Actually there was an in-depth article showing that some of these 'spikes' were due to the way in which things were being reported which was recently changed.

Actually reporting the crime is a good start. We had 3000 car breakins last month in the 7mx7m city of San Francisco. Thats an incredible high and it coincides with a lack of prosecution. The DA is also responsible for improper stats keeping, he even explained how poor of a job he was doing on a clubhouse conference. -> https://twitter.com/cyantist/status/1473038134141063169 https://twitter.com/cyantist/status/1473038134141063169 The DA just purely refuses to prosecute people, even people who end up killing others, he's just so bad.

  Reporting == good. We are agreed. However the majority of us have been subjected to or have created status reports. To claim that we are unable to see how selecting reporting metrics matter and can frame a story would be at best disingenuous.
