Trump’s bluster is primarily focused on heavily Black cities in states with Democratic governors. He rails about Chicago, but fails to note that Chicago has, according to the FBI, a lower violent crime rate than Pasadena, Texas, which has a Republican mayor. Washington D.C. has more cops per 100,000 people than New York, Boston, and Las Vegas, for instance, but also higher rates of violent crime. Trump’s real goal: racist social control, not crime preventionClearly, Trump’s “law and order” campaign is not really about crime prevention. These, and other policies, are guaranteed to increase misery and discontent among the working class.
