MSNBC Tom Costello did a great job in dispelling Trump’s lie about Democratic cities being crime-infested compared to Republican-run cities. A segment like this is well overdue.

Tom Costello obliterates another Trump Lie

Donald Trump continued to lie to Americans about crime-infested cities run by Democrats. Tom Costello, in a well-done report, dispels the notion that it has anything to do with Party affiliation. Moreover, here is a pertinent piece from BBC News.

As of September 2020, the top 100 largest US cities are run by 64 Democrats, 28 Republicans, three independents and four non-partisans. Mr Trump has blamed Democrats for high rates of violent crime in cities they control. But the FBI has warned against using its statistics in a way which ranks cities and oversimplifies what causes crime.

“These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mould crime in a particular town, city, county, state, tribal area, or region,” it says on its website. “Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents.”

Mr. Trump has also said that Democratic-run cities are “rampant with crime”, but some of the fastest increases in murder rates are in Republican-run cities. Data from local police departments does show stark increases in Democratic-run Chicago and New York. But that’s also a trend seen in some Republican-run metropolitan areas.

Lexington in Kentucky, a city of over 300,000 people, has seen 84.6% increase in murders when compared with the same period in 2019, for example. “Murder is up about 25% nationally including nearly identical change in Democratic and Republican-run cities,” says US crime analyst Jeff Asher.

Spread the truth. Law and order? Fix the virus, the economy will follow, and the crime rate will go down.

    93 % of all protests against police violence against blacks has been peaceful, stated a report prepared with the assistance of Princeton University.

    I’m still trying to figure out how cities burned to the ground every day “for years”, given the protests started in earnest after George Floyd died on May 25, 2020. Or is Trump measuring years via the lifespan of a fruit fly?
    For that matter, how does one burn ashes without some rather exotic and dangerous chemistry? The only way I’m aware of doing that is to use something like fluorine trichloride, which could more likely oxidize the chemist working with it before it could get to interact with the ashes.
