Biden’s anti-crime plan ignored Dem’s role in creating crime rise

It s a good thing the president has noticed that homicides ­increased 30 percent last year, a historic jump that shows no sign of abating. But he leads a national party that is largely incapable of seriously grappling with a problem that requires resisting the yearslong intellectual and political campaign to delegitimize law enforcement and the criminal-justice system.

To his credit, Biden acknowledges the need for more cops, and his administration is making clear to localities that they can use funds from the COVID-relief bill to hire them.

The main thrust of his agenda, though, is gun-control proposals that represent a stark misdiagnosis of the crime wave.
