  1. Yes stats can be manipulated. Years ago i worked in a business where one night somebody stole a $1,000 typewriter out of an office. The Chicago police came to take a report and classified it as “Theft of lost or mislaid property" rather than a straight theft that would be reportable on FBI stats. This would not be creative report writing, this would be a top down policy to underreport for the entire city.

  2. Change felony’s to misdemeanors
    Done

  3. THEY CAN AND ARE TO PLAY THE BLAME GAME WITH SUCCESS.

  4. Since when do Criminals get treated better than a Regular Abiding Citizen?. This is crazy. He needs to lock up the real criminals. 🤦🏽‍♀️

  5. Hell yes crime stats like any other stats can be manipulated. If there's not enough police to handle all the calls, a city will have a lower crime rate. Some areas are only responding to specific crimes due to staffing. No police report or charges = no crime stats

  6. I went to NYC in January for work and I hated being in that toilet

  7. The FBI itself manipulates crime statistics. I remember when they redefined the Washington DC metro area by including the 10 surrounding counties, most of which are wealthy suburbs. Magically, the official DC crime rate plummeted as a result.

  8. All stats can be jury rigged thats one of the things the biden administration does best. The left changes stats everyday to thier favor business as usual the most corrupt organizations in the world

  9. plus the massive upturn in unreported crimes. normal people just can't be bothered as nothing will be followed up, anyway. 👎🏽

  10. ABSOLUTELY, LOOK AT NYC, THEY LIE ALL THE TIME !!!!!

  11. He is NOT doing his job.. FIRE him.. put someone in that office that will do there job and not just get paid to be a anti – trump screaming moron.

  12. And for the corrupt police officer, thanks for coming to tell us you never did your job while being paid.

  13. Trump is a criminal in New York so he is prosecuted.

  14. Everything can be manipulated.

  15. They refuse to prosecute criminals in blue Hell Holes and then claim the crime rate is down. Sounds about right for Democrats.

  16. As long as Democrats are in power, I don't trust ANY stat or poll.

  17. Leftists have been pushing fake narratives for decades. They have no choice but to fake the data at this point or their whole narrative falls apart. Everyone knows the black community has become the most racist and violent demographic in our society. Unfortunately, we don't need statistics to see it.

  18. Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    What makes up 13?
    As well as 52?

  19. It should be a requirement for the state DA TO CHANGE local DA who lets criminals off or down grade charges. With aiding and abetting as that is what yhey are doing.

  20. Yes it can the falling ones are back

  21. Yes. The Democrat mayor in my town claims homicides, and crime are down. The reason for this is the police are on stand down, reactive, and a lot of lesser crimes are not pursued or even prosecuted. Criminals return to the street quickly and crimes occur again. Madness.

  22. Police stats were a thing in Chicago 30 years ago when they started, what the newspapers called, "Killing Crime." But everyone that can read has left Chirack since and now no one cares.

  23. It is a shame what the Deep State has done to this man. Trump is an OUTSIDER just like Us.

  24. Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

  25. Absolutely. Everything can

  26. Dems embolden criminals to cover up their own criminals syndicate activities.

  27. Everything can be manipulated, that's why some people are Anarchists.

  28. They want to bring the value down to sell low its a bad city means prices go down no one wants to buy treasonous acts to weaken AMERICA and devalue AMERICA

  29. LOOK FOR BRAGG TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT WITHIN 20 YEARS.

  30. Your jacket is hurting everyone’s eyes.

  31. Is there anything that can't besides the Lord God Almighty ?

  32. Lies, damned lies, statistics and vote counting?

  33. thank you paul mauro !!! i had not looked at it that way !!! YOU ARE CORRECT !!! everything is being manipulated and we are being lied to so why not crime stats !!!

  34. Stats are always manipulated becasue people ignore history, science, logic, and reality. For instance "mass shootings" and "children killed by firearms" these days. They ignore that both of these categories are high because of the impact on children in gangs along with gang violence. This is also why the black population has such a high violent crime rate. However, thr progressive pushes the idea that it is only firearms are the problem.

  35. You can’t shame a shameless POS like Bragg

  36. I believe what my eyes tell me, not what the media wants to say, specially under Biden.

  37. There is more empathy for the criminals and the cops than the victims.

  38. Most crimes are going unreported at this point. They need to adjust for this.

  39. Absolutely they can. One of the ways they do this is by doing cashless bail and not filing charges like NY, CA, IL, etc.

  40. crime in Democrat governed cities is out of control.

  41. Calculated punishment.

  42. Why not, the population of the country is.
