Crime stats?

[blasternaz]

The FBI's dubious crime stats: Just in time for election season, Joe Biden's FBI is dutifully telling us that crime is way down, but the bureau wants us to ignore all the cities that have stopped reporting their crime statistics. The newly released numbers say that the rates of violent and property crimes have significantly dropped within the first three months of 2024 compared to the same time last year. But have they really? Um, no, says retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro: "40% of the nation's police departments don't report up to the FBI with their crime numbers. What a coincidence. Let's do the roll call — New York, LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. which is federal itself — they don't report to the FBI. So consequently, what do they all have in common? [They] are all big blue cities that have high crime rates and those numbers are not going into the UCR." So what we have here is a case of lies, damned lies, and statistics.

One has to ask, what changed in the first three months of this year v last year, answer our criminal justice system. Cali with $999 or less gets a ticket, DAs reducing everything to a misdemeanor, Cops on the street not even charging some because they know it's a waste of time.

Then tell the sheeple how good you are doing, because the stats say so.

Of course murders were down in 2022 compared to the year before! There was nowhere else to go. Following St. George Floyd’s ascension into heaven and the subsequent de-policing movement, murder rates went through the stratosphere — then dipped slightly.

Similarly amazing facts:

— Deaths from sneak attacks on the United States dipped after Pearl Harbor.

— Civil War deaths dropped dramatically after 1866.

— Deaths from Spanish flu collapsed in 1921.

Nationwide, the murder rate increased by a mind-boggling 30% in 2020 — a bigger year-to-year increase than any time since we’ve been keeping records. The next closest spike was in 1968, when the murder rate rose by a comparatively paltry 12.7% — though for similar reasons.

Just when it seemed killings couldn’t go any higher, the murder rate rose again in 2021, as the left’s demonization of police continued, for a total increase of 37% during the Floyd extravaganza.

Following the two most murderous years in two decades, the murder rate did finally fall in 2022 — by a whopping 4% to 5%. This brought the U.S. murder rate back down to 2020 levels, aka the second-most murderous year in the past two decades.
