May 1, 2026 | Democrats refusing to punish criminals

Why do Democrats worry that Community Watch Anti-crime signs will not be welcoming? A key 2008 DOJ meta-analysis, Does Neighborhood Watch Reduce Crime? reviewed 18 evaluations and concluded that the majority of programs showed positive results. The studies showing an average reduction in crime of 16% to 26% in areas with active programs.

Democrat-dominated Ann Arbor is raising eyebrows and garnering widespread mockery for removing all of its anti-crime watch signs across the city to be more “inclusive.”

The move even prompted a New York City Council member, Republican Vickie Paladino, to say, “They’re just insane.”

.

The Michigan city announced on Tuesday that, at the direction of the City Council, it completed the citywide removal of more than 600 neighborhood watch signs. In a statement, the city explained that “removing the signs aligns the city’s environment with its commitment to inclusive, evidence-based public safety.” . . .
