Houston 11/30/21 1:58:35 PM #1:	"The mayor's announcement came after a weekend in which three people were killed, including a retired police officer acting as a security guard for a television news crew, bringing the number of homicides to 127 so far this year. To address the violence, Schaaf said she'll ask the city council to reverse funding cuts scheduled to take effect next year, though she still supports diversion efforts. When those messages and services are not effective the consequences must be swift and certain," Schaaf told reporters Monday on a Zoom call. *There is nothing progressive about unbridled gun violence.* "Oakland is among other liberal cities having to change course amid a spike in crime." https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/oakland-mayor-seeks-to-reverse-police-cuts-amid-crime-spike/2743394/ Most people could have told these cities that a year ago.
