So far in 2017.....murder and violent crime are down after a 2 year spike resulting from the attacks by the democrat party, barak obama, the ACLU and black lives matter against the police...
That is hopefully over now, and our crime rates can continue to go down...
Remember, up until 2015, the murder rate had been going down, in particular, the gun murder rate from the 1990s to 2015 had dropped 49%...as more Americans owned and carried guns........
Notice that the cities mentioned in the story....have been run by democrats for decades...
New FBI Crime Report: Violent Crime Dipped Slightly Last Year
Violent crime in the U.S. decreased slightly in 2017 following two years of dramatic spikes in murders in many major cities, according to new data from the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report.
Nationally, the violent crime rate in 2017 fell by 0.9 percent over 2016, and the murder rate decreased 1.4 percent. Property crime continued a more than 20-year decline. Aggravated assault and rape rates both increased, by 2.2 and .3 percent, respectively.
Meanwhile, a study released last week by the Brennan Center for Justice looked at crime in 30 major U.S. cities for the first half of the year; it too found the numbers coming down. The new figures suggest that violent crime has at least plateaued and may be on its way back down.
began to rise after more than two decades of decline. It was the first time since 2005 and 2006 that the U.S. experienced a consecutive year-to-year rise in violent crime.
