Crime is interesting depending on who is telling the story. If there is shooting today they'll be a thread started about it and it won't be "crime is down in America" it will be 'oh look another shooting in America' and how many of these occur and how frequent they are etc.
Shootings of course are not good things and crime being down doesn't mean we should be happy in any way with shootings and killings. That said, to use Jarod's line, is it just anti-gun people trying to create a fake world for their fellow anti-gun people to send money to them and the anti-gun candidates they support?
Edit: No disrespect to the OP but MSNBC as a source is about as credible as Fox News. I'm sure there are much better places we can get crime data and analysis than extremely partisan 24 hour news channels.
Cities nationwide not reporting crime data to FBI
Crime is not dropping. Cities are not reporting crimes. The Biden administration made it optional.You fucking liars.
