Don’t make Walmart fight crime: Boot out killer leftist politicians

This article is a reminder that EVERY CRIME has the potential of violence. Not that shoplifting in more violent then murder, but shoplifters can be violent especially when they believe they are entitled and don’t have to obey the law or authority.

As the shoplifting crisis continues, Walmart’s asking workers to intervene with thieves. But it’s the pro-crime politicians in New York, Chicago and elsewhere who need to step up.

Philly police want to relax reading and fitness requirements for new cops

Standards & Policy don’t change because of an emergency situation. This will only create a problem.

City leaders wrote to state officials that Philadelphia should be permitted for three years to set its own reading and fitness standards that are less stringent than the ones dictated by the state.

St. Louis Cop Sabotaged His Own Cases to Undermine a Prosecutor — ProPublica

This is an interesting response to a DA’s “No Testify List”. There is no due process for cops on these lists & once you’re on this list you never get removed. Oh yeah Lawyers lie too and there is no list for them.

Across the country, police have undermined and resisted reform. To protest a prosecutor, one detective was willing to let murder suspects walk free, even if he’d arrested them and believed that they should be behind bars.

Did Gun Violence Actually Surge in 2022? – by Jeff Asher

Trying to make sense of NCVS 2022.

I think that a possible cause for the disparity could be that official violent crime data might be lower because Cities have a police manpower shortages causing delays in police response. The result could be victims leaving the scene before the police arrive. There would be a 911 call indicating a violent crime but no police report. The initial call might be changed or downgraded because the victim was GOA/UTL (gone on arrival/unable to locate). This could cause the NCVS to have an artificial increase over police data.

Read Jeff Asher’s and see how my theory fits.
