGO, whose real purpose is to launder taxpayer money to Democrats and the party,
