How to stop a crime wave:

Enforcement of the law, stop reporting the crimes, or reduce the charges so things look better. We know what’s going on.

Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, has a backlog of over 260,000 cases that were not being investigated due to incompetence in the police leadership and lack of manpower.

These cases are not being reported to the FBI.

For more detail, Houston Police chief resigns, mayor 'shocked' by latest investigation’s revelation.

Excerpt:

Houston’s police chief has resigned after emails obtained by a local news outlet appear to show that he knew about massive failures in the department well before he said he did. Within hours of issuing a statement about the findings, he resigned.

In February, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner first announced that the Houston Police Department dropped 264,000 crime reports, including violent crimes and sexual assaults, which weren’t investigated because a “lack of personnel” code was assigned to them, The Center Square reported.

In March, new Houston Mayor John Whitmire appointed an independent panel to review an internal HPD investigation into how the hundreds of thousands of criminal incident reports fell through the cracks. When Finner apologized at a news conference for the code being used, he said he first learned of its use in November 2021. He also said he told his senior leadership team to make sure it was no longer used.

Hours later, he submitted his resignation to Mayor John Whitmire, who accepted it. Whitmire sent a notification to HPD that he had accepted Finner’s immediate resignation and had appointed Larry Satterwhite as Acting Chief of Police on May 8.

I think much of this goes back to the day when liberal DA Kim Ogg took over from Republican Devon Anderson in 2017.

Late in the 2016 campaign, it was discovered that the Houston police department destroyed thousands of pieces of evidence that was held in the property room. Besides running on a soft-on-crime platform with most of the liberal Democrat DA's, Ogg added the property room evidence scandal to the campaign to oust Anderson.

Ogg won the election 54.2% to 45.8% for Anderson.

Now Ogg has her own problems, including a very public fight with Harris County Judge (aka County Commissioner) Lina Hidalgo.

And the Houston PD wasn't helping matters much.

We now see the national impact of problems like this when the crime rates are being politicized and the statistics they're using are erroneous.

There is a net increase of 80.029 more violent crimes.

Rigged elections have consequences

Some time in the past few years (I could look it up but I am lazy) they changed the way crime statistics were reported. They had been making the change for a while but in 2022 (I think) they completed the switch and if you did not report with the new system your numbers did not go in.

NYC, LA and any number of other big cities DID NOT SWITCH. They continued to report with the old systems and so their numbers were not included.

And there you go ladies and gentlemen.

How to Lie with Statistics 101. Decide what numbers you allow in and you can make the results anything you want them to be.

Yep, that is it.

Thank you for doing the research I did not.
