The policy is soft on crime and it results in excessive violence on the streets.
While many prominent Democrats, including Mayor Muriel Bowser, have insisted violent crime is at a 30-year low in the city, Agresti told Fox News Digital the "best way to understand the state of violent crime" in any jurisdiction is to look at the number of murders because it is a violent crime that is difficult to "sweep under the rug" because it "produces a dead body."'
"When we look at the murder data for DC, we see that it is not a situation that is lower now than it's been in the last 30 years. Quite the opposite," Agresti explained. "It is currently 83% higher than it was at its low point a dozen years ago. So, there is a serious problem with serious crime, violent crime in D.C., and the city now, the nation's capital, has a murder rate that is five times the U.S. average."
The chances of a person facing a violent crime in Washington, D.C., have dropped in recent years, but the possibility of dying during such a crime has skyrocketed, data shows, Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday.
Lethality in D.C. jumped by a whopping 341% when compared to 2012 data, the study found, reporting that there were 13 homicides per 1,000 serious violent crimes in 2012 and 57 homicides per 1,000 serious violent crimes in 2024.

Expert flips script on Dems pushing 'cherry-picked' crime stats to resist Trump's DC crackdown
Just Facts President Jim Agresti spoke to Fox News Digital about Trump's D.C. crime crackdown and what the numbers really say about crime there and nationwide.
In July, just weeks before President Donald Trump announced his crackdown on crime in D.C., the city's police union head, Gregg Pemberton, accused police lieutenants and captains of ordering lower-level members to "take a report for a lesser offense" in an attempt to make violent crime stats fall. One D.C. police commander, Michael Pulliam, is under investigation for manipulating those stats, NBC's D.C. affiliate reported.
It's far from the first time such accusations have come to light. Leaders of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department were accused of rigging the city’s crime stats as early as 2019.
During a 2020 city council hearing, two D.C. police officers blew the whistle on their superiors, accusing them of misreporting violent crimes as misdemeanors to make the nation’s capital appear safer on paper. In one August 2019 incident they detailed, a man slashed a woman’s face and neck with an unknown object outside a liquor store, sending her to the hospital. The alleged crime fit the definition of felony "assault with a dangerous weapon," but records obtained by WUSA9 showed that D.C. police classified the incident as a "simple assault" in its report, a misdemeanor that the department does not count as a "violent crime."
______________________
The accusations raise questions about a narrative that has dominated mainstream media reports in the wake of Trump's crackdown: that violent crime in the nation's capital is at a 30-year low. The claim, regurgitated in recent New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico coverage, stems from a January press release from former president Joe Biden's Justice Department, which lauded D.C. for reporting "the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years."
None of that coverage mentioned the allegations surrounding D.C.'s crime stats or the suspended commander.
D.C., meanwhile, is far from the only police force to face such allegations. Departments across the country have admitted to misclassifying instances of violent crime as misdemeanors since 2012. Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund policy director Sean Kennedy attributed the phenomenon to the incentives police departments have to reduce the rate of violent crime on paper at any cost. Doing so, he said, provides them with bonuses, accolades, and, in the case of political pressure, data that can be used to minimize concerns over crime.

The Los Angeles Police Department, for example, acknowledged in 2015 that it misclassified some 14,000 serious assaults as minor offenses from 2005 through 2012, an error that artificially lowered the city’s violent crime rate by 7 percent, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In 2012, the New York City Police Department admitted in an internal report that at least one precinct was systematically underreporting crime, according to Reuters.
More recently, in April 2024, the New Orleans Police Department admitted that it underreported more than 400 rape cases in 2021 and 2022, citing technical issues with its record management system.
The misreporting of crime statistics has given some cities ammunition to falsely claim victory in the fight against violent crime when such incidents rose in reality. That includes Columbus, Ohio. In 2013 and 2014, the city touted a supposed drop in violent crime. By late 2024, residents learned that it never actually occurred.

So cognitive wise, when trump said that prices were reduced by 400%, 500%, 1400%.........etc
He has used multiple numbers over 100%.

Was Trump asked to help? Yes. Begged would be more accurate.
Did he? No.
Did Trump have the power to call in the Guard? Yes.
Therefore he refused to help, which includes refusing to call in the Guard.

