They've always been short on simple arithmatic skills, yet they can quote percentages 'til they come out their ears when it suits.
Let's test them out and apply their 'a crime is a crime when it gets reported, and not when it get's proven in a court of law' principle across the board, and apply it to other crimes. Let's say murder.
Any one of them is welcome to answer this:
Let's say people reporting murder went up 29% from the previous year. No evidence is required to back up the murder claim - no corpse, no murder weapon, nothing. All they have to do is pick up the phone and simply say there's been a murder.
Would the liberal/lefty Brains Trust on here say:
A - There's been a 29% increase in people reporting murder.
or
B - There's been a 29% increase in the number of actual murders.
