1. Homicide and DV are up across the country across all jurisdictions - cities with GOP mayors, cities with Dem mayors, cities with tough on crime prosecutors, and cities with reform prosecutors (which suggests it isn't caused by local reforms)

2. Bail reform is certainly not the cause
a) See above
b) Cuomo rolled bail reform largely back almost immediately after it passed

3. NYPD tried to make this argument for months until THEIR OWN DATA proved it WAS NOT TRUE
4. Bail reform also isn't problematic nationally

5. Bail reform did not increase crime in New Jersey, DC, Philadelphia, Kentucky or really anywhere it has been tried....it did not increase failure to appear tickets, it did not increase recidivism....so please, stop saying things just to serve political purposes
Just to back the rest of this up....here are cities with GOP mayors who have had the same increases in homicide (it is not actually an increase in violent crime...overall violent crime is DOWN not UP)
Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Tulsa, Fresno, Mesa, Virginia Beach....more coming

Colorado Springs, Omaha, Miami, Bakersfield, Aurora, Lexington, Stockton, Lubbock, Glendale, Hialeah, North Las Vegas, San Bernadino
My point is not that it is the GOP's fault, rather that it is universal (and not caused by single-reforms in particular places)

In fact, one of the few areas where Democrats and Republicans have been able to work together to move meaningful reforms forward has been the area of criminal justice....why would you want to imperil that during these polarized times? Boggles the mind!
