    Yes and your side does it just as much, more even.
    The statistical propoganda wars our media darlings like to bambozzle the public with.

    Being a far-right conservative (you can see my posts praising DeSantis, amongst others); it is 200% true that crime decreased the past 3-4 decades.

    I grew up in 80s-90s Miami and let me tell ya, the crime there back then was exactly like the action movies (i.e. Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, The Substitute, Pain and Gain). Compared to back then, things now are relatively mild. It's a fact when the statistics match the eye test.

    And yet there are educated people out there, like some who post here, that actually rely upon data-driven facts. I find your take and to some extent, docspor's take, to be cynical. Sure, there's an element of truth to the ignorance of the masses. It shouldn't, however, preclude folks from making informed opinions.
    On another note, we made it through the school year with very few shootings this spring.

    New FBI stats show 'historic' declines in violent crime rate, with murder showing sharpest drop

    The murder rate fell by 26.4%, reported rapes decreased by 25.7%, robberies fell by 17.8%, aggravated assault fell by 12.5%, and the overall violent crime rate went down by 15.2%, the statistics show.

    Reported property crimes also decreased by 15.1%, according to the UCR report, which the FBI compiles using crime statistics supplied to the agency by law enforcement agencies across the U.S.

    ———————-

    "Donald Trump is a convicted criminal who enabled the largest spike in violent crime in more than a century," Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement. “President Biden has worked hard to clean up his mess, and it’s working."

    How much of the white collar crime will be reduced when Trump gets locked up?

    For the most part crime, including violent crime has been declining steadily every year for the last 30+ years or so. The problem is too many people with access to too much information.

    Nice report corrupt and weaponized FBI, but the American people know better.

    I will say that the antisemitic college protests have largely died down, but the democrats who support these vile and evil people had to shut them down as it was hurting dems in the polls throwing gas on the fire of an election change year. It has been a long time since I felt this safe in the summer.

    Folks, you are safe from democrat attacks until after the election. Enjoy the temporary change in the democratic party sponsored violence while it lasts.

    Did you work through your feelings in this post? Because the only organizational scheme that I can see on that post is your personal resentments. BTW, this data is supported by every private collector of crime data as well. For example, Jeff Asher's data has been showing massive decreases in violent crime as well. And no, Palestinian protests were not the cause of an appreciable amount of violent crime in terms of national crime numbers. These decreases occured during the first quarter of 2024.

    I recall DeSantis touting the improving numbers in Florida. Was he part of the conspiracy to lie about the numbers to help Biden?

    For some groups there truly is an abhorrence of any factual data that disputes their narrative. Seems that facts must cause so much cognitive dissonance that they're simply ignored, tossed aside without consideration, or simply pushed into the MSM conspiracy realm. They are like cultists that exist without any question of their so called leaders. Or it's possible these people are just dumba$$es.

    Criminals temporarily quit committing crimes because they were afraid they were helping Trump in the election. Criminals are deathly afraid of Donald Trump.

    "reported rapes" but the word reported is not added to any other category? I was just wondering, this must have something to do with the fine young ladies that report rapes 30 years after they allegedly happen when the accused runs for office.

    Why are we arguing stats?
    Gun laws seem to working to decrease violent gun crimes
    Police seem to be working reducing violent crime
    Red flag laws seem to be working
    Etc…
    Shouldn’t we all be happy that we live in a less violent time and society? Just a few years ago people were sure we were heading to the wild Wild West all over again. Clearly not the case..

    I read this without looking at the poster. I realize this is sarcasm but it read like one of our trump apologists wrote it. Well done.

    The FBI crime statistics are kind of like the labor market statistics from the BLS. With Biden in office they're all phony from a corrupt FBI. If (G-d forbid) Trump is elected and the crime rate continues to decline the statistics will suddenly become credible. In 2016 when Obama was in office the positive employment stats were phony according to Trump and his followers in MAGA nation. After Trump took office in 2017 the positive stats suddenly became credible although source (the Bureau of Labor Statistics) as well as the methodology used to calculate them remained unchanged. Also not unlike the election results. If Biden is reelected the election Trump and his MAGA cult will claim that the election was stolen from him as the result of massive fraud. If the Donald is elected Trump and the MAGA cult will categorize it as a free and fair election.

    These numbers are obviously corrupt since Trump is not in office. If he was in office and the numbers were going down then we would be able to believe them
