Tired ass premise for two reasons, association is not causation and if there were GOP mayors in those city the police would have a freer hand for the use of deadly force.
There is nothing in GOP philosophy and governance that remotely suggests otherwise.
"New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Atlanta seem to be suffering the greatest degree of discontent in the country. All Democrat cities in Democrat states."
ForReal, Just so you know. Trump's claim that Democrat's are responsible for violent cities is bullshit.. Correlation is not cause.
Claim about violence in Democratic cities overreaches

Connecting violence and party not reasonable
All of which brings us to the core question: is it reasonable to connect the violence and partisanship?
In short: no.
"I don’t think there’s any data that would allow us to draw a causal conclusion here," said David Weisburd, executive director of the Center for Evidence Based Crime Policy at George Mason University. "Somehow arguing that Democrats cause crime or something of that sort just doesn’t fit the history of crime prevention in the U.S."
If you interpret the claim as referring to Democratic leadership, Weisburd notes President Bill Clinton had one of the strongest recent administrations in terms of funding the criminal justice system.
But more broadly, linking crime and votes simply doesn’t reflect how crime works.
Studies have repeatedly found that urban crime is not a widespread phenomenon — like voting is — but a product of small groups of people in small areas.
One 2015 study examined crime networks in Chicago and found 70% of nonfatal gun injuries occur within networks that contain just 6% of the city’s population. Another study that year found crime across a number of cities was concentrated in "microgeographic hot spots."
Weisburd said his research revealed a "law of crime concentration": Across an array of large cities, 1% of city streets account for about 25% of the crime, and 5% of streets account for about 50% of the crime.
An array of local socioeconomic and cultural factors play a role in which areas yield that concentrated crime. But it’s a lot more than politics.
