The claim that "administration does not have their backs" is total BS. Administration is full of former officers and we have all heard about the famous "Blue Wall". The problem is that street officers feel that if the administration does not support them 100% no matter how bad they messed up then that counts as "not having their back".
But the increase in crime is not all due to police just sitting on their hands. Police need to cooperation of citizens to solve crimes. They rarely solve crime without a witness or some sort of cooperation from private citizens. When things go bad like they did in Baltimore then citizens stop talking to police at all. they don't even want to come forward as a witness because they don't trust the police.
It is disgusting that police refused to do their jobs because people were upset over a person dying in their custody, but that is not the only cause for the spike in crime.
