Roland Fryer mentioned this a while ago while discussing his paper on racial dispartiies in police use of force last year in a YT interview, he predicted an increase of felonies (100k's of felonies including 60k additional shootings i beleive were the numbers he used), due to 2020 politicans endorsing anti-police protests + large protests.

a big correlation for the uptick in crime he argued was related to politicans endorsing protesting controvercial police incidents + protests, which historically is assosciated with significant sharp upticks in crime.
