You're the one posting out of context. That 2022 article you keep posting is irrelevant to what's been going on in 2023 (shootings every weekend so far and many stabbings).

All signs are pointing to a very bloody 2023.

How the fuck is a 12 month period over the last 14 months irrelevant? Oh, I know, it’s irrelevant when you a propagandist hack with garbage data parsing skills.

It's far more complex.

You're ignoring what's been going on in 2023. And you're strictly focusing on a 12 month period while trying to make it seem like that equals a downward trend when you don't understand why the numbers were so low during the first approximately 10 months of 2022.

In 2022 a tremendous amount of guns were taken off the streets. Additionally, the gang from Silver Lake (responsible for the worst mass shooting in Providence history) was taken off the streets. Those two things are very likely why there was a large decrease in violent crime for most of 2022. Not some imaginary downward trend.

This is a bad thing? This indicates an increase in violence?

You’re the guy who sees the largest increase in fentanyl seizures at the border as a bad thing.

I don't understand your post.

Taking the guns and the notorious gang off the streets was a good thing, and I believe it led to a big decrease in violence. But what I'm saying is that it was temporary.

As for fentanyl, I have no idea what you're talking about. Why would an increase in fentanyl seizures be a bad thing??

And 2022 was Elorza's last year in office. I don't know if he has future political aspirations, but the numbers in 2022 sure do make him look good. Maybe that's not a coincidence.
