Nobody wants to kill anymore. I guess it’s not woke enough.
When I was a kid I walked uphill, barefoot in the snow to kill!
It would only rain bullets!
Perceptions of crime waves are mostly driven by propaganda, not measurement.
In some cases, a “crime wave” doesn’t represent an undifferentiated mass phenomenon, but rather the behavior of a single organized crime group: it’s not that “everybody is being more criminal today” but rather “there is a specific gang that has figured out how to get away with a lot of crime”. This seems to be the case for a lot of property crime in my part of the country.
Meanwhile, killings perpetrated by police officers continue to rise by significant percentages annually.
But maybe, the rising in police killings kills more murders before they could start their murdering, so the rising in police killings could save more people than the police is killing. /s
I am being murdered at about the same rate I have always been murdered at. This sounds like some fishy data.

It doesn’t help that the news focuses on murders and gun crime over anything else, and provides a megaphone for copaganda with zero analysis. If it bleeds, it leads, even if it’s a lie.
Well not the dead.
still higher than pre-pandemic
