There's not really an evidence to support a work slowdown. Crime spiked but there was also a ton of other factors that could explain that.

I don't even want this to sound like I'm defending the police locally or nationally. I think they've been consistently ineffective. If anything, I think they're too stupid to come up with such a plan themselves.

Which is it, crime spiked because of a slowdown or a slowdown never happened

There is zero evidence of a slowdown. It's a theory without any evidence or any real evidence. It also runs counter to basic logic.

Crime did spike slightly in the wake of the pandemic and everything else in 2020, but a " police slowdown" isn't really a good or logical answer "why"

Homicide rates don't shot up by 20% just cause cops are doing their job slower or less or whatever.
