Democrats in California told Target to stop reporting crimes or Target gets fined


That is one way to have less crimes reported

"I ... (was) also surprised that anyone would ever attempt to make a nuisance case out of somebody calling to report a legitimate crime," said Alexander Gammelgard, president of the California Police Chiefs Association while testifying in December at the Assembly's first retail theft committee meeting. "I don't think there is a place for that."

Hahaha I literally copy and pasted quotes from your own source and all you can do is name call.

The OP is falling for a common mistake... he doesn't like the facts, so he argues that the facts must be wrong. Does he have proof? No, and in this case his argument couldn't possibly be proven. But he doesn't like them, so he doesn't need proof.

pillbilly you are sad. And so many other words jason won't let me use. Ignore facts all you want, but they do not change. Slant, fake, and cherrypick: None change the truth. Oh, I forgot one! GASLIGHT!!

You can take that up with knslyr. It's his source.

And 32 cities for homicides only, I wonder why the same 32 cities weren't cited in the for the named offenses?

Out of the entire US, statistics from less than 1 dozen cities is unusual; considering there are over 100,000 cities and towns in the US and it's territories.

The number of homicides in the 32 study cities providing homicide data was 10% lower-representing 515 fewer homicides-in 2023 than in 2022.
Looking at other violent offenses, there were 3% fewer reported aggravated assaults in 2023 than in 2022 and 7% fewer gun assaults in 11 reporting cities. Reported carjacking incidents fell by 5% in 10 reporting cities but robberies and domestic violence incidents each rose 2%.
Among property crimes, reports of residential burglaries (-3%), nonresidential burglaries (-7%), and larcenies (-4%) all decreased in 2023 compared to 2022. The number of drug offenses increased by 4% over the same period.
Motor vehicle theft, a crime that has been on the rise since the summer of 2020, continued its upward trajectory through 2023. There were 29% more reported motor vehicle thefts in 2023 than in 2022.

This is the info the article you posted cites. Yes, they cherry pick the data and say, look it's higher than it was pre 2020, but the very article states violent crime has been decreasing since then.

Call me whatever sad little name you want. I'm just citing your own source.

No, pillbilly, the article says that the fbi is claiming crime is down. The fact is that one third of law enforcement agencies have completely stopped reporting crime stats to the freaking bunch of idjits. Add to that the DAs dropping charges on violent, and non-violent, crime, business owners not reporting theft and citizens not reporting crimes because they know the leos won't even come out to file a report. What it means is NO ONE KNOWS what is actually the true numbers on crimes committed in the US. And that is sad, indeed.

Tell the citizens around the mega immigrant shelter that crime is going down.

hillbilly666

Posted 8:55 am, 07/30/2024

But, the report linked in the article says crime is going down except for motor vehicle theft which remains high.

It's just not being reported. And people wonder why trust in the fbi is at a historical low? No, we don't wonder at all!
