I call bogus on these stats. I just don't believe this reflects the state of law and order in the country.

There is an increase in murder, general violent crime and sexual assaults while we have a decrease in other offenses, so the numbers altogether may have dropped but at the same time Germany became less safe, I mean a decrease in car thefts does not outweigh an increase in murder, does it? The police is also too busy to record petty crime in various places.

I couldn't say about Germany or France but I feel pretty sure that 'mass rape in Germany' and 'truck attacks in France' are rarer than 'school shootings' in the US.
Considering the size of the U.S. compared to Germany or France, I don't this this comparison works.

At least our migrants are not committing mass sexual assaults. Seriously, thousands of women assaulted in one night. How do y'all tolerate that?

The US and various other American countries, e.g. Mexico have a violence problem without doubt, however this is no reason or excuse why Europe should become more violent too due to unwanted mass immigration of illiterates.

In this dimension it was a single event and "we" did not tolerate it, public opinion turned around after it, the political right skyrocketed from virtually zero to 10-20% depending on the state, it concussed the political landscape in Germany maybe for decades.
