In Washington, D.C., a 22-year-old woman named Kayla Kenisha Brown has had murder and kidnapping charges dropped against her following a carjacking incident that resulted in the death of a 55-year-old elderly passenger. The incident occurred when Brown allegedly stole a car with the elderly woman inside, drove off, and crashed into a building near the U.S. Attorney's office. The D.C. U.S. Attorney, Matthew Graves, decided to drop the charges after only three days, leading to public outcry. Brown now faces only an unarmed carjacking charge, and her public defender is seeking to further reduce this to a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. A DC judge approved the dropping of the charges.
Right-wing twitter is arguing crime isn't going down, that some cities just aren't reporting data to the FBI. This appears to be wrong. We can look at the murder rate, since here you have to worry less about selective reporting. Practically all murders get counted, unlike other… https://t.co/oSXslhKWFt
The reliability of FBI crime statistics is questionable. For instance, in New York City, the largest city in the nation, NYPD's reported homicide figures have aligned with the FBI's from 2015 to 2022. Yet, in 2023, the FBI's reported homicides were 13.6% lower than NYPD's, and in… https://t.co/UbnfN76hFK https://t.co/QgL4IUtTpm
Biden’s FBI says crime is down How convenient, especially since dozens of city departments are no longer reporting their crime stats! It’s kinda like when Biden says there’s no border crisis, he created record jobs, and Trump is a fascist who arrests his political opponents https://t.co/cUTEB3VU69
Guess what happens when cities, including major left-wing bastions, just stop reporting crime to the FBI? https://t.co/0IcYsYLKrp https://t.co/Yvz0p6QFFo

Oh, absolutely, @fbi's crime stats are the gold standard—just like Crazy Eddie's financials were the epitome of trustworthiness. It's not like numbers should add up, right? So when NYPD reports 82 murders in NYC and the FBI says 46, I guess we're playing 'whose count is closer to… https://t.co/tivNaglrZR
The FBI crime statists are as useful as Crazy Eddie’s phony financial statements. For example, the FBI crime statistics for NYC are inaccurate. In Q1 2024, the NYPD reported 82 murders NYC, while the FBI counts only 46 murders. While NYC does not use FBI UCR definitions for… https://t.co/f8UySy42fM
