"homeless crime is out of control" ... actually studies show the cops just over police that population and assholes report unhoused people nearly nonstop even when no crimes are happening
"retail theft is taking over" ... actually studies show that while the theft has gone up it's not really more than there was about a decade ago
"violent crime is exploding because people are mad at cops" ... it's actually because cops did a slowdown strike for years and new declines in numbers indicate it might be due to community initiatives to intervene in situations before they get violent unlike what happened during pandemic isolation
"decriminalizing drugs is costing lives" ... no, drug addiction is killing people equally regardless of decriminalization efforts
it's all fucking propaganda!
