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

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.
