As Crime Spikes, Bush Slashes Law Enforcement Funding
Throughout his tenure, President Bush and his staff have bragged about
their efforts fighting crime. In his 2006 State of the Union address,
Bush claimed, “Violent crime rates have fallen to their lowest levels
since the 1970s.” In May 2006, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said
the country had “a violent crime rate at its lowest level in three
decades.”
But new FBI statistics released Monday show that crime has actually
jumped under the Bush administration. Violent crime in 2005 increased
at 2.5 percent, the highest rate in 15 years for violent offenses. In
his FY 2007 budget, however, Bush proposed cutting local law
enforcement funding by a total of 52 percent. Some examples:
– Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS): Since 1995, COPS has
put more than 118,500 new law enforcement officers on the streets. But
Bush’s FY 2005 budget proposed cutting funding for the COPS program
for the fourth consecutive year, including eliminating all funding for
hiring. For FY 2007, Bush is trying to cut COPS by another 76 percent.
– Byrne Justice Assistance Grants: These grants give state and local
governments funds to “prevent and control crime and to improve the
criminal justice system.” Bush’s FY 2005, 2006, and 2007 budgets
proposed eliminating the grants. (Congress hasn’t eliminated them, but
has slashed funding each year.)
– COPS Interoperable Communications Grant: Succcessful program awards
technology grants to law enforcement and public safety agencies for
enhancing communication. Bush proposed eliminating the program in FY
2005, and has again proposed its elimination in FY 2007.
Bush’s motto: Take a bite out of crime (prevention programs).

Well of course. It's what Bush does: He brings violence to countries.
