In Major Cities, Don’t Bother To Call 911 Last week, ten Democratic Socialists of America #DSA members won primaries for #Congress or the state legislature in #NewYork. Most called for ABOLISHING #ICE and many for **"defunding the #police."** That's become a major theme of the Democratic Socialists who are winning elections in major cities. Nearly EVERY major city has a #police officer SHORTAGE. Most budget cuts made at the height of the "defund the police" movement have been restored, but over 70% of cities report police recruitment and retention is harder even with big signing bonuses. Los Angeles is at a 30-year low in uniformed officers and Washington D.C. is at a 50-year low. Big causes are BURNOUT, BUREAUCRACY, and the DEMORALIZATION of officers who are tired of attacks on their work on behalf of AMERICANs. The good news is that #crime rates are stable or trending down in many places. But that may not last. Response times are down, some cities have curtailed services and there’s evidence a growing number of people **no longer report crimes believing that nothing will be done** This APATHY may also explain why fewer Americans are VOTING in local elections. In #NewYorkCity #NYC, **less than 10% of the 5.36 MILLION registered voters VOTED last Tuesday** In big cities, **low voter turnout hands #elections to dangerous #radicals** https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/in-major-cities-dont-bother-to-call-911/
