Can someone make a map or table showing the per-capita murder rate changes per county, and overlap that with counties that had per-capita effective-law-enforcement-bodies-available changes?
In other words, if Baltimore lost hundreds of law enforcement officers due to early retirements/police union strikes/"Defund the Police", and also saw a murder spike, I'd want to see that highlighted....and the same for any other city with similar results (which, I suspect, all have similar root causes).
Meh, comparing to the 90s peak in absolute numbers makes no sense, and seems disingenuous. 21000 murders now vs 25000 in the 90s is still half, per capita, there are about a hundred million more people here now.
