Crime Rates all Decrease

The Trump administration in 2019, or 2020?

If you are going to play this silly childish game of the President drives crime stats, then Trump caused the murder wave in 2020 and now Biden is fixing it.

 

Turns out violent crime didn't drop by 2.1% in 2022. It rose by 4.5%. Only 45% of violent crime is reported (even less in new immigrant communities, I believe). The FBI didn't want people to know that violent crime rose in 2022, contrary to what they told us. Judge for yourself by reading the article below). If the FBI can't be trusted to release good data in 2022 why should anyone trust their data for 2023?

 

According to the article there were 80,029 more violent crimes in 2022 than in 2021. So the violent crime rate didn't fall in 2022. That's my only point

I'm starting to trust crime data about as much as I trust job reports

 

Just like the unemployment numbers that get revised every month, another fallacy perpetuated by the Dems.

 

yes, they get revised every month, no matter who is in the white house.

 

Were murders underestimated in 2022? I read they were revised upward by 1,699. Not a crime statement junkie/economist like you but I'm wondering how an error that large is made in murder stats (the hardest crime stat to fudge, one would think)

Was the 2022 homicide number adjusted upward by 1699? That seems like a big miss if true

 

FAKE NEWS... propaganda by the Dems in control.

 

But you are a supporter of Russian propaganda. I try to follow your reasoning and one of us doesn’t use logic.

 

Fed bad data be the FBI.

 

Interesting this post rated a dislike. Is the disliker pro crime? Pro authoritarian?

 

The most important thing to learn from this thread is that liberals caused the "Floyd effect" which killed roughly 25,000 or more blacls after the death of George Floyd. Attacking the police and making them afraid or unwilling to do their job caused blacks to be more rambunctious than normal. Murders rose sharply as did traffic fatalities.

AP: Ferguson and Floyd Effects somehow failed to make black students behave better

 

Obviously, the FBI was for and reported on increased crime before they were against it, to paraphrase John Kerry.

Trust the experts!
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
Science is first and foremost and men can give birth!

Sadly, so many of our institutions have proved to be less than honorable. The big issue with this FBI revision is that it was done stealthily without any press release or acknowledgement they goofed. As always, it's not the mistake - it's how you handle it. Why wouldn't the average American be suspicious of data coming from these sources? Everyone makes mistakes; but, only professionals own their mistakes with an explanation and a plan on how the mistake(s) will be limited in the future. Not done in this case...probably hunting down some suburban mom who spoke up at a School Board meeting.
