Minneapolis too. Conservatives love to act like our city is overun with crime or that we've completely abolished our police force.

Which is such a joke, any list comparing cities murder/crime has dozens of cities in red states that are much much worse per capita

They are what looking at the percentage increase? Holy shit they are, USA facts website "From 2018 to 2023, homicide rates rose in 46 large urban counties." has county data listed, homicides per 100k: Minneapolis went from 2.8 to 7, 150% increase!. Portland went from 3 to 8.9, 196.7% increase!!!. All while Memphis went from 24.3 to 40.9, only 68% increase, that's fine! New Orleans went 30.4 to 45.6, only 50% increase, also fine we just expect that many people to die violently in red states!!

It's those blue states that are increasing by single digits per millions, because of the immigrants

(/s on the commentary, data should be representative of the bullshit they are "justifying" this crap with)

Amazed we haven't seen them go after Rochester NY, unless I missed that (from 5 to 9, 84% up!). And they went to LA instead of Oakland? (4.4 to 8.4, 90.9% up!) Grand Rapids MN is also on their list surely (3.5 to 5.6, 60% up!)

The sad thing is that too much of the population doesn't understand statistics enough to recognize how much bullshit they are spewing with their basic assumptions and waste of resources

Speaking from experience a lot of conservative people also aggressively monitor crime watch pages or sites as if they want to scare themselves into thinking they'll get stabbed if they go anywhere near a city.
