Progressives across the country celebrated when the FBI released what was believed to be the “final” crime numbers for 2022 in September, showing a decrease in overall national violent crime.
However, it was later discovered that the 2022 numbers were entirely fabricated, casting doubt on the credibility of the 2023 figures released by the bureau.
An observant individual noticed an obscure reference to an “update” on the bureau’s website, revealing that the initially reported crime drop in 2022 was actually an increase.
This revelation exposed the falsehoods that were spread by liberals and leftists who used the inaccurate statistics to downplay concerns about rising crime due to pro-crime policies.
The revised data showed a national increase in violent crime by 4.5%, contradicting the initial claim of a 2.1% decrease in 2022.
The significant swing of 6.6 percentage points highlights the alarming reality of more violent crimes occurring than previously acknowledged.
The unreliable nature of the FBI’s crime data raises doubts about the accuracy of the 2023 numbers and the bureau’s ability to manage statistics effectively.
Speculation arises regarding the motive behind the erroneous data, with some suggesting political influence to benefit certain individuals or agendas.
Despite the controversy, the undeniable increase in murder rates over the years emphasizes the severity of the situation and challenges the notion of legalizing crime for the sake of equity.
Alternate sources like the Census Department provide conflicting data, showing a substantial rise in crime for 2022 and 2023, further complicating the narrative presented by the FBI.
Ultimately, the truth about escalating crime rates is overshadowed by ideological agendas, disregarding the tragic consequences faced by communities affected by urban decay.
