St. Louis' murder rate, already highest in US, soared last year; mayor vows to defund the police

.....In St. Louis, Mo., the worst-in-country murder rate is at a 50-year high, the police department has nearly 100 unfilled jobs, and the mayor wants to defund the department and shut down a city jail.

.....In 1990s New York City, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani did the opposite, hiring more police, stepping up enforcement and locking away more felons – dramatically cleaning up crime in the Big Apple.

It is almost hard to believe that the good folks of St Louis would vote for this Democratic Party leftist madness. But they not only vote for it in this city, but many other cities across America.

These voters who must be misinformed to say the least, are basically voting for their own neighborhood's decline and possible demise.

They really need to smarten up, and vote for Rudy Giuliani types with a proven track record who have plans that would work to bring back to life these cities now filled with crime and decay from decades of Democratic Party rule.
