Note: The Crime Fetish Twins now trying to get their trolling thread back on track at 1:30 am. The creepy glow of computer screens is lighting up 2 basements somewhere.
There was a shots fired in broad daylight incident across from the Broad Street entrance to Roger Williams Park. That is a homeless area. You naively questioned that...and I showed you a couple others.
I never said anything about whether it was or wasn't a "homeless" area.
Is this now the "homeless area" thread or the croissant thread?

As noted several times before, the best way to measure whether crime is rising or falling is to compare short term data with longer term averages.
TL;DR: good news, violent crime in Providence continues on its down swing.
... manipulate the data so it always looks like it's gone down.
You should probably call the Providence Police Department about their data issue. Tell them that you are a crime expert, and let them know you are onto their data manipulation.

Nobody is accusing the PPD of manipulating the data. They are accusing YOU of doing so. Homicides are UP over last year. Aggravated assaults, UP.

Those who are accusing me of manipulating the data are clueless. The data is right on the PPD site, and the reader can have a look and decide for themselves. It shows that overall, violent crime was flat for the last year. It also shows that it was down when compared with five year averages. That's the truth.
