Major cities were hit hardest.
It was a bloody Fourth. American cities saw a spike in violent crime resulting in more than 150 deaths and 400 injuries, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive.
“Declining morale among police officers and a dramatic plummet in recruitment have left law enforcement agencies across the country under-staffed and unable to keep up with the rise in violence. Officers leaving the force most often cite anti-police sentiment and political turmoil as the reason for their resignations,” said The Daily Caller.
At least 150 people were killed by gun violence in more than 400 shootings across the country during the Fourth of July weekend as major cities nationwide confront a surge in violent crime, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive https://t.co/FIdyakYOFh
