Tornado Alley (PROG)

rooster, Just more right-wing misinformation from you. The effort to blame BLM for the spike
in murders doesn't fly with the facts. The article is terribly biased. E.g. early it says

"Of course what else did anyone expect to happen"
Except what you say you expected didn't happen for the reasons you expected them to.

"New analysis of FBI data revealed the devastating impact that defunding the police has had on black Americans who experienced a 32 percent spike in murder from 2019 to 2020 after the death of George Floyd “spurred an outpouring of contempt against the pillars of law and order.”"

which clearly suggests the murder spike was experienced only by black communities. In fact it was nationwide.

And guess, outside of the most populous states where you'd expect the spick to be highest, guess who won the president vote in 2021 in Montana, S Dakota and Kentucky. Yep. your hero. Biden won Delaware the other of the top four. See 2. here .. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/10/27/what-we-know-about-the-increase-in-u-s-murders-in-2020/ .

The Ferguson Effect is also not as simple as your article assumes. See

Exploring the Ferguson Effect: Myth or Material Fact?

The conclusion: when the police are being scrutinized, evidence suggests that crime rises. Whether or not that is the result of less aggressive policing is less settled and in fact appears not to be the case. Taken together, the most recent, sound evidence, implies that when communities lose faith in their police officers, they not only stop reporting violations of the law but they may also simply stop following it. In short, it’s not that the Ferguson Effect does not exist. It’s just that the underlying causes of the effect may be different than what its supporters originally thought.

Then there is the Heather Watson or your article

"St. Louis, MO Police Chief Sam Dotson coined the term “Ferguson Effect” in the wake of Brown’s death and it gained widespread notice when Heather Mac Donald, Meyer’s colleague from the Manhattan Institute, penned an op-ed about the Black Lives Matter movement’s claims cops were racist and homicidal that “produced virulent hostility in the streets.”"

Surprise

She is known for her pro-police views[9] and her opposition to criminal justice reform,[10] as expressed in her book The War on Cops and columns such as "The Myth of the Racist Cop"[11] and "The Myth of Systemic Police Racism."[12]
