Thirty one percent of law enforcement agencies didn't report crime statistics in 2022.

"The missing agencies include the LAPD, the NYPD, and police departments in Phoenix, San Jose and New York's Suffolk County."

---

Yet despite the massive underreporting in 2022, crime statistics are lower now. Very impressive!

---

Did the same cities report previously? Are the statistics normalized to account for the missing big cities that traditionally have higher crime (I previously did some leg work and found the missing NYC stats showed nearly all categories of crime increased). Many actions have either been decriminalized or are not prosecuted which has the effect of artificially lowering reported "crimes", at least relative to prior year reporting.

Read the news story and you'll know as much as I do. I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept.

It does call the data preliminary and for 77% of the US population. It doesn't go into what places have yet to report their data.

It refers to statistics for murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault and property crime. I doubt those have been decriminalized with the possible exception of minor property damage.

I agree that murder and rape have not been decriminalized. The rest, however, have been to a certain degree. I do believe the decriminalization of property crimes has allowed police to focus more on catching and preventing murder and rape. Police are also aided tremendously by technology. They have a better chance to catch what they focus on. Unfortunately, they don't catch the things they don't focus on, and people just need to be careful and fend for themselves. We don't park cars outside our house overnight because we don't want to risk them being broken into or having our catalytic converters sawed off. We don't lock up our bikes outside of our eyesight. If we go to the beach, we bring them up on the sand. Just the other day, I went up a street in San Diego near the airport while driving to a hotel. I passed a guy who had a tent, five bags of luggage, about 10 bikes (some with parts taken), and a pile of about 500 bike parts from many different bikes. How do the cops not do anything about this?

I'm not anti-union, but I think unions aren't good things to have in Public/Gov't employment.

Agreed. And that goes for police and firefighters and all of them.

John Stossel: Success [charter] Academy shines in Harlem! * 7 minutes *

- teachers often work until 5 PM
- high expectations
- huge application #s for limited spots
- unions / govt fight expanding opportunities
- Success only gets 50% of the money city schools receive
- teachers are monitored & given feedback

AP class results
- public HS = 50% pass
- Success HS = 80% pass; 100% enter college

Tape released two years after Buckhead shooting. Suspect had a gun in a restaurant, acting erratically, police tazed him. Suspect allegedly shot a security officer as he ran out, police then shot him. Ugly.

🔞🇺🇸 Dude runs from cops with a gun, they nag dump.

Restaurant owner in Atlanta, Georgia call cops on a man who is allegedly armed with a gun.

Questions:
Didn’t the cop pushed him on the floor, when he was suffering at the begging triggering the whole thing?

The government won’t be helping to stop fentanyl in any serious way.

By choice.

Why?

Probably a deal with the Cartels.

“Trying” would look entirely different from what we observe.

Fentanyl is everywhere in the state of California but no one is pressuring Governor Newsom to do something...anything?

And Trump likes his prime beef well done, covered in ketchup. They're both clowns. Move on.

Voting machine contract under scrutiny following discrepancies in Puerto Rico's primaries.

The problem stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals...

How much ya figure Fox News spent trying to turn up evidence that Dominion Voting Systems is sketch before it delivered its check to Dominion for $787,000,000 for slandering the company?

That's the point your smooth brain keeps missing: they are ALL clowns. Democrats are spineless, wishy-washy clowns, beholden to their corporate donors and thus incapable of enacting truly meaningful legislation.

Republicans are evil and moronic clowns, bent on the destruction of democracy and the establishment of Christian Theocracy, as well as being paid for by their corporate donors.

---

You got it backwards, Republicans are spineless and dumb for refusing to use their power while Democrats are evil and more than happy to break the rules. Bearister knows that it's the Democrats who are the ballers.

Who cut the check? The Murdoch family? They aren't on Team Trump.

Opposite. It took some spine (for lack of a better word) for the Republicans to pack the Supreme Court like they did.

Most of the times when a Dem President makes a Supreme Court nomination, they bend over backwards to select someone who they think won't anger the Republicans in the Senate too much. (Obama: "You guys kinda like Merrick Garland, right? Here you go!" Mitch McConnell: "You think this is softball, but it's actually hardball."

When a GOP President makes a nomination, not only is the nominee really conservative, they're usually young and will be on the court for 25+ years. That's usin' your power!

That's not what packing the Court means. And Obama's boy, Garland, was just held in contempt by Congress as Biden's AG.
