Huh? Okay, so we are doing a study on US crime. Up or down? Well, it would make us look bad if we told the truth, so let's use data that excludes major crime centers. Voila! Crime is down! We weren't trying to mislead you! Same with the fake jobs report that keeps getting revised down by several hundred thousand every single time. No misleading, just made an honest mistake!

So tell me, did we only need data from zip codes 32159, 32162 and 32163 to prove crime is down? I mean, that's several data points.

Sorry, your argument is not convincing.

Its a matter of critical thinking, "let's say that Chicago and Philadelphia refuse to report violent crime. So, they get left OUT of the FBI report every year. That report will still be of value for evaluating the National TREND, which is the main point of the FBI report. The US as an entity is much greater than a FEW cities." only IF that has been the practice in the past. Electroshock therapy , prefrontal lobotomy were seen by intuitions as a new froward thinking opportunity for those with phycological problems, and so it continues

For those of you who "trust the media", "trust the experts", "trust the science" or "trust the government", or think data is unbiased or even consistently accurate:

Recent evidence indicates the constant pressure to generate data and publish papers may be affecting the quality of research and fueling retractions of research papers.

In the past decade, there have been more than 39,000 retractions, and the annual number of retractions is growing by around 23% each year.

Nearly half the retractions were due to issues related to the authenticity of the data.

Plagiarism was the second most common reason research papers were retracted, accounting for 16% of retractions.

Fake peer review was another reason why research papers were retracted.

Anyone who used the data from 2021 forward would present false trends. As an example, the FBI later went back and gathered data about hate crimes from the old system and added that info and discovered they went up by 21% from 2020 to 2021 rather than going down like the incomplete data showed.

Police departments are still transitioning to the new system,so all trends report led are still using incomplete data. Any trends shown are useless and those reporting them know this. They also know most people do not.

Both sides of the aisle are taking advantage of this to sell lies.

EDIT: as an aside, it took me longer to type this post than it did to find the info contained in it.

The same is true when discussing US CRIME.The SAME FEW cities that do not report each time will NOT affect the TREND. Just look at a graph of the total US crime over TIME and see if the US is succeeding or failing to protect its citizens. I believe that crime per capita is FALLING today.

3 years later and they're still transitioning? LOL, believe any narrative you want, but people who live in cities are complaining it's not as safe.

Sorry that my response about Minneapolis went to the wrong poster. As far as Global Warming goes we just had a Cat 4 hurricane hit Tallahassee. It set an all-time record for rapid intensification and the strongest ever to hit Tallahassee. This is because the Gulf waters are very HOT, maybe also an all time record for Sept. Global Warming is proved, not just by strong hurricanes, but by actual temperature measurement. They show increasing warming for the recent time period starting about 30 years ago and getting HOTTER worldwide each year. We are NOT out of the Hurricane Season yet. And next year will likely be even HOTTER.
.......There are 22 deaths attributed to Hurricane Helene as of right now.

As long as the grant money was sufficient, the test results would come out just fine. It wasn't even hidden and used as marketing for grant money/donations.
