    Cameras have become more widespread than ever obviously people are going to get a lot less tolerant of the “standard” level of American crime. Even then, ghettoes and petty crime should not be acceptable, America’s crime rates are far above the rest of the developed world.

    Democrats have to address these concerns, with real an effective policies not just waving it off with statistics and virtue signals.

    “crime down” is a very different statement from “crime doesn’t exist anymore” but people insist on treating them as the same thing.

  5. The number of murders on the subway was the highest it’s been in decades. It’s not just the overall number it’s randomness in which they can occur and where they’re happening.
