FBI figures show drop in violent crime
The Hill ^ | 06/10/2024 | REBECCA BEITSCH

Violent crime dropped considerably in the first months of 2024 compared to the same time last year, according to statistics released by the FBI on Monday.

Crime reporting for the first quarter of the year showed a 15 percent drop in violent crime overall, including a 13 percent drop in aggravated assault.

Serious violent crime like murder and rape both decreased by about 26 percent.

The figures were a victory for the Biden administration, which sought to highlight the dip as the GOP focuses on crime ahead of the 2024 election.

“This data makes clear that last year’s historic decline in violent crime is continuing,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a release alongside the crime report.

If you don’t investigate, it didn’t happen. If it isn’t reported, it didn’t happen.

It’s because this Administration lifted the requirement for precincts to report crime. Used to 100% of all precincts were reporting. Now, it’s down to about 50% who report. That news came out about a month or so ago. First time I heard it anyway.

Defund and fire police officers

Make police officers to intimidated by end of career and possible jail time for arresting criminals

Discourage arrests by releasing criminals with no bail.

Refuse to charge those few criminals who actually are arrested.

Crime statics go down while crime sky rockets

See how easy that is

And they will continue to drop at a staggering rate through October, 2024. In fact, death will be almost eradicated because Joey has cured cancer, stopped all forms of violence, and all wars have been won.

Talk to any current or retired law enforcement officer.

Some major cites are absolute experts at not reporting, or under reporting crime. This deceit has been going on for a long time, and one suspects that it's much more the case now, with under-, or non-reporting of serious crimes, and DAs downgrading, or tossing legitimate cases against violent criminals, and etc.

Shouldn't congress look into this?

BTW, can you guess what violent crime is least likely to be reported to the police? Rape/sexual assault (easy to look up online.)

From the article: “This data makes clear that last year’s historic decline in violent crime is continuing,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a release alongside the crime report.

Another blatant lie by the Globalist Merrick Garland. He knows damn well that agencies are not required to report crimes anymore due to changes under HIS watch.
