Truth is Trump’s Greatest Weapon – WaPo Tries Debunking Claim The Democrats Run Most Dangerous Cities – Fail Miserably…
Posted on June 27, 2020 by sundance
The Washington Post attempted to debunk President Trump for saying “the most dangerous cities are run by democrats.” After an extensive effort, and a voluminous article reviewing all manner of methodology for citation, this is what they came up with:

    A quick fact check shows that Trump is at least mostly correct. One ranking says the top 20 most dangerous cities are run by 18 Democrat mayors and two mayors who were elected in nonpartisan races

    When your party can’t win big city mayoral races, I guess the consolation is that you can blame the other party for crime.

    Who’s fault is it?

    Is it poor leadership or are you saying that blacks are just violent super predators, by nature?

    Maybe cities have more crime than large, unpopulated patches of dirt. It’s been true for centuries.

    “ Crime decreased in San Diego by 1.3% in 2019 which city leaders Friday credited to a "landmark contract agreement" and aggressive recruitment efforts to bolster the San Diego Police Department.

    San Diego Police Department Chief David Nisleit said that while homicides increased from 2018 to 2019, all other violent crimes — including sexual assaults, robberies and aggravated assaults — declined“

    Pretty impressive for a metropolitan area that basically includes Tijuana, MX.

    But yes, we all understand that more murders occur in large metropolitan areas, as opposed to vast wastelands. Thanks for the provocative insight, counselor.

    You must be a really shitty lawyer. What do you practice again?

    “ SAN DIEGO COUNTY PROPERTY CRIME RATE AT 40-YEAR-LOW, VIOLENT CRIMES ALSO DOWN
    The report found that although the region's population has increased 80% over the past 40 years, the relative number of reported crimes has decreased significantly.

    SAN DIEGO — Property crime in San Diego County reached a new 40- year low in 2019, according to a report released today.

    Property crime rates had also reached a 40-year low in 2018, but kept dropping in 2019 to set a new mark, according to the San Diego Association of Governments' Criminal Justice Research Division.

    The agency's report, "Forty Years of Crime in the San Diego Region: 1980 Through 2019," found that although the region's population has increased 80% over the past 40 years, the relative number of reported crimes has decreased significantly.

    In 2019, there were 16.48 property crimes per 1,000 people, 3% lower than in 2018 and 74% lower than in 1980, when SANDAG began reporting regional crime statistics.

    There were 7,694 burglaries reported in 2019 -- a new 40-year low -- compared to 8,267 in 2018, according to the report. Larceny also reached a 40- year low, dropping 2% from 38,815 in 2018 to 37,855 in 2019.

    The most common type of larceny crime in 2019 was theft from inside motor vehicles (37%), followed by theft from buildings (25%) and shoplifting (14%).

    Motor vehicle thefts saw an uptick last year, rising from 9,587 in 2018 to 9,681.

    An average of $539,000 was stolen in the region per day in 2019, with 34% eventually recovered by law enforcement.

    The county's 2019 violent crime rate was down 1% from the 2018 rate of 3.41 per 1,000 people. There were 86 homicides in 2019 -- one fewer than in 2018 -- and 2,889 robberies -- 91 fewer than in 2018.”

    It’s almost like having more well-trained police means less criminals on the street and vice versa.

    San Diego is a pretty big city, and Republican-run. What are they doing there that others can’t seem to figure out?

    “In 2017, the Federal Bureau of Investigation named San Diego as the safest big city in the country with respect to its homicide rate in 2016. The violent crime rate of the city in 2017 was 3.7 per 1,000 people, the lowest among the ten most populous cities in the country.“
    Whatever the secret is, he should share it with the mayors of Fort Worth and Miami.

    Text book example of leftwing politics. Don't judge us by our outcomes, judge us by our intentions. Give us power but don't hold us accountable.

    If leftists get rid of bail and release people who have committed crimes without serving a day in jail, if they refuse to prosecute shoplifting and property crimes along open air drug use and public urination and defecation, and allow and encourage a general sense of lawlessness and anarchy to proliferate in many areas of major cities that they control entirely, who should be blamed Dazzler? Society?
