Murders in Los Angeles County have spiked nearly 200% so far this year
compared to the same time in 2020, with at least one official blaming the
"defund the police" movement and progressive law enforcement officials.
There were 60 people murdered in L.A. County as of Feb. 28 – a 186% jump
from the 21 killings reported during the same period in 2020, the Los
Angeles Sheriff’s Department told Fox News in a segment that aired
Thursday.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told Fox News criminals are
emboldened by District Attorney George Gascón's progressive policies and
stressed that people must understand that such elections will have
consequences.
"They need to really pick and choose very carefully.because for them it’s
very easy to say, ‘Oh yeah, all cops are bad,’ and, ‘Let’s reform and
defund the police,'" Villanueva said. "Yet they’re the very first ones to
pick up the 911 when someone’s crawling over their back gate trying to get
into their house."

But University of Southern California Law Professor Jody Armour said
police should examine the impact of their own behavior on crime trends and
their reputation.
"That reservoir of resentment is actually, in and of itself, also a driver
of crime," Armour told Fox News. "Until that’s healed, we’re really not
going to get at the spiraling crime problem."
Armour said funds should be reallocated to other agencies to handle public
issues, such as homelessness.

"And then this leaner, meaner law enforcement can focus its attention on
solving violent and serious crimes," he said.
