From the Wall Street Journal:
Homicides Rose in Most Big Cities This Year
Sixteen of the 20 largest police department saw a year-over-year increaseBy SCOTT CALVERT and SHIBANI MAHTANI
Dec. 22, 2016 5:30 a.m. ETHomicides rose in most big American cities in 2016, continuing a worrisome trend for police and criminologists that began last year, even as murder rates in most cities are nowhere near the levels of two decades ago.
Sixteen of the 20 largest police departments reported a year-over-year rise in homicides as of mid-December, a Wall Street Journal survey found. Some notched minor increases, while Chicago has experienced one of the most dramatic jumps, with more than 720 murders—up 56% from 2015. …
Nationally, 37 of the 65 largest police agencies, including ones in San Antonio, Las Vegas and Memphis, Tenn., reported year-over-year homicide increases as of Sept. 30, the Major Cities Chiefs Association said. In 2015, 44 departments reported increases, many for the first time in years.
Homicide rates should be falling steadily, perhaps 5% per year, due to improved medical care and due to the proliferation of video cameras making it harder to get away with crimes.
Chicago and a handful of cities accounted for much of the overall 10% increase in homicides across the 65 communities, he said. Rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults and non-fatal shootings were also up at the end of September, the association’s survey found.
San Antonio had the highest percentage increase as of mid-December, the Journal’s survey found. Its 144 homicides amount to a 60% increase from 2015. Of the four cities recording drops in 2016, three—Baltimore, Milwaukee and Washington, D.C.—had homicide upswings in 2015 that topped 50%. The other, New York, had a small increase in 2015 and a 5% decrease in homicides this year through mid-December, and is more broadly experiencing historic lows in violent crime.
In some cities, violent crime increased in the wake of deadly police confrontations with young black men. For example, murders and nonfatal shootings skyrocketed in Baltimore after the April 2015 death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray sparked rioting and prompted prosecutors to bring criminal charges against six officers.
In Chicago, too, the big increase in homicides has come since the release, in November 2015, of a video from a year earlier showing a white officer killing a black 17-year-old in a hail of 16 bullets. The Chicago department is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department, which earlier this year found the Baltimore Police Department routinely engages in a range of unconstitutional policing practices.
Thanks, Obama Justice Department, a heckuva job you’re doing!
The three biggest declines in 2016 — Milwaukee, Baltimore, and DC are just regression partway toward the mean after horrific increases in murder rates in 2015. Baltimore and Milwaukee are less homicidal in 2016 because they had huge Black Lives Matter upheavals during 2015 that caused spikes in their 2015 homicide rates. Washington DC’s 2015 spike might have be a spillover from Baltimore?
New York had a brief spike in homicides in early 2015 after a BLM terrorist assassinated two NYPD officers in December 2014. But the NYPD’s soft mutiny successfully humiliated the progressive Mayor, so the NYPD went back to work with their customary effectiveness and things have been pretty stable in New York for about 22 months now.
Some experts attribute the rise to the widely debated view that violent-crime increases are tied to the civil unrest that roiled numerous cities after police killings of young black men, starting with such an incident in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. The main version of the theory holds that many officers have shied away from confrontation, emboldening criminals. Another posits that growing distrust of police among minority residents has made people less willing to come forward as witnesses and more inclined to resolve disputes themselves.
“I don’t think anyone knows which of those may be operating, or whether a combination is operating,” said Richard Rosenfeld, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. “Anecdotally, I think Chicago is a good example of a city in which both may be operating.”
One concern from this new graph is whether some bad trend is going on in Hispanic cities, such as San Antonio and Phoenix. Or it could just be small sample sizes of murders in Latino cities.
One extraordinarily overlooked topic in explaining the election result is the complete failure of Obama and Clinton’s plan to turn out the black base using BLM in both 2014 and 2016, and how much it irritated other races. And how many people it’s gotten murdered. Oh for Three:
1. Black voters: Unenthused over being asked to vote for Michael Brown in 2014/16 in contrast to having a chance to express racial pride by voting for Barack Obama in 2008/12.
2. Nonblack voters: Not happy about Democrats pandering to the kind of blacks who would vote over Michael Brown.
3. Hundreds of incremental black people: Couldn’t vote because they got murdered in the BLM-caused crime wave.

