I am fine with the DOJ intervening and cutting off funding for these jurisdictions with the highest rate of violent crime in the US according to FBI crime data.

Alaska
Tennessee
Arkansas
Louisiana
South Carolina
Alabama
Missouri

Guess who isn’t in the top 10?
NY, OR, and WA

Oh. You want most violent anarchistic cities with the highest rates of both violent and property crime? Fine.

Anchorage
Memphis
Wichita
Lubbock
Spokane
Shreveport
Corpus Christi
Mobile

It’s the FBI’s data not mine.
No NYC or Seattle or Portland to be found.

Yes there are some blue cities/states that make their way into this including New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona & Detroit.

But you won’t find any of the cities the DOJ wants to portray as hotbeds of violent crime anywhere in the top 10 most violent places in America.

Why?

Because what matters here is adjusting these rates on per population basis. That tells you how likely you are to become a victim of crime.

Even when we look at gun-related deaths, it’s all red states.
