I'd also call out - don't let police spin this.
Was just reading about how my city's police force is demanding more money after the rise of vandalism and other crime.
Millennials are ruining crime, and they can't blame this one on a lack of disposable income. Go stick up a liquor store, ya lazy bums.
I'm doing my part by taping Monday Night Football without the expressed written consent of ESPN or the National Football League.
You absolutely can. Can't kill your s/o if you rely on their income to live.
Fox gonna spin this as criminals being too broke to crime or something
Criminals have given up crime and have become woke!1!1
Shocking Murder Vic Confession: "I didn't even know I was dead.Thats how good they are."
The moment a brown guy kills a person in bumfuck nowhere, they'll use that story for weeks about savages and how these monsters can disturb white folks way of life a thousand miles away.
Yay! Also has me wondering about “white collar” crime.
Estimated $50b in wage theft against workers per year I'm thinking white collar isn't being included.
I wonder if we have any statistics for non-violent crime like theft, grocery stores keep going on about rising pretty theft and I have my doubts.
police are doing historically less investigating of crimes ever since BLM told them to quit their jobs.
or maybe:
police are committing much less murder ever since they all started being required to wear body cameras
My takeaway: Police do less work... Violent crime down.
Looks like the crime was doing itself!
Party of the rule of law… wait…
Maybe not violent crime, but, Trump is doing his personal damnedest to boost the crime rate.
Lock him up!
Sort of a joke that white collar crime never seems to get a mention in hysterical news blotter crime statistics.
Yet, it carries the highest value. (no disrespect to human lives lost).
Is this more confirmation of the Lead Crime Hypothesis? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis)
Imagine how much crime would drop if we had basic housing and income for everyone!
Turns out we already have some clear data, and don't need to speculate.

Sweet I've seen a few of those! I was hoping someone had them on hand =)
Thanks for sharing man!
I was curious,too. So I put a more or less direct quote of your question in DDG. :-D
Thanks! <3
Everyone is too busy complaining on the internet to do crimes
And Republicans will still act like crime is at an all time high because all they watch is Fox News and Newsmax.
Yeah, well. Ignoring the crime done by Republicans will do that.
