Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s
And yes, its because the cops are racist and break trust with communities
probably about the gap is murders done by american police
What’s needed is a program that analyzes and pinpoints the conditions that create violent behavior and uproots them (for example, living in scarcity with no economic security and feeling marginalized, having no empathetic communal support system, etc.)

Bet if you subdivide the murder cases solved by victim’s income level you’ll find something way more interesting, NYT.
Victim race too.
Not defending America in any way but these stats can be manipulated just by not taking cases that seem unsolvable or refusing to call them murder.
That will embolden criminals about as much as the president publicly committing crimes on TV and getting away with it
“Maybe another billion dollars for police to jerk off in their cruisers and collect overtime at the expense of all other municipal budgets will help!” - Political discourse in this fucking country
Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities
“Her, those minorities ain’t gonna oppress themselves.”

You should buy more tanks for the police. Or fighter jets, you can bomb murderers from fighter jets, right?
Or just buy a bunch of D9s and demolish the lives of all the people you don’t like like the IDF does.
No body no crime
Is incorrectly labeling someone as legally dead considered a crime? Like, equivalent to manslaughter or murder depending on intent?
I ain’t no lawyer but I imagine at minimum you have a serious medical malpractice suit. Then if the intention can be proven and is to like harvest their organs when they weren’t actually dead then yeah I bet you could make a murder case.
Of course none of it means anything without proof.
I was thinking more in line with the recent DOGE actions that resulted in people being incorrectly added to the legally dead database.
I love that song
So Luigi should have used SO4?
Don’t tempt me, lol
Learning this statistic does not make murder more appealing. Guess I’m not a psycho. And thank god for that, you know? It seems like it would be such a hassle.
