In the days following the death of [[George Floyd]], a black man taken into Minneapolis custody for passing counterfeit currency, [[Antifa]] and other like-minded [[socialist]]/[[Marxist]] groups sparked a week long nationwide insurrection of riots, looting, destruction of homes, businesses and jobs, community services, beatings, and [[murder]] across the [[United States]].

In reality, defunding the police was just another round of liberal feelgoodism and [[virtue signalling]], tossing another bone to Blacks when they were emotionally most vulnerable to make them feel as if their grievances were being heard and they were cared for when in fact, Democrats never had any intention whatsoever to follow through on their bald face, naked lies. But the violent armies of white liberal socialists, with no respect for [[democracy]] or [[human rights]], were exposed for the entire country to see.
Although many departments were already slashing heir budgets due to an economic meltdown caused by the [[CCP global pandemic]] and [[China plague]] lockdown, [[communist]] and [[progressive]] city councils did not miss the opportunity to pander to the [[criminal]] [[Democrat]] voter base and claim victory over [[property]] owners, [[employer]]s, and law abiding citizens by creating an atmosphere of fear, lawlessness, and uncertainty.
==Purpose==
Author Linda Goudsmit described in detail the broader perspective of the Defund Police movement, the effort to defeat President Trump, and to win back Democrat control of the [[White House]] and all of [[Congress]], including the [[Senate]]:
{{quotebox|The movement to defund police departments across the country is the planned, paramilitary, tactical strategy to make America totally ungovernable. Overwhelming social [[chaos]] will bring calls for a nationalized police force run by “compassionate” radical leftist Democrats who will enforce the leftist narrative taught by Carter’s [[Department of Education]] and Obama’s [[Common Core]]. The goal of political predators is absolute power.
The infrastructure for a nationalized and then internationalized police force already exists. The International Council for Local Environmental Issues (ICLEI) was formed at the [[United Nations]] in New York, September 1990. There are 600 United Nations ICLEI member cities in the United States committed to UN Agenda 21/2030 and its international directives disguised as sustainable environmental policies. United Nations Agenda 21/2030 is the unapologetic [[globalist]] movement to create an internationalized [[New World Order]] ruled by a one-world government under the auspices of the United Nations. ICLEI has quietly moved into local governments to impose its comprehensive UN Sustainable Development policy dictating international rules for where people live, what they eat, what they drive, how they heat and light apartments, or houses.
We have arrived at the time in our history when political predators threaten the extinction of [[America]], our [[sovereignty]], and our constitutional freedoms. The enemies of America are aligned in common cause to defeat America-first [[President Donald Trump]] in November. The axis of political predators including leftists, [[Islamist]]s, globalists, and the [[communist Chinese]] who launched the [[coronavirus]], are aligned in common cause to extinguish America as we know her. They do not acknowledge America’s right to exist.
If the axis powers are successful and the Democrats take power in November, the infighting will immediately begin but will not last long. The leftists, including communist organizations Antifa and Black Lives Matter, will lose their globalist funding and dissolve into a paramilitary enforcement organization similar to [[Hitler]]’s [[brownshirts]]. The foolish sycophants who support leftism and the [[anarchy]] it created will be eliminated because there is no place in globalism’s New World Order for agitators.<ref>https://www.trevorloudon.com/2020/06/political-predators-threaten-america-with-extinction/</ref>}}

Paul Cassell, a professor at S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah, explained the phenomenon in a research paper titled ''"Explaining the Recent Homicide Spikes in U.S. Cities: The 'Minneapolis Effect' and the Decline in Proactive Policing."''{{quotebox-float|"Recently, major cities across the country have suffered dramatic spikes in [[homicide]]s. These spikes are remarkably large, suddenly appearing and widespread. At this rate, 2020 will easily be the deadliest year in [[America]] for gun-related homicides since at least 1999, while most other major crime categories are trending stable or slightly downward."}} Cities like [[Chicago]], [[New York City]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Milwaukee]] and [[Detroit]] have seen spikes in homicides, aggravated assault and gun assaults this year, according to a July study by the nonpartisan National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice (NCCCJ).<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/crime-spike-minneapolis-effect-police-cuts</ref> Cassell said the end result is 710 additional homicides and 2,800 more shootings in the U.S. And the professor attributes “several hundred” of the deaths directly to the war on police.{{quotebox-float|“My estimates are that several hundred additional victims were murdered because of a reduction in policing. There are very significant trade-offs that need to be considered here that have truly life-threatening implications if they’re not handled carefully.”}}With cities like New York City, moving to defund police by cutting their budgets, or otherwise redirecting funding to social services, this is having an impact as well.{{quotebox-float|“In the wake of the antipolice protests surrounding George Floyd’s death, less policing has occurred,” he wrote, saying “law enforcement capabilities have been diminished by reduced funding and other setbacks (such as increased retirements due to demoralization).”<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2020/09/30/us-sees-710-additional-homicides-and-2800-more-shootings-attributed-to-minneapolis-effect-978986</ref>}}==Criticism== Four weeks into the nationwide riots, not a single [[Democrat]] at the federal, state, or local level condemned the violence and attacks on innocent people.<ref>https://youtu.be/JWzbCxlCPbw</ref> Thyblackman.com observed:[[File:Secoriea Turner.png|right|350px|thumb|[[Black Lives Matter]] protesters [[murder]]ed 8 year old [[Secoriea Turner]] on July 5, 2020 in [[Atlanta]].<ref>https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/police-identify-8-year-old-girl-killed-in-atlanta-4th-of-july-shooting</ref>]]{{quotebox-float|"If blacks really believe that police are racist, black victims would presumably be less likely than white victims to report crimes committed against them. After all, they would doubt the commitment of the officers to solve the crimes. They would think that officers will engage in profiling and arrest an innocent black suspect. In fact, blacks don’t shy away from reporting crimes to the police. [[U.S. Department of Justice]] survey data on crimes reported to police shows that blacks are actually more likely than whites to report violent crimes committed against them to the police by 9 percentage points (54 percent to 45 percent). If you want to get rid of the police, that will mean no arrests, no convictions, and eventually no prisons. This change would be so far outside anything that the U.S. has ever experienced. But if research by economists gives us anything to go on, it may very well cause an 80 percent or more increase in murder rates. Research also finds that the benefits of policing are greatest in those areas where crime rates are highest — namely poor, black, urban areas. These neighborhoods would stand to lose the most by defunding the police. The cities where police are supposedly out of control and harming minorities have one thing in common – they are run by [[liberal]] Democrats. Indeed, almost all of them have been run exclusively by Democrats for many decades. For example, [[Los Angeles]] has only had one Republican mayor since 1961. Minneapolis and St. Paul haven’t had Republican mayors for over 45 years. As these politicians failed to protect their citizens, it may be the Democratic politicians and not the police who are to blame. One searches in vain for Democratic politicians who have reprimanded the rioters. After several nights of riots, Minnesota [[Sen. Tina Smith]], a Democrat, egged on demonstrators by calling for a continuation of the “righteous protests” and necessary routing out of “racism” that she said is endemic in Minnesota. On Thursday, not a single Democrat in the House voted for a resolution condemning acts of violence and rioting — including the “deliberate targeting of law enforcement officers,” as well as opposing the defunding of police. Yet, the very politicians who want to disband the police and who ordered the police to stand down during the riots after George Floyd’s death are the same people who want to ban civilians owning guns for protection."<ref>https://thyblackman.com/2020/06/28/the-democrats-cant-condemn-violence-including-violence-against-police/</ref>}}
