This is what happens when you defund police. Chicago (where the article mentions the carjackings are occuring) also had an over 50%+ increase in shootings, and murders. Compared to 2019, 2020 had 1,121 extra shootings, 1,435 extra shooting victims, and 274 extra murdered.
Chicago isn't the only place that also noticed a significant increase in violent crime as a result of defunding. DA's releasing people immediately likely also didn't help.
