Why would crime drop from 2017-2022 if BLM or lax prosecutors are to blame? Why us crime also higher today in conservative states and districts if this is a political problem?[/quote]

The population went up 100k people during that same period. Of course raw numbers would increase. It is also not a linear increase and not linked to any prosecutorial or political changes.[/quote]

In 2022, the DC murder rate was 30 per 100,000 residents. Statistically speaking this isn't any different from DC's 2006 murder rate of 29 per 100,000. As an aside, I moved to DC in 1994; the murder rate that year was 70 per 100,000 residents. Now, that's a statistically significant change.[/quote]
