Baltimore Hits Grim Milestone of Year's 200th Homicide - Breitbart

I know for a fact, in Philly, there are gun shots every single day, up to 3 shootings a day, but crime is going down?

Right....so what do we do to get tough on crime.....?

Crimes are down everywhere else except for those places where criminals are glorified and martyred.

Crime is down nationally, it's just the media is more extensive now and people have social media venues to share news themselves too. Did you drop out of your statistics class?

Yes, overall crime rates have been going down for decades - but you can still cherry pick certain offenses in certain cities for certain time periods to show otherwise.

I saw some statistics about a week ago showing the only crimes in St.Louis that have dropped are rape and arson. Stealing and killing are wayyyy up.

that isn't true....my sons a cop and crime isn't down at all....none of the cops see this.....

Crime in the U.S. is not down...we're just not paying attention, or, we're not hearing about all of it....

But those graphs are untrue....

Philly got caught once for not reporting crimes...b/c they want to pull people back into the city, the same with any other large city.

I doubt he ever took statistics. If he did, that must be liberal statistics.

Whoah are you actually serious with this? Folks? is this poster serious with this?

I'm like a cow staring at a fence post in the rain. Absolutely befuddled.

You're pulling our leg, right?

Right?
