Good grief Greensboro is more dangerous than San Francisco !
Definitely some interesting comparisons, Fred. There was a report today that homicides are down sharply from last year, so there is at least one silver lining.
Where are Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis? Something doesn’t compute.
Good question, Healey. I don’t know the answer as to why they don’t show up, except perhaps the measure used screened them out…
Well, I guess that’s if you can trust the FBI!! 🫤
Good point, Bronni…
This explains the government lie that this FBI graphic constitutes:
‘A big reason is the FBI figures are only measuring “crimes reported to the police.” More than half of violent crimes are not reported, thanks to what Anderson calls a new era of “lax law enforcement policies” in urban areas. Police in big cities also have an incentive to undercount crimes to make their performance look better.’
Ah, that explains it. It only makes sense that some crimes are not reported, and that some police departments may not be reporting a true count. Thanks, Healey.
