“That’s despite Memphis Police saying crime has decreased”. Do we really trust Memphis Police statistics?

Not at all. No doubt they are playing with the numbers just like they did in DC.

On to Chicago, for no other reason than that the crazies there are against it.

No, we don’t trust much of what this police depart says about statistics because liars figure and figures lie. And the mayor is a liar with his figures.

Think the Memphis Sheriff would be more the one to trust; a sheriff is an elected office, municipal police forces are appointed & most likely to lie/shade the truth for their respective municipal govts since they’re dependent on the municipal govt for their paychecks.

Yes, you can tell the politicly appointed police chiefs in blue cities are corrupt or not allowed to enforce the law. It's why the blue cities are doomed to fail since letting criminals run loose is the chaos socialists depend on. Then Communism swoops in and, voila, we're Cuba. That's the Utopia I want every college student protester to spend a 6 month semester in.

Nope, and since most cities are now reporting Hispanics/Blacks as white, I trust them even less than before. Garbage in/garbage out.

Negroes, being only 14% of the population, commit 70% of violent crime & 50% of all murders. Negroes kill more caucasoids than any other race. In contrast, caucasians killing negroes is almost nonexistent, despite the racist narrative our FAKE NEWS media peddles & political grifters parrot. Both have taken LYING to unheard of heights.

I miss crime statistician Colin Flaherty, who always reported the true stats.

For DOJ/FBI crime statistical purposes only, Hispanics & Asians are considered Caucasian.

There is no such race, homogenous group or even a cohesive group as "hispanic" and its use should be discontinued. The only reason it was created was to create a category so that brown latinos could qualify for welfare benefits as a racial minority. It is another leftwing grift no different than USAID.

That is not true. I am an "brown" American of Mexican descent and my birth certificate states white. I would much rather be referred to Hispanic (not for welfare purposes either than Latina, Chicano or the bulls it Latin X. Actually American would be just fine. 🇺🇸

UncleWiggly's avatar

I prefer we all think of ourselves as Americans, Sylvia. But I am right about why "Hispanic" was created as a racial category. This happened back in 1975 or 76. You can't tell me that other than the Spanish language there are any cultural bonds between, Spanish, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, Dominican Republic people, Chicanos and other Latin American nationalities. There aren't. Latin American activists in the 70s said they needed to create a latino group so they could get the same welfare and other benefits as blacks. The democrats gave it to them It was probably before you were born, but it is a fact none the less. Also, all of those designations are a territory, country or region. Not a single one is a race of people or a single culture.

Sylvia Mourtakos's avatar

You are right in that we do not have any cultural bonds except for the Spanish language. And maybe I should research before I comment but I just wanted to point out that my birth certificate states white. My father was from Spain and my mother from Mexico. I grew up 10 minutes from the Mexican border and everyone including Caucasians spoke Spanish. Thank you for the information. 🇺🇸

09/16/25: Yep!

That's okay, Don. Memphis hasn't set their alarm clock in decades.

President Trump is about to do it for them.

--- "That’s despite Memphis police recently reporting decreases..."

The second I see the word "decreases"/"decreased," I know that they're keeping two sets of books on crime stats.

[Democrats: "Killing black people is GOOD!" Their only pretense is their "sorrow" that in a very small percentage of events, they're not killed by other black people. Given their ability to eventually shed all pretense, watch that vanish some day.]

--- It's AP once again. Those two letters signal, "Automatically Preposterous":

"Still, Memphis has dealt with stubborn gun violence problems for years. In 2023, the city set a record with more than 390 homicides."

"More than": As in 500 murders? 750? 1,250?

How nice of them to round it off for us. How convenient, as well.

--- Ban All Double Negatives:

NY Times: "Fisher does not believe that walking in Memphis without fear of being slain is a civil right."

I have no idea what this means and considering the source, don't tell me.

--- "President Trump should bring her [the NJ nurse] to the White House for a photo of the real thing instead of a cardboard cutout."

Why not drive up and visit, say hello (and get a blood pressure reading, but not with her present, that would massively skew the results), and also campaign against the stock-market tip-hearing beneficiary who's running to succeed Governor Goldman Sachs?

Looking at the National Electoral Map, it's almost solid red and you can almost name every city represented by a speck of blue.

Mayors don't want Trump's help because it's an admission that they are either incompetent or simply indifferent to the out of control crime in their cities. How or why they continue to be re-elected is a question. It'll be interesting to see how Karen Bass fares in LA next year as she's already announced she's running again. In a sane world, she'd lose in a landslide to practically anyone.

Lest we forget: I believe Bill Clinton meant well, I believe G.W. Bush meant well, but 2008 changed the direction of the country. The first warning sign was a candidate’s pastor who exclaimed:’ “No, no, no, not God bless America, God damn America, that’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people, God damn America, for treating her citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God, and she is supreme.” Possibly the only promise that was made and kept: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” the lightbringer proclaimed. The lamestream media never questioned whether he meant for the better.
