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.

“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 feds have never required local police departments to report violent crime — that has always been voluntary. You are correct that big democratic cities do not report crime stats to the FB!. In fact, 40% of LEO agencies nationwide do not report crime stats to the FBI.
