There’s a lot of literature, some of which is touched on in the link I shared. In general: 1. Crime rarely surges so dramatically as it has in the last 6 years. Note that before 2014, crime had been trending down consistently for decades. 2. Homicides spiked all over the country following major BLM protests. 3. The counties with the largest BLM activity saw the largest decreases in proactive policing and commensurate increases in homicides. How much more evidence is required (and how many additional thousands need to die) before we get folks on board to reverse these trends?
