Sarcasm and Silliness from a Windy City Cop

What's This?
Crime is down? Nationally?
Murder rates are plummeting. While we still have more than half a year to go, Kash Patel, the FBI’s director, says that the U.S. is on track to have the lowest murder rate ever. The current record low occurred in 2014 when the FBI reported a murder rate of 4.45 per 100,000.
The question is: why? Law enforcement matters, but it is probably also that Trump is deporting criminal illegal aliens.
According to Patel, “Let good cops be cops,” is the answer. “I’m gonna let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do. And I’m gonna give you the resources you need to do it. And I’m gonna take away the politicization and weaponization … and that’s what we’ve done.”
Golly, who would have thunk it?
I’ve been saying this for years
Armed citizens (not “civilians”) have had a LOT to do with this as well.
John Lott and others noticed this thirty years ago and more. Our FOUNDERS knew about it.

When 95% of the crime is committed by 5% of the people it just becomes a simple math problem. But math is racist or something.
