According to Google the figure was 74 for 2023
so, defunding the police, decriminalizing drugs and stopping people in jail lowered the murders by about 25% in 2023?
if the answer is no then your original premise must be false.
The defund the police movement started in 2020 after George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl.
Did you actually read anything I wrote? If all these things you list make murders go up, then why the dramatic drop in 2023?
Were any of the things you list even implemented in Portland?
Are you serious? 74 is still triple the long term average. Numbers fluctuate every year regardless ... and yes .. it's been widely reported on
