According to a study by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), murder rates are skyrocketing in 12 U.S. cities run by Democrats. Nationwide, the murder rate has hit a 26-year high.
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund study concluded that anti-police rhetoric from the Democratic Party, police budget cuts and reductions in policing such as stops and arrests in Democrat-run cities, lack of criminal prosecutions by far-left prosecutors, and large numbers of police retirements brought on by morale problems are all linked to rising murder rates in these cities.
