I believe it is a myth that violent crimes have dropped in San Francisco and California (despite the Dem politicians claim). The D.A.’s just don’t charge the culprits (thus the phantom drop in crime).
They can’t play that game with the murders - which is why they have to report a rise in the murder rate.
Yep, they just don’t tally the assaults anymore. Makes Sacramento and SF look like their programs are working when they’re utter failures.
What’s that old line? Torture the data enough it’ll surrender?
they play games with the stats, just like covid.....make up whatever they want....
I think you are correct. Bodies are hard to hide and inconvenient for the Leftists running things.
The corrupt liars fools and thugs at the FBI allow this type of crime reporting... where democrat hellholes ‘decriminalize’ crime by changing the standards and pleading everything down to nothing.
Democrats cities are hellholes and their crime numbers are lies.
I used to work in law enforcement. Crime statistics are manipulated almost everywhere for various reasons. One big reason is communities trying to lure big corporations to open up shop. Low crime rates are always part of that equation. But I watched my community “massage” crime stats to make it look safer in my community. The school district won state & national recognition for being a “drug free” school. Yet drugs were rampant. Their way of massaging stats was they confiscated drug from kids but never reported it to police. At one time the principal had boxes and boxes of drugs taken from kids. They just finally threw it away. Bottom line, never trust low crime stats. They are likely fake.
