Violent Crime Is Falling Nationwide — Here’s How We Know
Preliminary FBI data, however imperfect, confirms a sharp downward trend in crime, undercutting attempts to blame criminal justice reform for pandemic-era spikes in violence.www.brennancenter.org
Yeah anything to avoid placing blame on defunding or recognizing it gave rise to a massive spike
Two different animals. Like an elephant and a hyena.
You do realize that the about face you're talking about happened under the 'progressive' leadership you're fond of blaming. If things have played out the way you claim, then it's refreshing to see lawmakers adapt and adjust their policies. If only lawmakers on the other side of the aisle would do a similar about face on gun safety laws.I dont think you and @mrhighlife get it. Police were defunded cops attacked and crime hit decade high levels. Cities then began funding the police again and reverting back to pre progressive policy policing. This is an indictment on progressive policies. You don’t get to say hey crime is good now. It’s better now because people are beginning to understand voting for progressives is bad for policy. You don’t go back to supporting politicians who supported that idiocy. You’ll get those same results
This isn’t hard. You both would do well to read the cnn Minneapolis article. It’s excellent
Cities Reverse Defunding the Police Amid Rising Crime
With an increase in crime, new funds from the economic revival and federal stimulus dollars, many U.S. cities are restoring previous cuts to police departments or are proposing to spend even more.www.wsj.com
Don't be condescending with your "do you understand" nonsense. Read my link. Full reporting has never occurred. There have always been reporting problems. But reporting by local and state law enforcement is more widespread and substantive than it has ever been. The dramatic downward trend in violent crime is irrefutable.
My takeaway from reading your posts is that St. Louis really, really sucks.Two different animals. Like an elephant and a hyena.
St. Louis police have crime data they won’t share. Researchers call it ‘embarrassing.’
Three years ago, the St. Louis police department abruptly turned off its public spigot of detailed geographic crime data. It’s left community groups and researchers in the lurch.www.stltoday.com
FBI publishes wrong crime numbers for St. Louis again amid technology woes for city police
The FBI report for the first quarter of 2023 contained artificially low totals for St. Louis after the city police department failed to submit crime data for more than three
No it hasn’t. Our Soros prosecutor was removed from office. Others have been voted out. Progressives haven’t changed. Biden is promising to put progressives on the s Ct
Those are just your words. Read where all the reporting has been a mess. LA ny Stl etc
No one is running - or governing - on defunding the police.
And a second Trump term would mean two more appointments by The Felon, with five of the nine justices being Trump appointees. Serving for perhaps 30 or more years. No, thanks.
What policies were implemented that you say the politicians recognized and course corrected?
Reporting has always been incomplete. But, nationally, reporting now is better than it's ever been.Those are just your words. Read where all the reporting has been a mess. LA ny Stl etc

This is where crime actually occurs. A top five dangerous city. The reporting is wrong.
I’m an independent who unlike you doesn’t live in a small town. I will vote trump. I see the consequences of Biden Harris daily. They’re just too harmful
Lmao your words mean nothing. And even if you were correct it doesn’t absolve progressive policies of defunding and bail projects supported by Harris. It’s politicians doing the opposite of those you want to vote for. The largest police association didn’t back Biden. That’s telling after the summer of love
We need more justices unable to define a woman.
I honestly wish more people would pay attention to that. Anecdotally, I've heard too many people say they can't justify voting for Biden over US support for Israel. Those same people will likely be the loudest voices when Trump's Supreme Court further restricts access to women's healthcare, contraception and moves us closer to Christian nationalism, which will really piss me off.
I already did. I cited where the reporting was bad. Multiple times.
Common sense?
Progressive policies. Defund. Bail. Not prosecuting. The reverse is to run progressives out, fund police, prosecute etc
No, I'm not defending anything. I said no one is running on the platform of defunding the police. This isn't hard.
Yeah. Hell, Thomas wants to revisit Griswold, the 1965 SCOTUS contraceptives decision. And then two more justices like him, courtesy of a second Trump term? No, thanks.
Like many other things the pendulum swung way too far. Looks like we are all course correcting. Violent crime rates are plummeting across the country. And we got a lot of reforms and updated training. The "defund the police" crowd the "shoulda just complied" crowd are usually equally stupid and naive. We should all respect law enforcement and understand their importance all while holding them accountable to do their job correctly and not abuse the position. Not rocket science.
What the data says about crime in the U.S.
Federal statistics show dramatic declines in U.S. violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s.www.pewresearch.org
They did in 2020. Harris the squad bail projects etc. mayors. Soros DAs. On and on.
I just showed you who did. 2020. They were just as stupid on the border. Why would anyone vote for an administration with such bad instincts and low knowledge
I think we should stop voting for any party who supported segregation and opposed gay marriage or women's suffrage. After all, no party or politician changes their policy positions or governing decisions. Ever.
Biden has never promoted defunding police.
