[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this in another thread:

'Murder is down 12.7 percent in our YTD murder dashboard as of this writing (December 7th) with a decline in 73 percent of the more than 175 cities with available data. The sample suggests either the largest or one of the largest national declines in murder on record occurred this year (both in terms of percent and absolute decline)."

Yes, DC is an outlier: "Detroit is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1966 and Baltimore and St Louis are on pace for the fewest murders in each city in nearly a decade. Other cities that saw huge increases in murder between 2020 and 2022 like Milwaukee, New Orleans, and Houston are seeing sizable declines in 2023. There are still cities like Memphis and Washington DC that are seeing increasing murders in 2023, but those cities are especially notable because they are the outliers this year, not the norm."

Violent crime is down in most other cities, despite some of them being more liberal than DC and having bigger "defund" cuts than the de-minimus 2.8% cut that MPD got.

Seems to me that police in other cities are doing their jobs.  DC police and prosecutors need to stop making excuses, get on the stick and do their jobs too.[/quote]
