The Ferguson Effect

Post by Bryce » Sun Jun 05, 2016 7:40 pm

From The AP:
CHICAGO (AP) -- Violent crimes - from homicides and rapes to robberies - have been on the rise in many major U.S. cities, yet experts can't point to a single reason why and the jump isn't enough to suggest there's a trend.

Still, it is stumping law enforcement officials, who are seeking a way to combat the problem.

Experts are stumped? I'm not. It's the "Ferguson Effect".


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

It's not enough to be a trend... Just a rise... To pin it on that is irresponsible especially given the fact that patrols and such have not markedly decreased nationwide...
