US EditionBRIAN HOWEY: Gov. Braun Weighs in on Indianapolis Crime
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUL 25 – Gov. Braun says loaning state police weekly is unsustainable and blames prosecutors for failing to enforce existing laws amid ongoing violence in Indianapolis, with homicides down 24%.
- On the Hammer and Nigel show, Braun said he will assist law enforcement when asked but cautioned that loaning state police every weekend isn't a long-term solution.
- After the Fourth of July mass shooting that killed two teenagers and injured five others, community concern over violence has increased, with Indianapolis topping violent crime rates at 12.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
- Braun recounted sidestepping seven or eight people lying on the sidewalk near Monument Circle last summer, while data show Indianapolis tops violent crime rates at 12.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
- Hogsett responded that he respects Braun’s concern but noted the governor isn’t on the ground in Indianapolis and took seven days to publicly weigh in on the violence.
- Broader context shows that in 2023, the Indianapolis metropolitan area generated $199.2 billion in GDP, nearly 39% of Indiana’s output, amid a national trend of Republicans targeting blue cities.
