Saginaw Ranked Third Most Violent U.S. City Thanks to Defund the Police McDonald Rivet

August 20, 2025

New FBI data shows that Saginaw is the third most violent city in America “based on the FBI totals for per capita violent crime, including murders, rapes, assaults and robberies.”

Defund the police Kristen McDonald Rivet is to blame.

McDonald Rivet has consistently chosen to appease her radical far-left base and push a dangerous defund the police agenda while rejecting the rule of law and threatening the safety of Michiganders. 

“As violent crime surges in Saginaw, Kristen McDonald Rivet does nothing but continue to push her radical defund the police agenda. Defund the police McDonald Rivet’s reckless failure is a betrayal of Michigan families and a direct insult to the brave men and women in blue.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon
