A lot of big-city Democrats, plus their allies in activist groups, plus their allies in the media, plus the officials at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting in Minneapolis, are denouncing President Donald Trump’s effort to curb crime in Washington, D.C. When Trump said he hoped to expand the effort to other cities, like violence-plagued Chicago, they told him what they had told him in Washington: Hands off our crime!

Why would Democrats take such a strong stand against Trump’s program, especially when to many outsiders it appears they are defending crime and criminals, or at least their city’s right to go soft on crime and criminals? It’s a little baffling.