I have a lot of experience in Latin America. Some places are the quietest, safest places you could imagine, and others are very murderous. Apart from the usual suspects (e.g., “coastal” populations are more violent), it usually comes down to how corrupt the government is, and how tightly knit the local community is.
Since Obama is half white and his Negro dog of a father was already married when he sired him on that bitch wouldn’t that make him illegitimate ? So in truth our current “El Presidente” is a half breed bastard , no ? Not being raciss or anything , but isn’t that an a natural fact ?
Also, being a bastard and being nobility are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

In DC, after 8 years Police Chief Cathy Lanier stepped down in September 2016. She struck a good balance between aggressive policing and community PR. Several years ago she turned the violent Trinidad neighborhood into a de facto gated community until it was declared unconstitutional. And many of the post-BLM police “reforms” had already been put in place in DC due to earlier episodes.
A significant portion of the violence in DC comes from those using synthetic cannaboids (K2/Spice). Users are almost exclusively black. The drugs are cheap, they get you high, and they don’t show up on drug tests. The effects are closer to PCP than marijuana (see YouTube).
Over the course of 2015, DC cracked down hard on its use: legislation was passed allowing police to shut down or fine stores that sell it, street dealers were put in jail (mostly just overnight), and millions of dollars worth–over half a ton–was confiscated.
It’s still available on the streets. “Zombies” are still a large portion of ambulance calls and ER admissions in DC. But its use appears to have trended downward somewhat.
Synthetic weed is popular in Baltimore too, but I believe its criminal influence there has been less. It’s more of a substitute good there, and the background rate of criminality is high enough to absorb it.

The Maya people were the only major indigenous American nation that never fell to a colonial power. The Spanish wasted the lives of hordes of men for three centuries and the Mexicans for a century after that with no success. The Guerra de las Castas was the bloodiest war of colonial conquest in the Americas. Nobody won. In pre-Hispanic times they say the median adult male—those that survived the constant warfare—had three wives. These are a people bred to die for their autonomy and superiority in their own territory.

They still talk about The Great Yaz there, who helped get Boston the pennant in ’67 and ’75.

Already happening.
As a veteran(ish) cop in a medium sized city, I’m skeptical of the effect of video cameras. The main drivers of homicide rates, young black men, have never seemed to care less about getting caught. It’s rare that a named suspect isn’t developed with a day or two of a shooting. Medical care, particularly with the benefits of all the battlefield trauma lessons of the past decade, has a big effect. But I haven’t seen many black gang members who had enough forethought to think about cameras.
Thanks.
But I’m under the impression that things like convenience store robberies are down as video becomes omnipresent. It seems like a bunch of once popular old crimes like car theft and armed robbery are in decline as technology improves.
By the way, thanks for your writing.

Car theft has been almost totally defeated by chipped keys, unfortunately meaning it’s falling hardest on working poor who drive 20-year-old Hondas. As for armed robberies, all my evidence is anecdotal (I’m strictly a street cop, not much statistics in my job). But it seems that the exact same lack of “future time orientation” that hobbles some demographics in school doesn’t help them in crime. But I guess you’d be correct if a bonehead who’d normally do a dozen robs instead only gets to do three before he gets popped. At any rate, it’s jaw dropping to see how little forethought goes into major violent crimes. You get a gun off a guy and it’s this shitty, unoiled Keltec with a half a magazine of mismatched bullets, none of them hollow points.

I hate and distrust obama and his Wookie wife, and disapprove of his policies and his character.
But his pardons can have no appreciable effect on crime even in one large state, let alone the country. There simply aren’t enough pardons, even if for some reason you think there were too many.
Also, let’s be honest. Obama has primarily pardoned or reduced the sentences of people who committed nonviolent drug “crimes”, not murder, manslaughter, rape, burglary, robbery, assault, etc. A quick cursory review shows a few mail fraud, possession of stolen mail, and the like.
I wouldn’t doubt that his pardons have intentionally favored Africans or nonwhites disproportionately, and they shouldn’t, but that’s about it.

I have traveled through Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua a few different times. I often wondered why few tourists visit the carribbean sides of the CR and Nic. I have heard from many different people including hippy backpackers and pot-growing hostel owners that there is a lot of crime in those areas. Especially against tourists. Later, I found out what the populations look like and it kind of made sense. Nature.
It’s largely another case of invade the world invite the world. Whether El Salvadorians have evolved for aggression or not, the recent Civil War and the USA’s involvement in it with resulting waves of emigrants northwards have played a large role in the rise violent El Salvadorian gangs:
“The full-fledged civil war lasted for more than 12 years and saw extreme violence from both sides.

