The Patriot Post® · Democrats Collude to Cover Up the Crime Scene
“To prevent crimes, is the noblest end and aim of criminal jurisprudence. To punish them, is one of the means necessary for the accomplishment of this noble end and aim.” —James Wilson (1790)
Joe Biden and his Democrat Party cadre in Congress and across the nation are desperately trying to divert attention from the record surge of murder and violence they unleashed nationwide in 2020, an epidemic of crime.
Two years ago during their “summer of rage,” Demos insisted that our justice system was infested with “systemic racism.” They supported the rioting Black Lives Matter radicals while vilifying law enforcement officers. Across the nation, the mayors of Demo-controlled urban centers enacted measures to release criminals while simultaneously defunding the police.
The politically motivated violence they fomented in 2020 marched into 2021 and 2022 with a vengeance.
Now, because crime is high on the list of midterm voter concerns, Demos are ducking and covering. As the corrupt BLM movement implodes, Biden is trying to recast himself as a superhero crime fighter and the “FUND the police” president. Meanwhile, his congressional lap dogs are ramping up their tough talk on crime.
In an effort to help conceal the criminal culpability of his congressional cohorts, Biden recently hosted a hoax “hate summit” as a dog whistle diversion promoting the Demos’ so-called “Safer America” plan to fund more police. Biden now insists, “The answer is not ‘defund the police,’ it is ‘fund the police.’”
Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of victims of violence, a large measure of which is committed by black people against black people — the Demos’ most loyal constituency. Not only do leftists avoid acknowledging that fact, but there is another inconvenient truth that doesn’t fit the Left’s favorite “hate crime” narrative: 90% of interracial assaults are black on white. Further, though the age demographic of most of those assailants constitutes only 3% of our population, they commit more than 85% of interracial felonies. Let that sink in…
As I have argued previously, all murders are hate crimes, despite the Left’s political carveout classifying only a thin slice of murders as such.
What is the net result of the Democrats’ pro-criminal advocacy?
Law enforcement line commanders across the nation attest that there is a rising generation of urban sociopaths on our streets, and the consequences are more devastating by the day.
Unfortunately (but fortunately for Democrats), we do not know the extent to which crime continues to surge this year because the FBI’s uniform crime reporting system is now anything but uniform. The same month Biden took office, the FBI, besieged with its own political corruption, switched to a new reporting system, which it absurdly claimed this week is much better than the old system.
As a result of that switch, more than 40% of police departments nationwide did not submit full data sets for 2021, and that includes major Demo-controlled cities in California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, where we know cities are breaking all-time murder records again this year. Despite the incomplete data, the FBI still reported a 4.3% increase in murders last year over the unprecedented 30% increase in 2020. And crime continues to clime in 2022.
And notably, the Demo-supported surge in violence also resulted in a record number of murdered police officers, but the FBI database on murdered officers is also incomplete. However, The Washington Post maintains a data base of those killed by police officers to support the Demo “defund police” narrative.
To understand the Democrats’ crime data collusion to conceal the real numbers ahead of the midterms, former FBI agent and Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam declared: “I try to stay neutral when I look at these things and say that this is a reason or that’s a reason without the politics, but the reality is, law enforcement is becoming more and more beholden to leftist mayors and governors and the president. When we look at the cities where these reports are lagging behind, we’re looking at predominantly liberal cities where the majority of crime is taking place. … The reality is the politicization of law enforcement is so out of control that we can’t even get real statistics.”
Notably, the most violent large cities all have leftist Democrat mayors, and the last time these cities had Republican mayors is telling: St. Louis, 1949; Baltimore, 1967; Birmingham, 1975; Detroit, 1962; Dayton, 2001; Baton Rouge, 2005; New Orleans, 1873; Kansas City, 1991; and Cleveland, 1989.
In effect, the Demos are not just erasing violent crime data by refusing to submit it, they are erasing victims.
Predictably, some of the Democrats’ Leftmedia platforms, including first and foremost The Washington Post, insist the claims of a crime surge are fabricated. But at least one leftist platform, CNN, gently noted the dearth of data in the FBI’s latest report.
In additional to the Department of Justice’s crime data reporting smokescreen, there is another major contributing intersectional factor in the crime surge: violence committed by illegal immigrants. Illegal immigration is a substantial voter concern, which accounts for why there is no national database of violent crime committed by these offenders — including the terrorists, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug dealers, and gang members who have entered the U.S. undetected.
To highlight the Left’s hypocrisy on dealing with illegal immigrants, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew 48 illegal Venezuelans to the wealthy leftist enclave of Martha’s Vineyard. Those immigrants were rounded up and deported off the island the day after they arrived.
Biden and his Demos don’t want to acknowledge the unprecedented invasion of 3.3 million illegal immigrants they have invited across our open southern border in the 20 months since he took office. That would be what Border Czar Kamala Harris calls our “secure border.” While many of those entering illegally remain in border states, Biden has also shipped hundreds of thousands of immigrants across the nation, making him the most prolific human trafficker in American history.
However, Democrats have deliberately and dutifully avoided any accumulation of data on crimes committed by those unlawfully entering the U.S. Yes, we know anecdotally that those crimes occur because often the immigrant status of an assailant is reported locally even in self-designated sanctuary cities. This week, for example, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala stabbed eight people in Las Vegas, killing two, but that incident will not be logged into any national data base based on the immigration status of the assailant.
Of course, there are other indications of at least the ethnicity of those committing violent crimes. Just take a look at the faces and names of those on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Not much diversity there. Or take a look at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Ten Most Wanted. Not much diversity there.
I have discussed the lack of any data base tracking crimes by illegal immigrants at length with several members of Congress, and in the event Republicans retake both the House and Senate in the midterms, that database must be on the agenda come January. Every violent crime committed by Biden’s illegal pawns needs to be hung around his neck, especially since the administration is releasing illegal immigrants they know are criminals.
Of course the obstacle to reliable data is the same as it is with the FBI’s overall crime surge data – some Demo-controlled states and urban centers, especially those so-called sanctuary cities, will also refuse to submit information on crimes committed by illegal immigrants.
But for now, the Democrats have done a masterful job of concealing the real data on violent crime. Apparently, they subscribe to the maxim offered by management advisor Peter Drucker: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Conversely, computer magnate Michael Dell concluded, “Anything that can be measured can be improved.”
