'Staggering' surge in violent carjackings continues across Minneapolis
Such attacks were up 537% compared with last November, worrying residents.
I don't know what kind of logical, rational thinking person could have imagined this. Now, I won't link this to the controversial "defund the police" slogan that we've all discussed in numerous ways. I will link this solely to one undeniable fact. When you demonize law enforcement and minimalize or excuse criminal conduct all you get is emboldened criminals. Having done my job for 20+ years I can tell you a few things with certainty. Most criminals are not what you'd consider classically intelligent. But many of them are experts at reading the wind and spotting weakness, whether that be individual or societal. In Los Angels there are plans to basically decriminalize the juvenile justice system (search Measure J). The street gangs have already laid plans to shift all heavy crimes, such as murder, to juvenile offenders. The current zeitgeist is a perfect storm of emboldening criminal behavior and your average citizen is going to pay the price for it.
