Am I the only person who finds the sudden focus on crime curious at a time when the nation has been asked to revisit how it sees policing"?

I have asked the question before in two separate articles, ” am the only person who finds the sudden focus on crime curious at best?
I’m not pointing fingers; however, it seems that there are factions out there who are quite willing to see the status quo remain intact; they may not be active police officers. Still, I do not put it beyond those who would like to see police continue to operate the way they are, continue to operate with impunity.
How better can it be for white supremacists and skinheads to continue infiltrating and using police departments to carry out their centuries-old campaign of terror against African-Americans?
Almost two decades after the FBI warned of white supremacists infiltrating [what were already racist police departments], nothing has been done substantively to weed out those so tainted and put in place measures to ensure that where racism rears, its ugly head it will be swiftly chopped off.
For over three decades, violent crime has trended down across America, yet if you listen to some people, you would think the sky is falling.
Fivethirtyeight.com responded in an article titled; ( Many Americans Are Convinced Crime Is Rising In The U.S. They’re Wrong).
It argues, “their fear makes everyone less safe.” I will briefly touch on the source of their fear in short order.
However, fivethirtyeight.com stated, We are terrible at estimating our risk of crime — much worse than we are at guessing the danger of other bad things. Across that decade, respondents put their chance of being robbed in the coming year at about 15 percent. Looking back, the actual rate of robbery was 1.2 percent. In contrast, when asked to rate their risk of upcoming job loss, people guessed it was about 14.5 percent — much closer to the actual job loss rate of 12.9 percent.
In other words, we feel the risk of crime more acutely. We are certain crime is rising when it isn’t, convinced our risk of victimization is higher than it actually is.

What has been the source of that irrational fear in recent times? Two words Donald Trump.
An egomaniacal, narcissistic, pathological liar. Trump during Obama’s presidency. Trump before he took that escalator in his gaudy Manhattan building, Trump for all of the campaign season of 2016. Trump today, a pathology of lies and Russian ‑styled misinformation pumped into the national bloodstream by FOX & and the plethora of bottom-feeding race-baiting outlets on behalf of the vilest most racist person to occupy the White House in our lifetime.
Despots need fear to have people coalesce around them; Donald Trump is an unintelligent, mindless lunatic who has no idea how to govern. Still, he loves the trappings of power the American Presidency affords.
After tasting power between 2017 & 2021, despite the shock, he experienced after the Russians installed him in 2016 and the initial, “oh shit,” I have no idea what to do, he decided that he would burn the country down if that’s what it took to keep power.
What’s not to like sycophants bow down in idolatrous worship of you. You cannot be prosecuted regardless of the crimes you commit, so says the Justice Department. You can steal all you want; after all, the presidency is yours to use as a tool of grift coercion and extortion.
Most of all, for the average tyrant like Trump, it is the power to kill whomever he hates, ask Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
Nah.….….…. it wasn’t just Soleimani; he wanted US troops to kill Black Americans who were demonstrating against his police state that continues to kill innocent unarmed African-Americans too, so there is that as well.
The palpability of fear allows weak-minded people to cede their liberty to tyrants who claim they alone can protect them.
In actuality, those tyrants care only about consolidating power to enrich themselves and those they care about, immediate family and friends.
That pretty much sums up who and what Donald Trump is.

The data below was released by Pew Research Center, which outlined that crime is [not] going up as Trump and his sycophants would have you believe. Property crime in the U.S. is much more common than violent crime. In 2019, the FBI reported a total of 2,109.9 property crimes per 100,000 people, compared with 379.4 violent crimes per 100,000 people. By far, the most common form of property crime in 2019 was larceny/theft, followed by burglary and motor vehicle theft. Among violent crimes, aggravated assault was the most common offense, followed by robbery, rape, and murder/non-negligent manslaughter. Both the FBI and BJS data show dramatic declines in U.S. violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s when crime spiked across much of the nation. Pew argues.

So whose interest is served by these killings? We know that there have been white supremacists involved in Black Lives Matter Protests. We know that some have been exposed as they destroyed property in Portland, Oregon, in 2020 to lay blame on BLM.
We know that white supremacists have donned fake black skin as they commit crimes, again hoping to blame black activists.
This is true even as it is in no way an excuse for the moronic Black punks who continue to shoot each other and even small children in their reckless criminal conduct.
For example, in the city of Chicago, Ilinois where gun crimes continue to be a major problem.…. and by the way, a city in which the Black & Brown community has absolutely no trust or respect for their corrupt and abusive police department, an Iowa man was arrested and charged after a rifle and ammunition were found near a window inside his hotel room in downtown Chicago on the Fourth of July, officials said.
A member of the cleaning staff at the W Hotel alerted authorities about firearms he found “in a very suspicious position inside one of the rooms” on Sunday, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said Tuesday.
What was Keegan Casteel, 32, of Ankeny, Iowa, doing in Chicago with a rifle, handgun, and five magazines in a hotel room?
According to Prosecutors on Tuesday, the rifle had four magazines next to it and a live round in the chamber, Chicago ABC station WLS reported.
Police said Casteel does not have a criminal history. He also did not have a Firearms Owner Identification Card in Illinois, Brown said, which is needed to have a gun in the state legally. He is licensed to carry in the gun-crazy state of Iowa.
A judge, however, granted Casteel bail in the sum of $10,000 and allows him to return to Iowa if he can post bail.
Of course, as you all know, by now, if he can come up with a thousand dollars, he will walk out and head home to Iowa until his trial begins.
Chicago suffered a bloody holiday weekend, with 100 people shot since Friday night, 18 fatally, officials said Tuesday.
