Couple things here.

  1. prove violent crime is rampant and out of control in ct. I know Newsmax likes to tell you things like that with their crime watch hour, but I doubt that's remotely reflective of the truth.

  2. what are Republicans going to do about it? Cause all I see is that they'll stand by cops, and that's not good enough. Cops should be held accountable, just like the rest of us are. If they are offering nothing other than bitching and moaning, then I don't care about crime rates since they'll do nothing about it.

Well you live under a rock if you believe violent crime is down. There’s so many shootings per day in Hartford. Shootings daily in every city .. cars being stolen in every town across CT by juveniles armed with stolen firearms that shoot at people.

Stefanowski wants staffing levels for police to be raised to previously levels prior to Malloy removing the statutory minimum amount of Troopers for state police.

The people that should be held accountable are the ones committing these violent crimes who prosecutors and judges refuse to incarcerate using set mandatory minimums. They are all primarily convicts in possession of firearms which is a mandatory 5 year minimum but they are let out after only a year or so and continue to repeat the cycle of violence.

If you don’t care about violent crime rates being up or property crimes being up then feel free to go live in the democrat run cities where the city residents are tired of hearing gunshots every night and seeing bodies on the street.

The dems ignore all actual crime and want to skew the numbers by releasing people from prisons who shouldn’t be released.

So if you actually do research you'll find that your data is quite cherry picked. Sure hartford murder rates are up, but violent crime rates (homicide, rape, robberies, assault, ect) are actually down, and have been for 12 years. In fact, in ct violent crime rates overall are down. This is why you should research things and not listen to bullshit like Newsmax.

>If you don’t care about violent crime rates being up or property crimes being up then feel free to go live in the democrat run cities where the city residents are tired of hearing gunshots every night and seeing bodies on the street.

See this is how I know you don't really pay attention. I said if all Republicans are going to do is bitch and moan, I don't care about it. Tell me what they're going to do.

I wrote what their plan is. You decided to “cherry pick” and not read. Use your eyes buddy.

Your research is skewed due to the reasons i stated above, again, If you decided to read.

I didn’t realize “van life wanderer” a blog…. Is a useful news location … or “CTNEWSJUNKIE” which is extremely left leaning.

Start googling the fbi UAR stats from CT cities to look at violent crime instead.

Trying to downplay murders and basically implying that’s no big deal …. Is a pretty big deal but ok.

Well you didn't give me a citation, but merely listed of claims. If you aren't going to give me any data I'm forced to only use what I find, and it says you're wrong. So cite your claims, or stfu.

Republicans all sound like they use the same copy-pasta. The sheep mentality of their demographic is amazing. It’s like they’re all clones of the same shitty human archetype. Take the least desirable qualities of a humanity, squish them into a big turd, and you’re left with a republican. You make me sick.
