Can’t have that nasty Stop and Frisk program, though, because too many minorities would be arrested. Duh.

The majority of people in prison are there for violent crimes, including 58% of black people. We have to counter the media-created myth that we’re locking up a generation for drug crimes.
Drug crimes account for only 13% of prisoners. And mere possession only 3.8%. (Yes, keeping a reserve of personal-use drugs may get you busted for intent to distribute.)

The article has a link to the FBI report, "Crime in the United States, 2015." There I clicked on "Property Crimes" to get to the Property Crimes page, which begins definition:
"...FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson."
I could not find anything there on cybertheft!
That page's link to "larceny-theft" which gives a definition that doesn't include cybertheft and in fact it specifically excludes "Embezzlement, confidence games, forgery, check fraud, etc.."
How easy is it for Obama's FBI to pat itself on the back for such a meaningless reduction in "property crimes?" About as easy as it is for the Obama Regime to pat itself on the back for a meaningless reduction in "unemployment." It's all in the definitions!
I don’t know about the rest of the country, but in CA people have stopped reporting property crimes because the cops no longer bother with them.
