Removing money to subsidize additional patrolling in rich areas ... interesting

Default dropped cases

Keep in mind that all cities have to drop cases even without investigating. Also only about 20% of criminal complaints result in any kind convitiction. Why would they single out The sex cases? Are the other cases not important? We have a growing problem where the media and government are using sex crimes as a way to mitigate the gravity of other crimes. Every one of those crimes should be prosecuted equally.

I read the other cases were less severe... property theft, etc. I think we can all agree that sex crimes are more violent than property theft.

What I don't understand is why the.victims let these cases go uninvestigated. That would be a signal to me that they were not that important. I guarantee you if I call the police about something I'm going to ensure it is looked into.

One of the reasons they did this was to be able to claim that the crime rates were down.

No prosecutions, no crime rate increase.

It's magic!

Your government has failed you. Every responsible citizen who can legally purchase and safely operate a firearm should go and buy one today. Learn how to use it. Pray you don't have to.

You are on your own.
