        Really? "Probably post-ferguson de-policing" - I expect a stronger analysis from a science proponent, this is ridiculous.

        Still lower than 1960s-09? Give the liberal war on law enforcement more time.

        It fell significantly after Bill Clinton's crime bill went into effect. Those damn liberals.

        It's doubtful that Clinton's crime bill had much of anything to do with crime levels.pic.twitter.com/YVzkX7VFrr

        No - actually it's not. Otherwise you would've provided empirical evidence to support that.

        Burden of proof falls on those who assert that a cause has an effect.

        @SamHarrisOrg @FBI Btw, they were only making recent comparisons between 2015 thru 2016. Definitely, not going back to 1960-90's.

        hum! Though you were a scientist. Probably pro-ferguson? Crime deserves a better analysis unless your attempting to make a point.
