Tishaura Jones has a history of embracing regressive political perspectives. Among the most absurd is the notion that her city's police department should be partially defunded. Jones reportedly prefers money earmarked for law enforcement to be reallocated to mental health and drug rehabilitation services.
Meanwhile, the anti-cop sentiment exasperated by the far-left has coincided with a massive increase in violent crime in the nation's predominantly black urban centers [source].
According to foxnews.com, the city's 2020 murder rate "hit a 50-year high."
The police chief placed the blame on coronavirus and civil unrest.
Odd. If the coronavirus pandemic were responsible for the city's increased murder rate, we would expect the murder rate to also be pandemic. It isn't. Rather, homicides rates seem to be increasing in black-majority cities governed by regressive Democrats who want to decrease law enforcement.
Jones, who has touted herself as a progressive, has said she would restructure the police department and reallocate money to substance abuse and mental health.
"I can promise you this, I can promise you this. I'll get up every day, day in day out, and I will work for you," said Jones. "I believe St. Louis's brightest days are ahead of us and not behind us."
