The stats are glaring, and the solution is obvious.

• A Washington Post poll shows Black residents are twice as concerned about crime as White residents.

• DC’s homicide rate is higher than in any year since 2005, except during the 2020 crime spike.

• Criminologists agree: “Increasing police presence prevents homicides.”

• Europe has twice as many police per capita as the U.S. and far lower crime rates.

Shellenberger says Democrats know the solution but won’t use it:

“Obviously the Democrats know how to prevent crime. They just don’t want to.”

And Trump’s crackdown? Not a stunt — a strategy:

“It’s to win over the black vote… the black community suffers the highest rates of homicide.”
