Police officers are invaluable when it comes to preventing crime.

That statement shouldn’t have to be uttered, but in a world in which Democrats have obscured the lines and boundaries of common sense and decency, it needs to be stated — again and again.

The Los Angeles Police Department stated Tuesday that homicides increased by 250 percent in the first week of June in the city.

“The week of 5/31 to 6/6, homicides went up 250% and victims shot went up 56% compared to the previous week,” The LAPD tweeted.

“The past 24 hrs has seen 4 shootings, one of those resulting in a homicide. Detectives are following leads to ID & arrest the suspects — but we’re also asking for your help,” the department added.
