And still people randomly get assaulted in a supposedly 1st world leading city. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/women-report-assault-incidents-tiktoks-nypd-investigating-rcna145153 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/women-report-assault-incidents-... The reason I post this is because I read it this morning and it's the first thing that pretty much popped in my head here. You guys have a huge gap in policing and enforcement of punishment. It's so blatantly broken and broken on purpose by the left/establishment/politicans/etc.

8 million people in a small area... things are going to happen crime is down overall and the media's job these days is to get clicks... hyping crime is a tried and true way to do that

  Heh what is even worse about crime reporting in the US is the news never really reports on crime rates in small cities and suburban areas. You'll see people arguing online how NYC or whatever big city is a hive of scum and villiany and completely miss the small town they live in has a higher per capita crime rate. It's all a bunch of rage bait built on if it bleeds it leads.

  I honestly think the stats are being twisted and a lot of crime goes un-reported, hence the appearance of crime going down. As much as I hate the media and their constant call-to-outrage, some aspect of what they're now doing is trying to inform people that "there's a problem here".

  Singapore has 6 million and an order of magnitude less crime. Their murder rate is 30-40x lower.

    30-40x murder rate is wildly incorrect. According to 2022 stats I found, Singapore had 7 murders for a pop of 5.6mil (1.25/mil) and NYC had 30 for a pop of 8mil (3.75/mil)... that's 3x. Maybe that's just fewer guns and better mental health supports (whether official or cultural).
