The Democrats’ Crime Data Delusion ~ Data …What Data?

Opinion

Folks, it’s time to cut through the nonsense and get real about the state of crime reporting in this country. The Democrats and their media allies are out here trying to convince you that violent crime is on the decline. They want you to believe that their policies are making your neighborhoods safer. But let me tell you, the numbers they’re peddling are as reliable as a three-dollar bill.

Here’s the hard truth: 32% of police departments across the nation are not reporting any crime data to the FBI.

That’s right, a third of our law enforcement agencies are completely silent. Now, let’s add another layer to this cake – 24% of departments are only reporting partial data. Maybe they got tired, or maybe they’re just as fed up with the bureaucratic nonsense as the rest of us. Whatever the reason, that leaves us with only 44% of police departments providing a full picture.

And this is the data the Democrats want to use to back their policies? Seriously? They’re building castles in the air with numbers that don’t even cover half the country accurately. It’s like trying to judge a book by reading the dust jacket – you’re not getting the whole story.

Let’s put this into perspective. The FBI used to have almost every law enforcement agency on board, reporting in a system that, while not perfect, gave a fairly comprehensive look at crime across the United States. But then they decided to switch things up in 2021, rolling out a new system that’s now riddled with holes. And here we are, in 2022, with massive gaps in crime data. The Marshall Project noted that “By 2020, almost every law enforcement agency was included in the FBI’s database.”

But look at us now – we’ve got a third of agencies missing in action.

So, next time you hear a talking head on TV or a politician at a rally spouting off about how crime is decreasing, remember this: their so-called “evidence” is built on incomplete, inconsistent, and frankly unreliable data. They’re cherry-picking stats to fit their narrative, and they’re hoping you won’t notice the gaping holes in their story.

It’s time to be honest with the American people, even when the truth is uncomfortable. As someone who’s been around the block a few times, let me give it to you straight: real safety doesn’t come from playing games with numbers. It comes from strong, consistent law enforcement and policies that support our police, not undermine them. Top that off with well-armed American citizens, and that equals a safer America.

So, don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes. Demand better. Demand the truth. And don’t settle for anything less.

This data is as clear as day, folks. And it’s high time we started calling it what it is – a smokescreen to cover up the real issues at hand. Let’s get back to the basics: full transparency, full reporting, and policies that actually protect and serve. Anything less is just another Washington pipe dream.

Remember, stay vigilant and keep your powder dry.
