Skyrocketing Crime Spike Causes Woke Cities That Defunded Their Police to Re-Fund Them
Who could gave guessed that defunding the police would cause crime to skyrocket?

Anyone with common sense, obviously. But, woke cities run by liberals learned the hard way as my colleague Stephen Kruiser wrote on June 7. According to a report from Fox Business, cities including New York City, Oakland, Baltimore, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles are “planning to reinstate tens of millions for the construction of new police precincts, increase police department budgets, among other plans to bankroll more efforts to confront the uptick in crime.”

I would not assume anything until the funds are spent... those social workers driving Escalades don’t come cheap

Not an experiment, it is a strategy and they are far from done.

I wish somebody would have made a "Beau Geste" type movie about one of the troubled cities.

Beau Geste is a movie about a French Foreign Legion unit abandoned in a fort, surrounded by hostiles, with terrible leadership. Every night they think about the attacks then next day are sure to bring and they wonder if they'll survive. A lot of deep, sensitive, interpersonal interactions go on, as well as a lot of gun play during the day time attacks.

The modern version would have the police officers, abandoned by their city leaders, holed up in their precincts, safe durint the day, but wondering what new terrors each night will bring. Their would of course be a lot of soul searching drama as well as a lot of action and fireworks (literally) during the night time "mostly peaceful protests".

A similar premise was Assault On Precinct 13

Duh! Lets throw them under the bus, then see if we can hire new officers. That'll work great!

Machine gun emplacements on the precincts...
Well the terribly anti-gun (now) New York Times newspaper, during the Civil War mounted Gatling guns on their roof in case the draft protesters came their way. Yep, classic case of "guns for me but not for thee".
