This is incredibly misleading. There is a 358% "surge" over the exact same time period from last year, but this is perfectly consistent with the increase in shootings over the past few weeks (Source), since, y'know, we have massive unrest leading to an increase in violence.

This has nothing to do with anti-crime units disbanding, and misleading fearmongering like this is the OPPOSITE of what we should be promoting on /s/news. Be better OP.
