"The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters, controlled by radical-left scoundrels, lawyers and the media, who tell them what to do," .......... "one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history,"
Trump lying and crying to stir up his cult to violence. Maybe he should have just returned the top secret documents that were never his and this very legal and proper search would not have had to happen. What a BABY! A man would have just admitted that he screwed and taken responsibility, up but Trump has NEVER been a man.
Bottom line: . . . the average Florida resident has a somewhat higher chance of being murdered than the average NYC resident and is somewhat less safe in that regard.
That’s not evident from the data. That only works if you consider crime in these two places to be homogeneous. It’s not and probably less homogeneous in Florida since crime is a local issue and you’re lumping the entire state together.
Okay, let's unpack this. I think we both agree that murder rates are generally going to be higher in cities than in rural or suburban areas. That's a settled proposition.
By definition (and reality), NYC is entirely urban; in contrast, the state of Florida comprises urban and suburban and exurban and rural areas. So, all else being equal, we should expect that an entirely urban polity should have a higher murder rate than a polity that includes the less-dangerous nonurban areas.
But evidently all is not equal. The state of Florida's murder rate is higher than New York City's, even though Florida's overall rate is tempered by the state's nonurban areas! That means that Florida's urban areas, which we agree will have higher murder rates than the rest of the state, must have much higher murder rates than NYC does.
Who runs Florida's two largest cities? Republican mayors. Who runs the state of Florida? A Republican governor and a legislature with Republican majorities in the State Senate and House.

I find this very hard to believe. Florida is much safer than NYC.
Joe Biden traveled to Independence Hall in Philadelphia to deliver a speech excoriating Trump supporters as violent threats to the rule of law, democracy and...

I was a little surprised too, but NYC is actually a very safe city. Gentrified to the gills

What does you finding something hard to believe have to do with anything?
There are these things called facts. Also, statistics. Here are a few.
///////
Murder Rate (/100,000 population) (2020)
Florida (State): 7.8
Jacksonville (FL) (R-mayor): 9.9
Miami (FL) (R-mayor): 7.5
New York (State): 4.7
New York (City): 4.1
///////
When confronted with facts that do not comport with your feelings/beliefs, what do you do?
A) Update your feelings/beliefs
b) Cover your eyes and ears and hope the facts will just go away
Those totals seem pretty low. How many of these cities have Republican mayors?
The twenty cities in the United States with the highest murder rates (murders per 100,000 people) are: St. Louis, MO (69.4) Baltimore, MD (51.1) New Orleans, LA (40.6) Detroit, MI (39.7) Cleveland, OH (33.7) Las Vegas, NV (31.4) Kansas City, MO (31.2) Memphis, TN (27.1) Newark, NJ (25.6) Chicago, IL (24) Cincinnati, OH (23.8) Philadelphia, PA (20.2) Milwaukee, WI (20.0) Tulsa, OK (18.6)

St. Louis is 44% African-American.
Baltimore is 62% African-American.
New Orleans is 54% African-American.
Detroit is 77% African-American.
Cleveland is 48% African-American.
African-Americans make up 13% of the US population.
African-Americans commit 52% of the murders in the US.
NYC's population is 20% African-American.
This affects murder rates in cities whether it hurts people's feelings are not.
Over 90% of African-Americans vote for Democrats.
It flies in the face of simple logic and reason to pretend that Democrats aren't responsible for most of the murder in the USA.
Actually Biden has been and has spoken very consistently on this. He has NEVER been for defunding the police.
It okay for you to say that you are 100% in agreement with Biden on this point. Your world will not dissolve if you do that, I promise.
He's endorsed a million candidates who are openly for defunding the police and he's openly on the all cops are racist bandwagon.
The lie he's telling is that he's not for it because he knows decent Americans know the racist BLM BS he's peddling is garbage.
It's also irrelevant what diaper boy thinks he's got literally nothing to do with governing American. He's a puppet with a full diaper.
Such BS. Biden has never supported defunding the Police, even when it was a current rallying cry from a small minority that is no more. You are an ass and a moron, and a racist I see from another post you made. God will ask you one day why you didn't love all of his children. Go to hell.
