Did hell just freeze over? The left is actually calling out the left for gaslighting people about crime.
The video is pretty decent and goes a bit into how the left likes to fudge the crime numbers. It goes into the differences between the FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR) that pulls data from the police and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) that surveys hundreds of thousands of people. The one thing they did leave out was the fact FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR) used to use the SRS system to collect data but now uses exclusively a new system, NIBRS, which a lot of police agencies haven't switched to and now aren't reporting data. This is way there is now a rather massive disconnect between the UCR and NCVS, where the UCR says crime went down while the NCVS says crime is significantly up. One system changed while the other didn't so the system that didn't change is highly likely to be more accurate.
The fact that the left likes to push that crime isn't up but stores are locking basic items behind cases and disallowing teenagers from shopping doesn't make any sense if crime is actually going down. Also, how is crime going down when governor of New York just called in the National Guard to do illegal and unconstitutional random bag searches of subway riders? Crime is not up at all... nothing to see here.
