Democrats across the country have been pushing back on President Trump's D.C. crime crackdown, citing statistics purportedly showing that crime in the nation's capital is down or even at historic lows, but an expert who spoke to Fox News Digital is pushing back on that narrative.
"But really what it is is a record of crimes that are reported to the police and then those of those crimes that get reported to the FBI. It's not a full record of all violent crimes, and this is a problem. And the FBI is very explicit about this when they present the data in their formal report every year, where they say, Do not directly compare the data from year to year because there are differences in how frequently people report crimes and how frequently the FBI gets that data from the local police agencies
"Do African Americans at least deserve as many murders and homicides per capita as in your neighborhood?"
Deserve?
Blacks are far more likely to be murdered than whites.
While only 13.7 percent of the overall U.S. population is Black, more than half of all homicide victims in 2023 were Black (53.8 percent)
