From April 19, 2022 post.
Support for calls across the nation to to defund police departments nationwide and pandemic-related factors has led to an increase in the number of murders of black Americans, according to an analysis by the Manhattan Institute.
The overall murder rate increased 30% from 2020 to 2021, according to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Among white Americans, the figure rose about 21%, and among black Americans, the figure rose by more than 32%.
Calls to defund police departments followed the May 2020 death of George Floyd, a black male, while in the custody on Minneapolis police.
