Your Survival Guy has lamented the mismanagement of America’s big blue blob cities, but it may be even worse than you think. The Department of Justice has been examining crime data from cities, and there is apparently evidence that politicians have been skewing their crime data. Charles Gasparino of the NY Post reports:
Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned.
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker — a vocal opponent of Trump’s use of federal troops for both immigration enforcement and fighting big-blue-city crime — has lately touted double-digit declines in Chicago crime rates where “shootings and homicides on our highways are down 60, 70, 80% depending on where you look.”
But the number of felonies in Chicago — not to mention New York, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. — is declining only because woke prosecutors are knocking down felonies to something less severe for political reasons, DOJ sources say.
Famous among them is Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who has continued to allow violent offenders to plead to misdemeanors instead of felonies even after committing robberies or violent assaults.
One Trump DOJ source pointed to the recent case of David Mazariegos, the sword-wielding maniac who was arrested last week for the allegedly unprovoked killing of straphanger Nicola Tanzi, stomping him on the head repeatedly outside a Brooklyn subway station.
Mazariegos has a long criminal record and yet this past July, just before his latest alleged wanton act, an NYC judge lowered his bail in an assault case because prosecutors didn’t charge him with a felony and instead settled for a misdemeanor.
People inside the Trump DOJ say Mazariegos isn’t an outlier, but the norm in big cities run by leftist politicians who are purposely obscuring the results of their lax policing policies.
Action Line: In the summer of 2020, radical politicians gave crime and chaos a green light, and it’s been open season on the innocent and peaceful Americans ever since. In the big blue blob cities, that crime wave has been abetted by Soros-backed DAs and city attorneys who put criminals ahead of their victims.
