You’d think so, but something to consider is… if an area, any area, collapses to the point where first responders (of any type) can no longer accurately report findings (if there are any) or simply do their jobs, then you will see a collapse in data as well.
I understand both sides like to make statements about cities being trouble areas ( to put it nicely), but realistically it’s probably far worse.
Your argument kind of reminds me of that Chernobyl event, where radiation meters were detecting radiation at 3 roentgens, and they assumed since the data indicated things weren’t that bad, that they probably weren’t that bad. Basically, the meters are broke, but you want to think things are just fine, because a broken meter is telling you that they are.
I don’t think that’s fair, you’re making an assumption.
