Violence in US rises for second straight year

Everytime I say crime is up, the liberals tell me its down. Its not down its up and its violent crime.
Sessions is also right about the reason, cops chillin

Violent crime in America rose for the second straight year 2016, driven by a spoke in killings in some major cities, but remained near historically low levels, according to FBI data released Monday. The Trump administration immediately seized on the figures as proof that the nation is in the midst of a dangerous crime wave that warrants a return to tougher tactics like more arrests and harsher punishments for drug criminals. But criminologists cautioned the new numbers may not indicate the start of a long-term trend, noting that violent crime rates remain well below where they were a quarter-century ago.
Still, the FBI said it was the first time violent crime rose in consecutive years in more than a decade.
Violent crimes such as shootings and robberies rose 4.1 percent in 2016 from the year before, with homicides climbing 8.6 percent, according to the figures. Violence increased 3.9 percent in 2015, while killings jumped by more than 10 percent.
"This is a frightening trend that threatens to erode so much progress that had made our neighborhoods and communities safer - over 30 years declines in crime are being replaced by increases," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said last week during a speech in Boston. "We cannot accept this as the new normal."
On Monday, he called upon law enforcement to "confront and turn back the rising tide of violent crime." Sessions has used the threat of rising violence as an impetus for many of his sweeping policy changes. He has directed the nation's federal prosecutors to seek tougher sentences against most suspects, including some low level drug offenders and has urged them to focus more intensely on prosecuting gun cases.
Sessions has also been a proponent of the theory that crime has risen as scrutiny of local police has intensified and hurt morale, causing officers to be less aggressive on the streets. As such, he has worked to support the interests of some of the nation's largest police unions.

When the police back up, the criminals get frisky. The police are the only thing that lowers crime, nothing else lowers crime.

While the left fights for the criminals the victims just pile up

I might remind you that the police do nothing to stop a crime from being committed. All the police can do is arrest people who have already committed crimes and clean up the mess.

Unless you think we live in the world of Minority Report.

Our prisons are bursting at the seams, so you can't say they don't arrest enough people. I think you might want to place blame elsewhere for crime.

Or when the America hating crowds hero Bammy promotes civil disobediance and violence against cops.
