If criminals are going to be released immediately with no bail, victims may fear reprisal for reporting the crime. I wonder if the FBI thought about that.

Crime is not only not dropping in urban areas, it’s spreading to the suburbs. Muggings, carjackings, grand theft auto, breaking and entering...

In many cities the police will not respond to “minor” crimes anymore. I wonder if those crimes make it into a data base. Or are they treated as if they never happened?

The Democrats have demoted crimes to nothing misdemeanors.

Never happened.

If you don’t respond you can’t investigate

If you don’t investigate you can’t file a report.

If you don’t file a report it doesn’t get entered in to the NCVS

When things get really bad (negative results from government actions) governments always resort to lies, obfuscation, and blame shifting. Unfortunately, far too many voters still believe governments are trustworthy and looking out for their interests. Governments always look out for themselves first and foremost. Voters need to start paying attention and believing only what they can verify as fact. “Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.”

Attacks on White people in urban areas are no longer considered crimes.

“I wonder if those crimes make it into a data base.”

What is more important is not quantities of crimes in data bases, it is the exact block location of crimes, the date and time of those crimes and the nature of those crimes.

That is actionable intelligence—and fortunately most cities these days have web sites providing it.

For example, in 2022, the most recent full year for which the FBI has released statistics, 17 percent of law-enforcement agencies didn’t report to the bureau. Among those not reporting were the New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco Police Departments.

***If criminals are going to be released immediately with no bail,****

I remember when this nonsense got started back in the 1960s in Eastern Cities. The city fathers could not understand why the crime rate suddenly went UP!

The “declining rate of lawlessness” is a result of making what used to be crimes legal. No Laws, no laws to break, no crime. It’s a liberal miracle and the best advertisement gun shops can get.

“Overall, black Americans are arrested at 2.6 times the per-capita rate of all other Americans, and this ratio is even higher for murder (6.3 times) and robbery (8.1 times).”
