U.S. cities that virtue signaled by defunding their police departments are seeing record crime levels, forcing many city leaders to rethink their basic levels of intelligence.

Here's what has happened in a few cities that voted to slash police budgets:

Homicide grew by 44% in New York, which had 1,531 shootings and 462 murders in 2020.
Homicides also increased 36% in L.A. to 350, leading the police chief to say "a decade of progress" has been erased.
Minneapolis, the center of the "Defund the Police" movement, saw a 46% increase in murders.
Oakland, California has seen a staggering 314% increase in homicides.
Portland, Oregon has seen murders triple.
Austin, Texas has had a 26% increase in aggravated assault reports.
Chicago saw a 65% increase in homicides from June 2020 to February 2021, despite arrests dropping 53%.
Philadelphia hit a 30-year-high with homicides in 2020, with 499 people murdered.
Even smaller cities like Louisville, Kentucky had a record high of 173 murders and is on track to surpass that this year.
The New York Times reported that many such cities are now expanding their police budgets to try to deal with these outcomes that absolutely no one could have seen coming.

ZeroHedge ran a creepy story yesterday headlined, “"What Are We Doing?" Ana Kasparian Flips Out After Suspects In Murder, Dismemberment Case Released In New York.” Yep. It’s just as demonic as it sounds. It’s the latest, and worst, squatter story yet, involving meat cleavers, body parts, so much blood officials condemned the home, and all that with zero bail required from the promptly-released criminals.

Another liberal mugged by reality. "WAKE UP WHITE PEOPLE!!!" (back when Stern was good 30 years ago)

Current academy classes are completing at less than half the rate of attrition. And of those, more than half intend to leave in less than 3 years.

This is one of the very largest departments in the nation, and the one that all eyes are on. And it’s failing.

Good job Democrats and their mouth breathing voters. You sure showed us.

Just wait until LA states filling these positions with illegals. Hello 3rd world style protection rackets and extortion traffic stops.

This is the fault of our judicial system.

The criminal is at fault too, but there was no opportunity with a functioning judicial system.

The "machine gun" was a Glock with a switch that effectively turns it into a fully auto pistol. This switch is illegal for anyone to possess. The judge that tuned this criminal loose without bail shout be removed.

Wow. Ever driven in Mexico? Be prepared to pay the cop directly for any traffic violations.
