Wow very informative bro. Can you show me all your sources for that.
300 thousand people have died from overdose related deaths since 2020.
A little over 1 million people died from covid since 2020.
Criminal networks/customers in major American cities were indirectly rattled by this. I'm sure this wasn't the only factor but it had a great impact on crime. To say it didn't, is Emotional.

Police and justice system return to (sort of) normalcy
A shortage of police – driven by pandemic-era resignations, retirements and injuries – significantly affected cities like Philadelphia.Additionally, the Philadelphia Police Department’s number of traffic and pedestrian stops dropped drastically. This was due to both the need to adhere to social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic and a widespread reluctance among officers to engage with citizens after massive protests in response to the murder of George Floyd. In fact, the number of documented stops plummeted by 83% from 2019 to 2020 alone.
New leadership and crime-fighting strategies
Reducing gun violence was a top campaign issue during Philadelphia’s 2023 mayoral race.Mayor Cherelle Parker, elected on a law-and-order platform, declared a public safety emergency on her first day in office.
She also appointed Kevin Bethel as police commissioner in charge of the more than 6,000-member force. Bethel, second in command under former Commissioner Charles Ramsey, quickly released a 100-day plan that focused on crime reduction in high-crime districts, shutting down open-air drug markets in Kensington and reinforcing federal partnerships to tackle violent crime.
Philadelphia has also adopted new policing strategies and technologies.
National crime trends
While local initiatives have likely contributed to Philadelphia’s drop in violent crime, these improvements also fit into national crime trends as cities across the U.S. experienced similar declines.Economics and public safety expert John Roman, for example, attributes both the rise and fall of violence to pandemic-related losses in government staffing and functionality, which he argues returned to prepandemic levels in late 2023.
Gun violence in Philadelphia plummeted in 2024 − researchers aren’t sure why, but here are 3 factors at play
As of late September 2024, homicides in Philadelphia are down 40% compared with 2023.

Joe Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low - Poynter
Republicans have argued that Biden is responsible for high levels of crime. He has responded by saying that violent crime has fallen. He's right.

Show me your data on how covid impacted crime and made it go down, when crime went up during covid.
Why the US had a violent crime spike during Covid — and other countries didn’t
Violent crime is falling. But understanding why it surged during the pandemic is still important.

You're an emotional linker
At least I got links. I always wonder how it would be to only move on emotions instead of trying to actually figure something out. The world probably looks so simple to you, I'm kind of envious

. people like you are part of the problem because you don't use your brain.Some people just got the gift of vision. I'm sure someone will eventually see the connection and create a link for you bro.
People are as broke as ever yet violent crime is falling.
It's obvious part of that are alot of dead people who would have otherwise been partaking in or been influential in crime.
I'm actually surprise you couldn't see that.
Did you only read the headline then respond? The article has statistics that does not come from the mouth of politicians. Like @Mowgli you are an emotional thinker, you read "Joe Biden is right" it triggered you and you instinctually started screaming Joe Biden and politicians are lying rather than even skimming through the article.believe joe biden, bruhs. Or any politician
No child left behind has got another one
Or maybe after covid people decided crime wasn't with it.
I'm surprised you couldn't see that
