I wasn't aware that there was a suppressed arrest rate at this time. From what I read in the article I don't think it's because the police don't want to arrest, I think it's because once an arrest has been made there appears to be little action. As I said I haven't really kept up with arrest rates or anything of that nature and this was kind of the first I've heard of it. But I do find it telling that there may be some kind of correlation between a lower rate and police retiring or quitting out of frustration if that's indeed the case.
In discussing the possible causes in recent instances of violent crime, this seems to ring true. The perfect storm.
Webster added, "It's particularly challenging to know with certainty which of these things independently is associated with the increased violence. Rather it was the 'cascade' of events all unfolding in a similar time frame.
Hopefully most of you noticed the little print reading "Highest since 2020", etc...
Hope you got paid.
I'm salaried, I'd notice a shortage.
Big shot
Great find, Snake.

You could ask your real estate agent, “Is this a good neighborhood?” But don't expect a straight answer.
Your agent isn't purposely giving you the run-around. Certain details about a neighborhood or community can violate the Fair Housing Act, which was enacted in 1968 to eliminate housing discrimination. The law protects against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability or family status. In particular, it prohibits any real estate professional from steering prospective homebuyers or renters toward or away from a community based on any of the classes under federal protection.
Removing crime stats may or may not have anything to do with the fair housing act, but crime isn't exclusive to certain demographics. For example, if I was looking at buying a home in Westlake, I don't need to look at crime stats. The housing prices and the actual neighborhood tells me enough. Even if I was moving across country to NY, I'd not need to know crime stats to know which neighborhoods are safer than others. It's readily apparent in the upkeep.
What isn't a manufactured moral panic these days?
There's a giant contingency of the youth today that seems to work hardest at fabricating elaborate facades that paint them to be victims in almost every imaginable way. There are hundreds of thousands of young youth today, completely ignoring their first world privilege, crying about self-indulged issues that make them victims. Too many to name to go down the rabbit hole.
I'm the first to say it's a two-sided street/coin, etc. in this regard, but you're dismissal of Teysha, one of the few genuine posters here, as you once were, is just a byproduct of the biases you've put on display recently as you try and combat the same 1-2 people who trigger you.
We have "moral panics" about EVERYTHING in this society and a lot of those manufactured, moral panics are backed by today's youth on both sides of the coin.
You're advocating that cat smells better than dog . Not that that comparison doesn't hold true to this entire board, but it's a giant glare coming off the top of someone like you- seemed like an objective poster. RGItis as it is known from here on.
You don't have to hide some things, you can flat out eliminate the obstacles that make the truth less hurtful to the tribalists.
Case in point, California, the richest state in the nation, again, bragged about the surplus of billions in tax revenues while addressing the fact that California completely refuses to return public education budgets to 2009 budgets, even with inflation to consider. California has a bottom 5 public education and hasn't resumed music or similar creative arts to most school budgets and has an abysmal and unacceptable graduation rate, but have no problem adding to the curriculum things that have zero consensus science to back them such as their takes on gender and cross dressing, social commentary moreso than proven science and fact.
So, how do they address their inexcusable public education while they hoard and brag about the riches they've drained from a suffering general public? Remove Ds and Fs from their grading scale and now are allowing, in some instances, endless retakes of Finals and major exams they don't pass, just so they can pass these unprepared students as to not look as the statistics prove. The excuse? Students are taught to learn the curriculum but "most students test poorly and testing isn't the best way to gauge how a student comprehended the subject matter". And the question these same educational "Experts" completely ignore, dodge or refuse to answer is, "how do you measure how well a student has absorbed and mastered the subject material if they aren't tested?".
1st world privilege ignores the obvious and enables the stupid, weak and selectively incapable to continue a selective narrative in the name of "feelings". We live in sad times in a society incapable of addressing the objective issues plaguing us.
I don't believe I was promoting any kind of , you just got defensive about the I called out for some reason.
As for objectivity, there is no value-neutral perspective. Pretending there is effectively hides bias.
Fwiw, I don't think I brushed Teysha off, I replied to his post and showed appreciation for his response to my reply. We just don't agree, is all.

Beaumont and Lubbock are as dangerous as East Chicago on this list.
Washington DC is #80.
NYC isn't in the top 100 most dangerous cities, and neither is San Francisco.

Chicago has a problem with lying cops.
https://www.propublica.org/article/c...criminal-casesThe state’s attorney’s office in July made public its list of officers in Cook County who it has barred from testifying in criminal cases — more than 300 officers in all, the vast majority of them from the Chicago Police Department. About 60 officers were added this year, and the office adopted a new policy last month that spells out prosecutors’ duty to disclose its problematic witnesses to defendants.
The collapse of Kriv’s cases shares some similarities with the problematic DUI arrests made by Chicago police officer John Haleas nearly 20 years ago. Even after the police administration confirmed that Haleas had falsified reports in DUI arrests, he remained on duty. (In fact, he is still a Chicago police officer, though he was later convicted of attempted obstruction of justice and the department tried to fire him.)
& that's the problem you have when you bestow -officer of the court- status to EVERYBODY. Therein their word is bond.
