The FBI this month released the 2014 edition of Crime in the United States , and it revealed that the estimated number of reported violent crimes decreased 0.2 percent when compared with 2013. And the estimated number of property crimes decreased 4.3 percent from 2013 levels.
Homicides with firearms in 2014 were down 3.9 percent on a year-over-year basis. Consistent with previous years of this ongoing work, the vast majority of these murders were committed with handguns, although all categories of gun murders were lower. Rifles of all kinds were involved in just 3 percent of gun murders in 2014, lower than the number of deaths attributable to knives, blunt objects, and even fists or feet.

“Yeah, sure. Like you could trust them.”
I would sooner trust a congressman with a bad coke habit.
Want to see crime really fall?
Here is How to Win the war on Drugs:
First pass Constitutional Carry laws with no exceptions.
Second Pass strong Castle laws with no exceptions.
Third, Pass strong Stand your Ground laws with no exceptions.
End of drug and crime problems. Secure borders and May even clean up politics.
I really don’t trust statistics.
Well one reason is that the Goosesteppers are changing the way the criminal justice system is working.
OBAMAS FBI don’t believe a word of it
And gun ownership rose.
No doubt, I bet that a lack of prosecution translates to a crime never having been committed.........so Black crime has definitely dropped for the last seven years according to Lord Foul and his JustUs department.
My first thought as well and why the stats could be fairly accurate.
Correct, we don’t.
This is PER capita. More crimes are committed but we add a couple million people every year. They repeat the same lie locally here.
Every single day our local news reports multiple shootings, car jacking, home invasions.
More guns, less crime......who’d a thunk it?
What is the truth? We certainly can't trust the Obama justice department to honestly report crimes.
I know. It’s like we all know that crime is up a minimum or 1,000% based on the msm reporting. School shootings at least 3 per hour. Solution to school shootings? Close the schools. They aren’t giving very good ROI for the most part these days anyway.
And congress critters. :>}
How could anybody believe these numbers?
Look at all the publicized riots, e.g., Baltimore, Ferguson.
Were those crimes counted? No.
Multiply those missing numbers by a hundred and you’ll see these stats are about as good as our computer price index. In other words - politically motivated and worthless.
And white on black crime is WAAAY up too right FBI?
Sorry, I’m not buying this report.
We’ve seen violent crime increase markedly.
Chicago. The Knock out Game. Crimes of race against Whites by Black thugs and Islamic terrorists.
This feel good flight of fantasy is nothing but exactly that.
Under Clinton and Obama, the FBI has been corrupted IMO.
TWA800, Waco, various scandals under Obama..., this is not our father’s FBI.
Excellent points...
