    Crime statistics have decreased because cops have STOPPED arresting criminals they know will just be released! Look at this and tell me crime in NYC is dropping:

    And that affects the number of actual HOMICIDES...

    ...how, exactly, sunshine?

    Look at this and tell me crime in NYC is dropping: https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/

    How does a map of current conditions prove anything about change over
    time, Sunshine?

    Not possible for SHOOTINGS, either. Most medium and large modern cities like Paris, London and NY have special microphones near outdoor street cameras that pick-up gun-shot sounds, some even in-doors.

    So, what makes TomS guess that there is undetected murder or gunfire? Or how else would he explain his 'guessing'?

    That's all that matters, TomS. You can't guess why.

    Boo Hoo can always be relied on to come up with the dumbest responses
    and have no clue why.

    Only Betty could claim a correlation between less arrests and less
    homicides.
