who was shot while riding in a car with her mother over Fourth of July weekend. The violence comes amid unrest from the police killing of Rayshard Brooks, a Black man who was shot by a white office in a Wendy's parking lot on June 12.
Floyd's death has stoked a national reckoning about policing tactics and fueled calls to defund the police and reroute funds to community and social wellness causes. “One thing that’s been observed in a number of cities after there is a very high profile incident of police abuse, there is a fairly substantial uprising in response to that, where you commonly do see increases in violence in communities that are most often plagued by this problem,” Webster said.
“Communities are desperate for resources, particularly at this time, and it goes beyond what a city can do. This is really a national public policy issue,” he said. “People have to ask themselves how they can help the most vulnerable affected by the pandemic and economic impact of it.”
It’s been proven that protests against police calling for defunding or worse result in less police presence. When the police pull back crime increases.
black BEHAVIOR matters!! They LITERALLY bring this on themselves. blacks are at the heart of everything WRONG with America. COVIDblack blacklivesmatterIsFeces blackViolence blackOnWHITEviolence
Its their own fault..quit feeling sorry for them.
Is all I can say is support conservative republican thes Democratic run cities and states could can a less about African Americans being killed in their streets. Time to wake up and see the truth.
LOL. That’s one way to put it.

Ways of slowing/beating crime in high crime states, more CCTV to get evidence/conviction and bringing back the D/P in certain states;the shooting is getting so ridiculous; young children are being murdered.BLM should be marching against this madness;young people of color dying.
Vote November
Well...what do they expect when their terrorist movement blocks the police? You get what you pay for.
Ruralareas are heavily armed. We don’t have these issues
And democrats want to defund the police..smh
That's what happens when you let Democrats lead you into an oppression trap.
Why not do a news piece on the root causes of this instead of just making a blanket statement? The public needs to know why this is so we can come up with solutions. Maybe, it’s too political to discuss?
NBC answer protest!!
Let’s see how NBC blames white people for black people shooting black people
I hate guns and I abhor people who take the usual path of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” . Or “it’s my right to bear arms”. Bullshit! The NRA is complicit in all of it.
HeidiNBC It's all shitty, but I'm not taking the blame for the gun violence. The Karens aren't descending upon communities of color and capping off people.
America's ILLEGAL gun control problem. 1. Straw Purchases 2. Corrupt, but Licensed (FFLs) At-Home and Commercial Gun Dealers 3. Gun Thefts, both private and licensed stolen guns.
They’re being punished for entertaining the thought of not voting Democrat. They better wise up!
If black lives matter so much how come they keep shooting and killing each other?
Psst.... this might have a lot to do with why there are higher levels of police interaction, you know. Just a hunch...
Naw. Y’all just let them riot like they should have StayHomeStaySafe , and Covid accommodate them. Plus, your pushing racism and hate hasn’t helped people of color much either. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ GeorgeFloyd pancakes goodmorning foodie Redskins
The largest communities of color are located in areas of leftist progressive governance & that's synonymous with incompetence, failing budgets, insufficient human services & chaos.
2A... Amiright?...
I do not believe that Black Lives Matters to the democratic party who are leaders of major cities where Blacks live, die, and are killed in impoverished environments. Where are the tax dollars? Stop lying to Black folks for their votes.
Open the damn schools!!!! Not all cities need to be treated like NYC, most of America lives in smaller communities, where covid hasn’t done what it has done in NYC, LA, Houston.. OPEN THE DAMN SCHOOLS.
GiveUpGuns we have had enough deaths with covid-19 we must work together with Love and humanity to let us heal, and prosper stronger.
Bearing the brunt of? Who’s committing the violence NBC? Can’t fit that in your headlines? 🤔
Then dial back the gun control and let people in these horrifically run Democrat cities defend themselves.
Good they have started all this. Maybe next time they act different
The people are getting what they wanted. The people want more control over the police then let them deal with the violence and death.
Just like calling everyone you don’t like racist. Now others don’t like you either
SHOW me a failed city or state and I will show you a Democrat in charge. walkaway Trump2020LandslideVictory
'Gun violence' - I didn't know abstractions could roam around and kill people.
Empower communities of color by increasing political representation. BlackVotesMatter
So why are they fighting the police why did they burn down their own businesses ...this violence isn't new
I love how you fakers in corporate news constantly like to gripe about problems...but always ignore their causes and solutions.
IAmSophiaNelson Just waiting for all the alt-right trolls, Seb Gorka wannabes and other bad-faith actors to chime in about how, 'iT's BlAcK oN bLaCk GuN vIoLeNcE tHo!!!!!1111'
You don’t say. Can’t have anything to do with the fact that criminals have been emboldened by a diminished police presence.
I guess these must be the non-protesters, because if they would've been out there looting and burning down buildings they would've been immune to the disease. Right?
Austerity is being imposed on poor communities, this directly increases crime. Trillions created for corporations while American's starve. The social contract is broken. We need to rise up.
Blame now blm 🤐( spreading and violence) Biden and dems should be sued.
🧐🧐🧐🧐
You can also blame the protests
Duuhhhhhh. You just realize this now? Been going on for years. And who’s DOING the shooting
“It” isn’t a weather pattern. You know people are holding the guns right? You know people pull the trigger, right? It’s not racist to assert a teensy bit of agency in leau of total victimization, right?
Do we really think less police is the answer to combat this?
ok so this surge of gun violence is new huh? where did it come from? perhaps hating on totality of cops for 3 months and making them hesitant to engage in already super violent areas doesn't help. maybe like it emboldens the criminals? who knows though...
But that MarchForOurLives though. I guess it didn't work out so well eh? Well hey! Maybe we should organize ANOTHER march for gun control. Maybe THIS time it will work. You think?
You gotta stop. We so tired of your constant race BAITING.
The DNC and wants both economic collapse and social injustice. They believe those will bring a Biden victory. Can you believe the DNC's candidate is a racist and possibly a rapist?
Yeah good thing we have BlackLivesMatter and all their sycophants across the nation! We'll get all this better in no time now.
Rioters looters arsonists and vandals are surely immune
