The word "crime" here means poor folk crime. Nothing noted about unrelenting wealthy-white-collar shit, which is possibly having its state sponsored moment.

MODERATORS
If you were paying attention and weren't too radicalized by this point, you knew at the time what a legislative and impactful victory the Biden American Rescue Plan Act was. Boring, establishment Democrats know that the needle of progress moves slowly, especially in the face of constant, unrelenting GOP obstruction. They lost the messaging war to the youth, whose desire for radical change blinded them while online anti-American propaganda turned them away from Kamala, the only candidate on the ticket able to deliver progress, and give the GOP free reign to ruin all our futures. The villain is still unquestioningly the GOP, but it's time to start critically evaluating the online platforms and pop-up news outlets from which you get your information. Foreign actors tint the information you are receiving to make you hate America. To believe things are worse than they really are, even now. Apathy is the enemy of democracy. The fediverse is well enmeshed in the problem.
How long until Trump takes credit?
I'm pretty sure he did when that FBI report came out during bidens turn while he also explained that it was fake
Many of the criminals learned they can get paid the hurt and kill people by joining ICE.
Yes, though the drop happened before that
Is it less crime happening or just less reporting of the crimes?
In the PNW every LE agency is stretched so thin they won't even show up for vandalism or theft of anything less than $500.
My neighbor discovered that the local sheriff won't send a deputy to write a report after a traffic collision because the other driver who caused it just left.
There are also marginalized groups like immigrant communities who are finding it hard to call LE for fear of ICE.
The same phenomenon persists when you look at things like murder, which tends not to have that problem
Ok ,MAGA
If you read the post, they specifically give credit to the Biden administration...
Need a better source
