Civics: Truthiness and crime statistics
Just one problem: At this very moment, a D.C. police commander has been suspended and is getting investigated for allegedly tweaking crime stats to make them look lower than reality.
And D.C.’s police union says that his suspension is just the tip of the iceberg. The union says its investigation has revealed that cops all over the city are routinely pressured by command staff to downgrade felonies so they don’t appear on the MPD or FBI’s violent crime database statistics.
How much of the “crime drop” is just Democrat machine politicians lying to the public?
