The Great Crime Numbers Switcheroo: What You Need to Know

The FBI has made a shocking change to its crime statistics, which could have serious implications for President Biden's legacy on public safety. The new numbers reveal that violent crimes actually increased by 4.5% in 2022, compared to the previous year. This change adds nearly 80,000 violent crimes to the tally, making it seem like crime rates are rising. But why did the FBI make this change? The reason is simple: they wanted to give President Biden a better chance at celebrating his success on reducing crime. The original numbers showed a 2.1% decrease in violent crimes from 2022 to 2023. However, when you look closer, it's clear that something fishy went down. The FBI changed the numbers to make it seem like crime rates are decreasing, but what about the other data points?

The Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey paints a very different picture. According to this alternative source, total violent crime victimization increased by 55.4% during Biden's tenure. This includes a significant rise in rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults. Even murder rates are up 9.6% compared to pre-pandemic levels. It's clear that the media has been too quick to accept the FBI's new numbers without doing their due diligence. They only acknowledge alternative data points when fact-checking Trump's claims, dismissing them as insignificant. But Americans across the country know that crime rates are rising, and it's time for our leaders to take notice. As more police departments stop reporting data altogether (21% didn't report anything in 2023), it's essential that we demand transparency and accountability from our leaders on this critical issue. We can't let the media control the narrative any longer; it's time for us to take charge of our own lives.
