Yea, a lot of people in Democrat-run cities had a lot of high crime, including retail theft which has only gone up in the past 4 years. They should really focus on trying to get rid of the Democrat soft-on-crime policies that caused that instead of focusing so much on Trump.
I just thought I should breakdown the point of the post you replied to since it flew right over your head, bud.

Gotham has logged 21,578 shoplifting complaints this year through May 12, up 5% from the 20,552 thefts during the same period last year.
Manhattan has seen 8,896 incidents of retail theft alone.
Retail theft, which the NYPD only recently added to its crime-tracking CompStat reports, has nearly doubled in the city in the last six years. The number of incidents in Gotham steadily climbed from 32,254 complaints in 2017 to 37,922 incidents in 2019, before falling during the height of COVID-19 in 2020. From 2021 to 2023 citywide complaints increased again from 43,892 to 59,137, the data indicate.
Not even a meme, just a comic book depiction of what happened. Sad.

You can start a thread on your propaganda ... how is this for the meme thread?
From your last link:
The FBI publishes annual data on crimes that have been reported to law enforcement, but not crimes that haven’t been reported. Historically, the FBI has also only published statistics about a handful of specific violent and property crimes, but not many other types of crime, such as drug crime. And while the FBI’s data is based on information from thousands of federal, state, county, city and other police departments, not all law enforcement agencies participate every year. In 2022, the most recent full year with available statistics, the FBI received data from 83% of participating agencies.
Pro Tip: The DA's and Police are not arresting and charging (or charging down) and to make it worse many major cities are not reporting back to the FBI as the Biden Administration made it optional. You're being played by the MSM.
