"are murdering" implies that it continues to happen on an ongoing basis. "on a regular basis" is moving goalposts, but not moving them very far.

- emehrkay 12y ago"The ny police is murdering..." doesn't make much sense in English. And it has happened more than once. The other time I can think of is when they killed the guy in times square.
- seanflyon 12y agoThe difference between "murdered" and "is/are murdering" is that the "murdering" implies that either it is happening at this very moment (which is clearly not the case here) or it happens on an ongoing basis.
