These cities have also refused to take reasonable measures to try to stop the violence and destruction.

Here’s the DOJ’s criteria for their determinations, such as banning Police from doing their jobs, withdrawing Police, and defunding Police.

New York City:

July and August 2020 saw shootings increase 177% and 166% respectively.

$1 BILLION was defunded from NYPD’s budget

NYC canceled new Police recruiting class & cut spending

*NYC transferred SCHOOL SAFETY out of the NYPD*

Keep an eye on that 👆

Obama had a program to keep school students from being reported to police, which resulted in the Parkland shooting.

Manhattan and Brooklyn District Attorneys, who are supposed to be pro law enforcement, have not been prosecuting protest-related charges.

Both Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio have “forcefully rejected law enforcement support.”

Portland:

100 straight nights of rioting

Rioters attacked numerous Police

Shootings increased 140% June & July 2020 over 2019

Portland City Council defunded $15 Million from Police

Cut 84 positions incl the Gun Violence Reduction Team!

Portland Mayor Wheeler rejected help

Seattle:

Allowed rioters to seize 6 blocks for abt a month (CHAZ & CHOP)

Police & Firemen were banned from these areas

Seattle Police abandoned their precinct

Crime in CHOP area increased 525% over last year

2 teens were shot & killed there

Both Mayor & Gov rejected help

Also Seattle. Just no words.
