Far-left Rep. and former bartender Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (Socialist-NY) doubled down on her call for defunding the nation's police. In a video this week, the anti-American congresswoman claimed that concerns about exploding crime rates across the country are "hysteria," in spite of crime statistics proving otherwise. But why let facts get the better of your feelings when you're an unintelligent leftist?
Large cities have seen an average surge in crime by more than 30 percent.
“The FBI does not release full statistics until September, but homicide rates in large cities were up more than 30 percent on average last year, and up another 24 percent for the beginning of this year,” The New York Times, reported, adding that “in the aftermath [of George Floyd’s death], some criminologists attributed the spike in homicides to hesitancy among residents to turn to the police for help.”
Ocasio-Cortez downplayed the rise in crime, claiming that news headlines were “hysteria.”

Ocasio-Cortez agrees with far-left Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who said during the video event that the police should be defunded. Idiots like Bowman and AOC base these feelings on outliers like George Floyd's death by former Officer Derek Chauvin. They fail to consider the facts that clearly show that Blacks disproportionately commit more violent crimes than any other demographic in the U.S. and unarmed Blacks are killed by police far less than Whites--less than 20 per year out of the millions of police interactions that happen annually.
But the left never lets the facts get in the way of their feelings.
“I agree with Representative Bowman," AOC said through her nose, "that I do believe that we need to reallocate resources away [like her Green New Deal] and that a big, you know, major causes of this — and by the way, I also think it’s important context because we hear on the news and media, they perpetuate this idea of crime wave, crime wave, crime wave, right? And so this idea that a lot of us are panicked thinking that we are at some unprecedented level that we’ve never seen before.”
Bowman is facing controversy over his repeated calls to defund the police after The New York Post reported this weekend that he requested special police protection at his home in New York earlier this year. It's the do as I say, not as I do hypocrisy you frequently hear from the left.
“About a week after the Jan. 6th incident at the Capitol, we received a request from the Congressman’s office for increased police presence at his residence,” Yonkers PD Detective Lt. Dean Politopoulos told the New York Post. “In response, our Intelligence Unit was notified of the request and the local precinct instituted what is called a directed patrol at the Congressman’s home for the next two weeks.”
Politopoulos reportedly said that nothing unusual had been detected in Bowman’s neighborhood for years. The report noted that the day after the January 6 riot, Bowman told a radio host that he had been “safe pretty much throughout the event.”
A spokeswoman for Bowman claimed that the police were called because Bowman “received threats,” although she did not elaborate on the “threats,” and she reportedly ducked questions about Bowman’s hypocrisy given his repeated support for defunding the police.

| Officer Kevin Apple |
Shawna Rhae Cash, 22, and Elijah Anadoloza Sr., 18, were charged with capital murder and attempted capital murder and booked into the Benton County jail hours after they allegedly peeled out of a White Oaks, Arkansas, convenience store parking lot, leaving the officer dead, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The suspects were finally caught in Bella Vista, approximately 100 miles north on the border with Missouri.
Pea Ridge Police Officer Kevin Apple, a 23-year law enforcement veteran, and his partner Officer Brian Stamps were attempting to speak with the driver of the parked Jeep when one of the suspects rammed a patrol vehicle and struck Apple, FOX 16 in Little Rock reported. He died at the scene.
Apple and Stamps wanted to speak to the driver because the department was searching for a Jeep suspected to be linked to a property crime. It appears they found it and it cost the officer's life.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson ordered flags in the state to be flown at half-staff Saturday.
U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas tweeted that he was praying for Apple's family and friends "during this terrible tragedy. Our police officers risk their lives each day to protect us from violent crimes, and we must continue to support their efforts."

AOC, ever the leftist, disagrees.
