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

    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.
