To ignore this is all part of the designed program to Gaslight the low information folks.

I've had this debate many, many times with the activists here in Seattle. They use the same playbook: compare today's crime rates to some violent time in the 1970's or the 1990's and then claim that See? It's way better than it was then or Population increases explain any increase in crime. That's assuming they admit there's been any crime increase AT ALL.

At no point does anyone want to lay the blame where it belongs:

*Soft on crime laws
*Defunding the police
*Prosecutors who refuse to prosecute
*Judges who hand down light sentences

The rot in blue cities and states runs through all 3 branches of government.

Fortunately, we here in WA state have the initiative process and if you can get enough citizen signatures, you can get stuff on the ballot. We got enough sigs to have the statewide BAN on most police pursuits overturned and the democrat-led legislature was forced to adopt it. Slowly, very slowly, sanity might be trying to return.
