And so are arrests. A lot, all over. Funny how that works, the cops stop arresting criminals and like magic they shoot fewer of them. Too bad the criminals don’t play by the same rules, homicides up big everywhere and all.

So what's your bottom line point here

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

Crime declined until the political class, backed by the activists and media stupidly decided that blaming the police was the easy way out of the urban disfunction they’ve done next to nothing about for the last 30 years. Turns out the police were the only thing keeping the lid on

Yes, we were actually making progress reducing crime and the prison population and police killings. Then progressives reversed it. But why? To enrich themselves somehow? Budget problems at blue states? Land?

The very decades long improvements is the likely cause. Aggressive policing drove down crime to the point it became counter productive, while misguided notions that the criminal underclass could somehow be deterred by relaxing enforcement have created a vacuum.

Aggressive policing has produced a large number of police murders. Unfortunately for those who lost their lives and their families.

You can drop your stats and graphs all nite long, generated by the same liberal academics and think tanks that support defunding the police and not incarcerating criminals but you’ve lost the narrative. Krasner breezed through the Philly Primary but Boudin won’t be so lucky

I am believe in funding to retrain police, changing the culture AND spending on social justice issues such as jobs and mentoring for youth.
