the facts demand that you change. Leftists just don’t want to even acknowledge the bad effects of their policies.
To quote MacBeth: “Out, damned spot!. … Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?”
Like Lady MacBeth, Democrats are now wandering dazedly around the terrible hellscape they created by their actions, muttering. They happily did what Leftism demanded, but they are now amazed that, “the old man [would] have had so much blood in him.”
Why, then, is Soares one of the few pragmatic voices from this side of the political spectrum willing to speak out? For most black leaders, publicly discussing crime statistics, community norms, and the need to rein in recent reforms is still politically destructive. Indeed, among the influential elite, as well as the ideologically committed on the left, there remains a great reluctance to admit what everyday citizens know: that policing, prosecution, and incarceration are integral to public safety.
…Meantime, overwhelming evidence suggests that law enforcement reduces crime. A 2022 study found that each additional police officer abates about 0.1 homicides, and the effect is twice as strong for blacks as for whites.
LESSON: Don’t look to Democrats to keep you safe! They will sell you out in a heartbeat for the shiny bauble of self-aggrandizement laced with political correctness…
