Violent Crime near 50-Year Low

For anybody being brainwashed about violence these days, it might help to pay attention to actual police statistics.

Reading the article, it’s not cut and dry. Reported crimes are key. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

He’s probably embellishing but her FBI stats probably don’t tell the whole story.

The point of my posts are to point out the illegals committing violent crimes. By definition they shouldn’t be here and those people wouldn’t have experienced the crime. We don’t need to add to the crime we have.

Of course, but it’s how we measure crimes.

Again, you can speculate about imaginary, hypothetical crimes, but when we are talking about data we are talking about recorded facts.

The FBI stats are taken from police stations all over the country and are how we’ve been recording these statistics for over 50 years. They don’t tell the whole story but they are the best Cliff Notes we have.

Why does the article straddle the issue? It doesn’t say that crime is actually at a 50 year low. It says you can point to different data sources and hers is probably closer to the truth. That’s not cut and dry

Reads pretty cut and dried to me.

Fair enough. Status quo for Trump and Biden.

I didn’t read but how is overall crime?

It doesn’t discuss all crime types. It mainly mentions the trend that violent crime has dropped since the 90s, except for a covid spike.
