Reply to comment by kanooker in Eric Adams blames bail reform for everything—here are 4 cases where he was wrong or lied. by kanooker
Somebody posted here yesterday that cops went on strike in 2014 but crime went down anyway. Now people are saying they're on strike and crime is up. I can't wrap my head around all these crazy theories!

This is what police do to fight reform
>The officers’ colleagues responded by pulling back on the job, doing only the bare minimum in the following weeks. In the resulting void, crews seized new drug corners and settled old scores. Homicides surged to record levels and case-closure rates plunged. “The police stopped doing their jobs, and let people fuck up other people,” Carl Stokes, a former Democratic city councilor in Baltimore, told me last year. “Period. End of story.”

You realize the arrest rates declined because of a change of political environment and legalization of marijuana and other low level stuff? Or did you think you were going to get away with posting a pretty little chart as if it made some kind of point?

Where in the world are you talking about? You've heard every big city politician and district attorney use the word decriminalization. What do you think that means?
kanooker OP t1_iwmjpbp wrote
I think I showed you they aren't doing their jobs. It's their job to arrest people. They aren't arresting people for major crimes, not just the shop lifting you're talking about. But this is all about blaming Democrats so you'll find a way. Notice I'm blaming cops. Who don't have to be part of any party.

You're clinging so hard to your beliefs that you refuse to consider a possibility you are interpreting data wrong. If you want to isolate the index crime arrest rate going down since 2001, the statistic is meaningless without comparing it to the decline of actual reported index crimes in the same city during the same 20-year period.

So you're going to cite data, until it doesn't agree with you, then it's a conspiracy lollllll
