If Trump campaign is smart they will follow the Nixon playbook and make crime and overseas unrest the #1 issues (plus inflation).
Crime is not recorded when laws are not enforced.
I don’t believe for a minute anything is down. It’s just not being addressed and prosecuted.
It used to be a FBI requirement that police departments report violent crime. Biden dropped that requirement so now most of the big Democratic cities will not report those crimes to the FBI. Ta da! Violent crime rates are miraculously down.
The cops and the government are juking the stats.
When you ignore violent crime it does not mean that it has dropped.
I think we all are seeing it when we go shopping and see certain items are locked up behind glass.
That makes an impression on all of us regardless of what the official crime statistics say.
Retailers would not be locking up items if they didn’t face issues with criminal stealing their merchandise.
IMO the number one crime besides illegal aliens entering the US is shoplifting. It’s gotten to where lowlifes think it’s a right.
Violent crime has a tendency to drop when you stop recording it.
There were multiple videos on Twitter yesterday of a despondent James Carville saying, "The Democrats' message is s**t!"
The only reason “murder is down” is cops carry trauma packs and first responders have gotten so good at saving gunshot victims.
“...much like with the economy, where the cumulative impact of inflation overshadows a statistical improvement to standards of living.”
It’s not hard to believe that murders are down from 2020 which was an absolutely bloodbath in the black community.
Is there a Republican think tank out there that routinely checks crime and economic data issued, i.e., made-up, by the Democrats?
Ha, ha the Bee is funny.. oh wait!
One suspects, my good FRiend, that murders are anything but down, and guessing that they're way up.
"Reported" murders? Well, they might be down, as one further suspects that the blue cities and states are experts on how to manage crime stats and also news.
“Even as Violent Crime Drops”
Anyone who just takes a look around them knows that these are lies for political reasons.
It is all about conning people into re-electing Biden.
They’re also doing the David Dinkins “We’ll just not report the crimes, this will lower the crime rate” thing.
blm/antifa have slowed their activities....yet not buying the homicide rates tumbling.
funding for law enforcement is rising,
Dims realize the pushback against the lawlessness their Soros backed AGs is hurting their election chances.
and tensions between the police and communities of color, while still significant, are no longer at a boiling point.
Again, blm/antifa have been told to tone it down as have the black groups.
But property crime, carjackings and smash-and-grab burglaries are up, adding to a sense of lawlessness, amplified on social media and local online message boards.
And as reported on local newscasts.
I mean, when you go into a Target or Walmart and things are behind lock and key.....it is lawlessness.
Every bit fostered by the dims.
Violent crime is NOT dropping. Many police departments have stopped reporting their crime stats to the FBI, allowing the Dems to refer to the UCI as “proof” that lawlessness isn’t rampant under the deranged Biden regime.
Medical advancements and technology can wipe a potential “murder” off the board and it into an aggravated assault.
