Less police has without doubt proven to cause an increase in crime.
You're being very sensationalist, you should write headlines for The Sun
The burst of activity on this thread is because you said BLM want to create Lawlessness, because of what Minneapolis counsillors want to do. And less Police causes more crime.
In theory that may be correct, that less Police = more crime. But as the article said earlier, if done properly it doesn't. Minneapolis want to follow Camden in New Jersey, which was one of the most dangerous cities, and now is not. They didn't cut policing, they redirected funds so as to get the right people in the right areas.
Getting trained people into the right area's, some of which the police go into with no training causing further damage, results in Police cuts, but cuts crime.
Now I don't know, I have only read the facts on the articles posted. And it would seem, in the one case where it's been trialed, redirecting some police money, into area's where more trained people can help, has worked.
So no, there is no Lawlessnes, in fact people are being more lawful, and the crime rate has not gone up with less police, it's gone down.
