If people aren’t panicked, they wouldn’t elect panic-pandering politicians, so there must always be a panic — crime, drugs, commies, libruls, etc.

I’m curious, do you have any ideas about where else we could get crime statistics?
That’s not really my point, is it?
Well, what is your point? If we can’t trust the statistics we do have “because police are just making them up”, then … we know nothing at all about crime levels? That doesn’t seem helpful. You must have some idea of what could be done better.
Exactly what I said. That the data is thin.
If I don’t, does that invalidate my point? Does the cited data become more reliable somehow?
