A shocking report revealed that almost half of the nation’s murder cases go unsolved, including around three out of four Chicago murder cases, a CBS News investigation team found.
Using FBI crime statistics to determine their findings, the team found that the national clearance rate for murder cases — meaning solved cases — in major U.S. urban cities had sunk to its lowest levels in over 50 years. The team primarily used data from 2020 as that year was the most recent release from the FBI.
Thomas Hargrove of the Murder Accountability Project told CBS News that from June 2020 to December 2020, most murder cases went unsolved. Furthermore, the number of homicides recorded in 2020 far outpaced past years.
“It’s a 50-50 coin flip,” Hargrove said on whether a case is solved or not.
The murder and violent crime rate began to rise in the U.S. at the same time the Black Lives Matters riots and the "Defund the Police" movement gained national notoriety in the summer of 2020. In that year, only 51 percent of murder cases were solved, according to the FBI.
Police also reported that understaffed and overworked departments led to a shortage of resources to solve most homicide cases.
Some examples of data across major urban areas include the Minneapolis Police Department, which documented a clearance rate of about 53 percent, and the Los Angeles Police Department, which recorded about 55 percent rate clearance rate, according to FBI crime statistics via CBS News.
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) did not submit clearance data to the FBI, which led the investigation team to submit a freedom of information request. They found that in 2020, the CPD clearance rate was 44 percent.

I guess defunding the police was really stupid huh? 🤪
No surprise with all the Soros bought and paid for DAs running amok in this country. We really need to take those bastards out of power.
Our city is in for a life or death struggle over a race between a sane DA and a Soros-funded DA. Elections are on August 5.
Let us pray that the Americans prevail.
But for them, America would have the per capita murder rate of Switzerland.
I’m sure every gun that was used was registered. I won’t even mention the demographics.
as I always bring up, if you’re superbowl ring goes missing, the fibbers will be there on the case pronto....
I’m not sure. Is murder by abortion solved or unsolved?
Solving Arkancides would be a good start.
Excuse me, I don’t want to interject my personal life here, but I am dating a Democrat.
She knows about Soros, I told her. She knows about his Nazi past, I told her and showed her evidence.
She knows about his funding of DA candidates, I told her and showed her evidence.
She complains about crime but does not believe in guns, guns bad.
She has been told he is wanted on felony charges in multiple countries, I showed the warrants.
She cannot believe he has anything to do with Democrats. Democrats good.
She’s voting for the Soros backed DA candidate because he is a Democrat.
I need a new girlfriend.
And we should not forget the “snitches get stitches” and the “I dint see nuttin’” mindset.

Unsolved or unpunished? I suspect in some cases the criminals are being allowed to get away with their crimes.
Many major cities (and states?) are experts at UNDER-reporting their murders and other violent crimes.
This has apparently been going on for quite a few years, and it's apparently well-known.
Might some GOPers in congress might look at investigating this and reforming the reporting process?
(Could this under-reporting of crime be an excellent election issue?)
Dump her today.
Because most murders in the US occur in places where “snitches get stitches”. Or worse...
I think it’s more than that since Jo Jo the Clown took the controls.
