These crime stats are being used in such bad faith. “Crime metrics have fallen and all it took was armed soldiers on every street corner. Curious!”

Anyone got a cost-benefit analysis on how much having these armed soliders walking around is? It's probably a helluva lot more expensive than the crime reduction that happens from either efficient policing at the local level, or good programs to fight poverty.

Someone else on here said it but why not seal everyone in their homes, indefinitely? That'll make the number go even lower. Why not just cull 50% of the population, with every alternating child born? Even better number! Sucks that white people will probably fall for this shit.

Crime is lower in Canada because we know better not to waste anyone's time reporting it

It’s also August in DC. The crooks are all on holiday.
