I've been saying this for years and nobody on any side cares, they just want to be angry about something. Crime fell steadily from '93-'16 (except MA, crime started falling a little later than '93 there), and only had a slight uptick from 2016-now, still not at pre-'93 levels though. Looks like as per the article that pop is ending. I think the biggest problem there is the 24hr news cycle even existing, and the fact that they try to keep you enraged and watching by pushing only shit that'll make you angry enough to come back and watch more.
Well I for one am fucking done with it, give me a 24hr happy/uplifting news channel and I'll consider watching.
