Multiple local law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News Digital blamed rising violent crime in Asheville, N.C., on Democratic political leadership and left-wing activists.

Buncombe County Courthouse, left, and Asheville City Hall, right, both of which are in the Downtown Asheville Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Duncan further noted that when he was serving as county sheriff,"left-wing activists" from outside the community would sweep in to disrupt community meetings."They would really try to get into it with the police, and a lot of times, they would try to shout down things," he said."And the first people who quit coming to those meetings were the people within the community. They really didn't get to speak, and they really didn't get anything done.

Placing Asheville's situation within the context of trends present in police departments across the U.S., he said the loss of officers accelerated following the protests that took place in the wake of George Floyd's death in 2020.
