Got it.

I’m not sure what numbers you’re looking for here? From 2013-2022 murders nearly doubled and the number of police officers decreased by 15-20%. What part of this needs further analysis?

Show me the year-by-year data. You can't just compare the beginning and ends of time periods to show a trend. Come on, it's basic statistics.

Feel free to use a three-year rolling average for that period. You’ll find the same trend.
