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.

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.

Portland’s Police Staffing Crisis | Manhattan Institute
Like other major cities, Portland, Oregon, has experienced a surge in crime and disorder over the past three years. But unlike other major cities, Portland is uniquely ill-equipped to deal with this problem, because its police department is uniquely understaffed.
