As we’ve reported, the tony LA neighborhood of Encino has become a hotspot for robberies, home invasions, and “burglary tourism.” ABC moderator David Muir may have interrupted Donald Trump Tuesday to say that the “FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country,” but it sure doesn’t feel that way for most people.

I’m sure it must not feel that way for former USC and NFL star Reggie Bush, whose home was invaded that very same night by three thugs wearing black. The Heisman trophy winner was home at the time but reported that “Everyone is safe.”
Bush reportedly heard a window being smashed and yelled, scaring the would-be burglars off.
The Los Angeles Police Dept. confirmed that officers responded to a burglary call around 11 p.m. on the Encino block where Bush lives. LAPD Officer Charles Miller said a resident of the house reported hearing a window break and broken glass was found outside. Nothing was stolen.
Miller said the suspects were dressed in black and left the scene in a white crossover vehicle before police arrived. A report was taken and an investigation is being handled by West Valley detectives, Miller said.

Bush had a storied career:
Bush was a star running back at USC from 2003 to 2005, helping the Trojans earn the Associated Press national championship in 2003 and 2004 and win the BCS title in 2004 while he won the Heisman in 2005, and spent 11 seasons in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints following the 2009 season.
Democrats, along with their lapdog media sidekicks, keep trying to tell everyone that crime is going down and that their progressive policies like “defund the police,” cashless bail, and soft-on-crime prosecutions aren’t to blame for the perception of lawlessness in many big cities. However, as any resident of Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York City—and even the smaller Aurora, CO—can tell you, their bogus statistics don’t tell the true story. Reggie Bush’s experience has become all too routine in Los Angeles, and it’s only because he’s famous that it’s making the news.

What Reggie Bush’s story reveals, however—yet again—is that progressive policies don’t work.
