Trump Says Crime Numbers Are Fake

[Seran]

I’m fortunate enough to live in an affluent & gated neighborhood in Dallas, TX. The only crime that ever happens in my immediate neighborhood is punk teenage kids of well-to-do families doing punk teenage things like minor vandalism & theft of items left in unlocked cars on the street. Even that is very rare. My neighborhood is also heavily populated by Jews and is/was the historical concentration of them in Dallas (though it’s much more diverse today vs 20+ years ago). Being close to University of Texas at Dallas has me a little cautious with the pro-Hamas riots on campus, but otherwise my neighborhood would be a poor evaluation of crime in the city. Others and the majority of residents of the city are not so fortunate.

We’ve had our fair share of leftists judges & prosecuting attorneys that practice bail reform ($0 or low bail amount for crimes). We have leftist city council members that are actively trying to abolish single family residence zoning in the name of racial justice, which would make it so any home could be turned into a duplex / quadplex & rented to multiple tenants. The homeless population in the city has skyrocketed in the last few years and you see more of them panhandling all over the city. There were certain neighborhoods that were previously cleaned up years ago (Deep Ellum for example) that have now fallen back into decay & crime ridden. Judging by what I see for myself on a daily basis not using statistics, overall crime is slowly getting worse every year.

Way to imply that your perception of local events somehow overrides the credibility of the published statistics by the FBI showing crime is dropping.

Way to fail to realized that 83% is 17% less than 100%.
