Yesterday he sounded like Kamala Harris trying to convince us how good Bidenomics is for everyone, with his crime is down schtick. I had to stop listening…

It’s NOT down, so stop telling us it is!

I’ve got 97 shootings/murders/stabbings so far for this year. These have just been the ones that have made the news (publicly released)

However, I believe this number is low. For example, there has been shootings and even deaths that have all appeared on the TOPs system that have never been released. In addition, there have been a few times when the system was down. One instance was when multiple organizations were noted at a crime scene (via social media) but it never showed up on TOPs or was reported in the media.

In addition, the media isn’t even talking about the other issues… just in the last 24 hours, a sexual battery at Tom Brown Park and a kidnapping at another City park.

Think there is a lot more going on, and don’t really believe that crime is getting better. It’s just being reported less, because we are in election season.
