If you took the time to read the article, you would understand the reason the crime went down is because crimes, including murders are being systematically reclassified as not crimes.

It’s Chicago under Democratic control. Why didn’t the Democrat Mayor not ask Governor to bring in National guard units under Marshall law? Maybe because racist Democrats plan is extermination of blacks.

“If you took the time to read the article”

Why so testy? I read the article. They are lying or they were in 2014 when this article came out. What else was new during the 8 years of Zero? They lied about EVERYTHING to make themselves look good to the masses. If you took the time to look at HEYJACKASS and clicked where I told you to, you would have seen that they weren’t fooling anyone even in 2014.

The Wire ran 5 seasons on HBO. Here are some clips from the show related to statistical manipulation of crime (warning, some profanity) - though to be fair that’s just one facet of this excellent drama about a Baltimore police detail out to capture the city’s biggest drug dealer(s), and all the politics they deal with from the brass, the city council, the court system, and even their informants and other gangsters.

It’s a little ironic that it takes place in Baltimore, because The Wire had the Freddy Grey issue in one of their episodes years before Grey was ever arrested. Today in Baltimore murders and other violent crime is way up, as the police stopped using plain-clothes cops and unmarked cars in response to complaints about their tactics.

It's not just Chicago and New York - this is happening all over the country.

I talked last year w a retired LEO about this, and it's commonly known to happen in many larger cities throughout the country. (One suspects Dem mayors and govs involved, but one does not know.)

The article, btw, is from 2014, and one suspects that, if anything, the faking of crime states has gotten much worse.

You’re right - very common in democrat run cities. The worst part is the corrupt FBI knows it and still accepts the statistics they know are lies. When Peter Strzok and Page sluts are running the place what can we expect? (hint: corruption, bias, hatred and lies...)
