Murders have dropped by up to 20% in some major US cities — including the Big Apple — so far this year, according to a new report.

New York City has seen a 15% dip in killings in the first three months of 2024 compared to the same period last year, the Wall Street Journal said.

The five boroughs had 88 murders in that time period, a significant dip over the 104 in 2023, the outlet said.

Some are murders and some are homicides, but they ain’t nothing until the [corrupt Soros] DA calls them.

You can tell how that idiot in the WH is spending time with his ‘team’..... all the MSM liars, government statistics agencies, and complicit leftist city agencies. The past 3-1/2 years has to look Great and the future much better - even if ALL of it are lies. None of this is really true.
