California is Experiencing a Crime ‘Tsunami’: Sacramento DA
California is experiencing a wave of crime despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claims of a decrease during the past three decades, officials say.
“You’ve got violent crime off the charts,” Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert told The Epoch Times. “You’ve got this tsunami of things that are happening. Violent crime, illegal guns, [and] rampant theft.”
On July 21 in Los Angeles, when asked if state policies are making crime worse, Newsom denied the state is seeing a rise in crime.
“The evidence doesn’t back it up. Last three decades we’ve actually seen a significant decline in crime in the state,” Newsom said.
But... Those pesky numbers:
(PPIC is Public Policy Institute of California)
Data provided by PPIC shows that in 2020, Los Angeles reported a 40 percent homicide increase in comparison to 2019; Oakland reported a 36 percent increase. San Francisco and San Diego both witnessed increases from 41 to 48 percent and 50 percent to 55 percent, respectively.
More at the site - links to cooroborating data and source materials etc... Not only is crime up, they are releasing a lot of bad people early for "good behavior". Revolving door policy. Hopefully, California will get some adults in the room soon. Larry Elder looks great as a Governor.
