Council. It is common for reasonable attempts to avoid minor offenses being overincarcerated to lead to foolish decisions to allow more serious crimes to be committed. Millions of dollars in donations by George Soros to the uber-leftist billionaire George Soros have made it impossible for judges and prosecutor to do their jobs. In the wake of George Floyd&#8217;s death in Minneapolis, police budgets were cut.\n<\/p>\n<p>The results were predictable. Bad public policies have led to the rise of the most violent crimes in recent years, particularly in large Democratic-run cities and states ruled by liberal supermajorities. 25 percent more criminals are committing murders, assaults and rapes than they were a decade ago. The postFloyd spike was particularly alarming, with the national murder rate increasing by astonishing 30% in 2020.\n<\/p>\n<p>Rafael Mangual, a Manhattan Institute fellow, said the following: \u201cwe have lowered the \u2018transaction cost\u2019 of committing crimes, while we have raised the transaction cost of deterring crime.\u201d This is the type of arithmetic which can lead to disaster.\n<\/p>\n<p>The D.C. Council ought to listen to Bowser on this issue \u2014 and to the police chief, the U.S. attorney, and the victims of crime.
