First of many articles to help Biden win.
Yep. They’re cooking the books.
Are killings down? Or “murder”?
Yep. It’s all about classification of a death(s).
In the end it’s all about politics and in some cases, getting federal money in some manner.
Numbers are being cooked.
Yes they don’t count them and everything looks good for democrat party.
They are left with the only option to win cook the books because their numbers are so bad.
Where’s the “Yeah, OK” girl?
but you cant hide the deaths from murder, when someone is dead they are dead, it is not like you just cant report it
As with elections, it’s about who does the counting.
I have noticed that law enforcement now almost always finds the guy they are looking for. My take is that there are new methods of finding perps that we haven’t learned about.
Here’s what jumps out at me: The Headline and article refer to “homicides,” but the statistical data upon which the article is based refers to “murders.” Although all murders are homicides, not all homicides are murders. For example, in my state, there are twelve types of criminal homicide, but only three of them are classified as “murder.” I suspect that liberal district attorneys are classifying murders as lower level homicides such as manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.
The reporting method changed in the last few years for index crimes. Because of that a lot of agencies are incorrectly reporting their numbers, or not reporting them at all.

Americans are too lazy to even murder each other anymore
Reporting crimes to the federal database became voluntary under Biden. The major crime cities aren’t reporting all of their crimes. Of course the reported crime rates will fall if only the federal database is used.

Many cities/states purposely do not or under report, there’s the reason.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
Crime is a huge topic in elections this November, and the FBI has now entered the chat. It has just released the Crime in the Nation report for 2021. But the bureau switched the way it collects crime data this year, and many police departments did not get on board. Los Angeles and New York City did not report to the FBI. In fact, only 63% of the country's police departments submitted anything, and some of the data that was submitted was incomplete. Weihua Li of The Marshall Project has been poring over the FBI's findings. Hey there.
WEIHUA LI: Hey there, Mary Louise. Thank you for having me.
KELLY: Glad to have you with us. OK. So it seems like some places were very good at submitting data under this new system. Others were very not good. Where are the big blind spots?
LI: Yeah, for sure. So we have some states like California and Florida, where almost no agency in that state submitted any data to the FBI. And there are also a lot of larger cities. You know, the largest police department, New York Police Department, didn't submit anything to the FBI. So a lot of blind spots.
KELLY: A lot of blind spots. I mean, I'm wondering how accurate the numbers can possibly be if - just to take the two biggest cities in the country, New York and LA, they didn't report at all." ...More at link
I agree that has a lot to do with it. I would also be willing to wager that after 20 years of the GWOT, there have been advances in trauma medicine that have kept some people alive who would have previously succumbed to their wounds. It would be interesting to see the number of homicides vs. The number of attempted homicides.
Of course, if deaths by jabs were included...
Constitutional carry?
