Interesting how you intentionally chose to ignore the significant rise in crime in 2014, 2015, and the first half of 2016. Let me guess ... you couldn't find a chart, right?
Feel free to post a chart little man.
Well, let's just go ahead and clear this little issue right up .....
1) Donald Trump said "
“Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s 50 largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore.”
Now, from the Washington Post fact checkers:
In 2015, there was an uptick in homicides in 36 of the 50 largest cities compared to the previous years. The rate did, indeed, increase nearly 17 percent, and it was the worst annual change since 1990. The homicide rate was up 54.3 percent in Washington, and 58.5 percent in Baltimore.
So, we can assume only two things:
1) You didn't actually listen to the speech and have simply been regurgitating leftist spin, or:
2) You have intentionally misrepresented the facts in order to further a fallacy.
Any thing else I can do to expose your intellectual dishonesty (or laziness) would be, simply, redundant.
