Lol. You think I'm stupid.... you think their won't be protests because the cops are already charged.

I'm pointing out that this is an incredibly stupid idea since George Floyd's muederer, Derek Chauvin, was fired the day after the murder and arrested 4 days later on March 29.

Since you're clearly an idiot.... here.

Global protests AFTER Derek Chauvin was arrested.

Fair enough.

My issue here is the continual propagation of this false idea that adding cops or giving them more money or letting them torment who they don't like... none of that has been demonstrated to reduce crime.

And yet the media and politicians continue to disingenuously push it. They tried to reduce crime for a YEAR and failed. And now they found a way to cherry-pick the data to make it slightly positive.

Year to date data for 3 weeks is extremely variant. The rolling 30 day is only 15% down and some of that is that ridership always dips in winter.

You'll notice the 2 year trend is up 36%

But my point in using an old article is that crime was historically high 3 months ago SPECIFICALLY.

Most murders in a month in the subway in at least 25 years.

I just don't have the time or resources to conduct an investigation myself.

And largely I don't care. What's thr WORST thing I'm going to discover? Someone close to a BLM charity was stealing money?

Okay. That sucks. I hope they get caught. Changes nothing about BLM for me.
