Reply to comment by BRAD-is-RAD in Providence armed robbery leaves one injured, assailant at large, police say by Previous_Floor

One anecdote? Take a good hard look at what's been going on in 2023. There has yet to be a weekend without a shooting. You're the one attempting to mislead.

It would be insanely stupid to extrapolate two months of data into more meaning than decades of downward trending crime statistics. Another guy posted actual stats the other day, I suggest you unblock him and check them out.

I suggest you take a better look. It has not been downward trending for decades. 2022 was low.

Like I said, take a better look. Those stats are manipulated by including sexual assaults and robberies - which have been way down.

Shootings and stabbings are the issue.
