The rise in homicides across our state should be alarming to all of us. And while violence has many causes, a big factor is the ready availability of guns. https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Homicides-suddenly-spiked-last-year-in-California-16304461.php … 1/
The drive to curtail police use of force including deadly shootings has had the unintended effect nationwide of slowing down arrests, thus igniting the crime wave we are seeing. The police are reluctant to engage and the criminals know it.

Oh ok. I think that's reasonable, but the decline in police killings has been over the last couple decades and coincided with large decreases in crime and slight decreases in the prison population

Serious tracking of police shootings has only been a recent effort and the numbers have been pretty constant, roughly 1 k a year. Huge drop in arrests the last 2 years and it makes sense the number of police shootings will decline as well. The criminals are safer that’s for sure
