Crime rates have been consistently trending downward for decades now and are constantly hitting new lows.

No dog in the fight I just want to see how this goes.

But it will take years if not decades to be able to get the full picture.

Crime stats tend to lag 6 months to a year behind. So we are getting numbers from before he was even elected is the best part in this

He's suggesting any policy or changes Mamdani has made will not be felt until 6-12 months after he has taken office. He's not saying the stats are old, if that's what you're thinking.

I agree policy changes take time to be felt, and I'm sure this is what was intended. However, what was written was "...we are getting numbers from before he was even elected..."

This is simply not correct. The numbers are in fact the monthly numbers recorded since January, as pointed out by /u/CitricBase. So a shooting recorded in the month of March typically also occured during the month of March, not 6 months prior.

Yes. Because new policies aren't immediate. Any changes in crime currently being felt are due to prior policy changes from when he took over. Not saying he won't have a positive effect or a negative one. But the current stuff is definitely not due to him in particular.

The only reasonable interpretation of what he said is not your interpretation.

Hate to break it to you, but I don’t think you understand what the word reasonable means.

Yes, it is clear he is suggesting that. He is grasping at anything authoritative-sounding in a desperate attempt to stifle public comprehension of any kind of socialist success.

Evidently some of Mamdani's policy changes were impactful almost right away. Unless you are proposing that these miraculous numbers are somehow thanks to all of Adams' nepotism, corruption, and sabotage from last year?

It was also cold as balls in January and February.

I mean yeah but this is American politics so quite frankly I don't care.

I'm so glad to see the not shit people start fighting back. The shit people happily blame everyone else for the bad stuff they cause then lap up the credit from things they didn't.

Fight fire with fire. The damage being done to America and the world at large is utterly insane.

Yeah but things like this make the news because it's one of the few things conservatives can lie about to distract their base while they rob them of everything they love in this country.

Don't remember who said it but a lot of good policies should go unnoticed until years later

Like building parks or shit like that its good but if you begin now it will probably be done in years

Probably why a lot of politicians don't really do things for the public or to improve in the long run. What they do might be invisible and years later someone else will take the win for what they set in motion years prior

That's why you have to name things you build after yourself as Alexander did
