At least try to be consistent.

What curfew is being used to prevent petty crime?

Since when is trying to protect children from shootings, petty crimes?

Whats interesting is the crime rates in the USA have actually dropped by 49% since 1993. The peak of crime in this country was 1989 to 1996. The US homicide rate has dropped from 16K down to 13K since 1996. The amount of crimes committed in the US had dropped significantly the cable news networks were formed due to the increased crime rates. We are fed falsehoods regarding the US crime on the rise and out of control. That isn’t the case.

That is not the case tho. Violent crime is down 50% the last 30 years. Arrests have decreased every year since 2006. There is a rise in firearm deaths with a lot of them suicides. Sorry the US crime rate has been on the decline for 30 years now.

Peak police officer employment peaked in 2008 and declined through 2019.

Homicides spiked in 2020 during trumps last year in office.

What a joke. There isn't a single shred of evidence that lockdowns prevented even one death. in fact, they caused many of the increased suicides and drug overdoses. don't let logic or common sense get in the way of your leftwing dictatorial narrative though

Bingo…but folks believed the media fearmongering and it scared them to death. They won’t acknowledge the huge amount of damage it caused.

Again that is false. Please show evidence otherwise.
