You're all being too clever by half. Crime is up for very real material reasons, not some insane conspiracy about CNN lying to hurt the police abolition movement. That's some Breitbart comment section level shit.
If you were clever, you'd say "wow, despite the increase in police, crime is still up". Or you could simply deny reality because it's nothing but police union propaganda.
:bruh: All everyone is saying is they pick which statistics they emphasize and then do a media blitz because, surprise surprise, the people who own media companies also support the police big-time.
what are the material reasons then? I've seen stats that say theft is down which doesn't make any sense.
Are people just sick of everything so they're murdering others as soon as lockdowns stop and nothing is really done on COVID?
Also notice that CNN isn't using a 5 year rolling average to compare to, instead the most outlier year they could. It's still up but i hate dishonest stats.
Just a general breakdown in society caused by the complete failure of our government and institutions to come up with and enforce a reasonable response. The added stress from job loss, the toll on relationships from being home all day, etc. plays a role.

Nobody is claiming a conspiracy or even disputing the data but thank you for calling me clever

All I'm saying is that it's better to flip the script than to try to cry foul.
Yeah, but you can do both. That guy got the wrong numbers from the video, but he's right that focusing on the increase is bullshit stat-cropping.
Also, this is a discussion forum for leftists, we're not debating chuds here.
Again nobody is denying the veracity of the data you are missing the point big time