The Los Angeles Police Department, for example, acknowledged in 2015 that it misclassified some 14,000 serious assaults as minor offenses from 2005 through 2012, an error that artificially lowered the city’s violent crime rate by 7 percent, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In 2012, the New York City Police Department admitted in an internal report that at least one precinct was systematically underreporting crime, according to Reuters.
More recently, in April 2024, the New Orleans Police Department admitted that it underreported more than 400 rape cases in 2021 and 2022, citing technical issues with its record management system.
The misreporting of crime statistics has given some cities ammunition to falsely claim victory in the fight against violent crime when such incidents rose in reality. That includes Columbus, Ohio.

Examining effects, challenges of mail-in voting
Mail-in voting has come under partisan scrutiny, but according to Stanford research, it does not appear to benefit one political party over the other. However, challenges to mail-in and absentee voting remain as states and voters make a shift this November.

The policy is soft on crime and it results in excessive violence on the streets.
While many prominent Democrats, including Mayor Muriel Bowser, have insisted violent crime is at a 30-year low in the city, Agresti told Fox News Digital the "best way to understand the state of violent crime" in any jurisdiction is to look at the number of murders because it is a violent crime that is difficult to "sweep under the rug" because it "produces a dead body."'
"When we look at the murder data for DC, we see that it is not a situation that is lower now than it's been in the last 30 years. Quite the opposite," Agresti explained. "It is currently 83% higher than it was at its low point a dozen years ago. So, there is a serious problem with serious crime, violent crime in D.C., and the city now, the nation's capital, has a murder rate that is five times the U.S. average."
The chances of a person facing a violent crime in Washington, D.C., have dropped in recent years, but the possibility of dying during such a crime has skyrocketed, data shows, Fox News Digital reported on Wednesday.
Lethality in D.C. jumped by a whopping 341% when compared to 2012 data, the study found, reporting that there were 13 homicides per 1,000 serious violent crimes in 2012 and 57 homicides per 1,000 serious violent crimes in 2024.

Expert flips script on Dems pushing 'cherry-picked' crime stats to resist Trump's DC crackdown
Just Facts President Jim Agresti spoke to Fox News Digital about Trump's D.C. crime crackdown and what the numbers really say about crime there and nationwide.
In July, just weeks before President Donald Trump announced his crackdown on crime in D.C., the city's police union head, Gregg Pemberton, accused police lieutenants and captains of ordering lower-level members to "take a report for a lesser offense" in an attempt to make violent crime stats fall. One D.C. police commander, Michael Pulliam, is under investigation for manipulating those stats, NBC's D.C. affiliate reported.
It's far from the first time such accusations have come to light. Leaders of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department were accused of rigging the city’s crime stats as early as 2019.
During a 2020 city council hearing, two D.C. police officers blew the whistle on their superiors, accusing them of misreporting violent crimes as misdemeanors to make the nation’s capital appear safer on paper. In one August 2019 incident they detailed, a man slashed a woman’s face and neck with an unknown object outside a liquor store, sending her to the hospital. The alleged crime fit the definition of felony "assault with a dangerous weapon," but records obtained by WUSA9 showed that D.C. police classified the incident as a "simple assault" in its report, a misdemeanor that the department does not count as a "violent crime."
______________________
The accusations raise questions about a narrative that has dominated mainstream media reports in the wake of Trump's crackdown: that violent crime in the nation's capital is at a 30-year low. The claim, regurgitated in recent New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico coverage, stems from a January press release from former president Joe Biden's Justice Department, which lauded D.C. for reporting "the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years."
None of that coverage mentioned the allegations surrounding D.C.'s crime stats or the suspended commander.
D.C., meanwhile, is far from the only police force to face such allegations. Departments across the country have admitted to misclassifying instances of violent crime as misdemeanors since 2012. Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund policy director Sean Kennedy attributed the phenomenon to the incentives police departments have to reduce the rate of violent crime on paper at any cost.

After the 2020 US presidential election Donald Trump refused to concede, alleging widespread and unparalleled voter fraud. Trump’s supporters deployed several statistical arguments in an attempt to cast doubt on the result. Reviewing the most prominent of these statistical claims, we conclude that none of them is even remotely convincing. The common logic behind these claims is that, if the election were fairly conducted, some feature of the observed 2020 election result would be unlikely or impossible. In each case, we find that the purportedly anomalous fact is either not a fact or not anomalous
