re: #72 lawhawk
Yup. Best look at rates from 2 years ago to today. That’s a better comparison.
It’s the same with everything on the economy too - like gas prices when no one was driving or traveling being lower due to low demand - and now when everyone is itching to travel.
The NYPD provides a bunch of states, comparing year over year, month, year to date, 2 year ago, and more.
Crime is still down overall, while murder is up over past two years.

oh hell, if ‘crime’ is up so much, and it’s because of defund the police, then it should be easy to:
- point to every single police department that has less police on the street
- because they have less money
- that the cause of the less money is that they were ‘defunded’
- and in this short period of time has caused more crime to be committed
