> It’s funny how much lower the crime rate is in NYC than in other cities its size… <
Could be that NYC is getting a bad rep. Could be that NYC is shamelessly manipulating the statistics.
On a related note, the Pittsburgh police recently announced that they will not be responding to a whole range of crimes. You call it in, and they take a report over the phone. That’s it.
Evidently folks are going to realize that picking up the phone is a waste of time. Then presto! Crime in Pittsburgh will go down.
Talk to any LEO or retired LEO. It does happen in some cities. And mostly in red state cities from what I infer.
So your case is that their are murders in New York that people are not reporting.