You’ve been superseded by the mass importation of Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, and especially Somalis. Nowadays inviting unlimited Latin Americans is only medium madness.
Go back to sleep.
If we’re being honest, it’s something of a myth that locked up drug offenders are nonviolent. In the ghetto’s “Snitches Get Stitches” culture, corralling witnesses to stick with a prosecution through to conclusion and then face the offender when he is inevitably released (e.g., by an Obama pardon) is extremely difficult. Given an offender with a diverse rap sheet, prosecutors prefer to prosecute on the drug charges because it uses objective physical evidence, saving time and money. And since most ghetto crime involves both violence and drugs, drug crime evidence is plentiful.
Similarly, don’t count on those “possessing stolen mail” etc. convicts to be upstanding citizens once they are released. The stolen mail was just the physical evidence that allowed the prosecution to complete the case of someone the police had likely been following for a long time.
In other words, yes, Obama did just unleash another mini crime wave.
P.S. Props on the “Wookie wife” crack. I knew I had seen her somewhere before!
For one thing, drugs power most property crime, which is how most of our lives are impacted by crime (and, at the risk of sounding like an SJW type, in a certain way burglary is a violent crime; normal victims of it, especially chicks, are profoundly affected by the perceived loss of safety).
The other thing is that you're absolutely correct, what they were convicted of and what they did are very different things. A federal "simple possession" conviction might have started out as six ounces of cocaine, a bunch of baggies, a scale, and a kind of shitty search by a cop. After an hour of pretrial motions with the cop trying to bend the word "consent" around a bit, the two sides cut a deal and, Bam, simple possession. The "user caught with a dime bag and sent to federal prison for life" is a Lifetime movie.

Incidently, though, that's an important point about my job that I don't think is widely understood. You don't get to be a police chief by doing a bunch of police work. You've got to promote fast and early, or at least go to special units, where the politics start. At least on the west coast where I am, you'd be shocked how little top down control there is for a street cop like me. If I don't feel something is legally justified, I don't do it. As long as I haven't broken policy, the chief can't do a hell of a lot to me. I still pick my battles (I've patrolled some mosques, watching out for marauding F350s filled with deplorables), but I wasn't kidding when I said I'm the kind of cop to hope for when Hillary Clinton puts out a warrant for you in 2021.
Anyhow, I do think I have something valuable to write, but it's a personal history of how a decade or so of police work turned a good, right thinking moderate liberal into a full on thought criminal. But what's the point of writing it? The only people who could learn anything from it would never read it, except at my trial.Replies: @Almost Missouri
The I-know-I-know-nothing idea is usually attributed to Socrates, who, as leading candidate for the founder of Western Civilization, definitely is not cheesy. (Though seeing what we’ve done with that Civilization … never mind.)
I’m guessing the “special units” are not, say, the SWAT team, but rather, say, the white collar crime unit where you spend a lot of time with prosecutors and politicians, or maybe the Internal Division, or whatever they call the police who police other police?
Tragedic poetry. An epitaph for Western Civilization.
Though, Just some cop, I would point out that people here seem to read it, and to learn something from it…
Please don't anyone blame me for that one: I'm just the messenger.Replies: @Almost Missouri
Aww, if the Obama daughters have said anything as reprehensible as their parents have, I haven’t heard about it.
Let’s see one post and this was it ? Get on the ball Sailer !!
Also, being a bastard and being nobility are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

And since being a "clean, articulate" Negro (Harry Reid's description) is pretty much the height of nobility in The Current Year, Obama is both.Replies: @donut
Sure , but no bastard children could ascend to the crown .
“poor Missouri white trash” , if I were from Missouri I would be proud to be so . As that would mean I shared my 2nd home with Kit Carson a true blue American hero . Unlike you you urban dwelling disease carrying rodent . Is that you Johnny ? No I think not . No it must be another one of my many fans . Who ever it is I want to thank you for the compliment of being too fearful of the Donuts wrath to use your real name . Thank you come again .
Nice mouth. Never come in to my bar and talk and act this way…
I look at the United States as something of a big bar – we’re kicking people out of the bar/country and that will include you.
Yes, that would be true, Obama is a half breed bastard. But Barack has been a good husband and father and his daughters are not bastards and are more, very Black African American in good ways.
I do give Barack and Michele Obama credit for being good parents.
