The Squad pushed their agenda and as a result this is what happened in many American cities:

American communities are less safe today than they were a year ago. Crime rates have surged since “defund the police” became a rallying cry. It’s no coincidence that cities that have slashed their police budgets have seen huge increases in violence. As of the end of May, Portland, Oregon, was on track to exceed 1,000 shootings for this year. In the first 14 weeks of 2021, New York City shootings were up 81 percent. In Oakland, California, carjackings are up almost 88 percent. Unfortunately, these are just a few examples.

The crime surge is real, and it is frightening. Statistics and percentages can seem abstract, but there are people behind every one of those crimes. People whose lives have been cut short or ravaged by violence. People whose sense of safety has been destroyed. Due to the police operating with fewer available officers over 346 were shot and many killed in the line of duty to protect Americans in 2021.

Thanks to the stupid and reckless legislation pushed by the Squad America has turned into a sea of violence and crime with no proper legal enforcement from our justice system. Everyone wonders where "defund the police" movements go as 2022 witnessed record-high homicides crime rates in major U.S. cities and officer deaths. That's right; they probably crawled up to wherever they came from after realizing they were utterly wrong by calling for defunding the force.

The police must be refunded now and the all members of the Squad have to be censored immediately.
