The statistics you presented are just one side of the coin. I can cite the FBI and the NY City mayor's office. According to the FBI, there are no conclusive statistics as of yet. According to according to the New York City Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, "the number of shootings doubled in the neighborhood of East New York (from 51 to 102) and nearly tripled in Brownsville (from 34 to 96). Both communities have been hot spots of violence for more than a quarter century."

And according to the FBI, an incomplete data shows that violent crime fell by an estimated 1% in 2021 compared with the previous year. However, the number of murders increased by more than 4%.

So, sir, crime is crime. And are you aware that something new has sprouted in NYC and other cities in the country? Security guards at several high-end stores say they feel like sitting ducks as thieves loot their stores in broad daylight with no consequences. As well as in drug stores, and supermarkets. Prices have risen because of that. We pay much more for everything now....
