A CEO gets killed - the law, the police, the government are all out in droves to find who done it.
Your relative, a friend, your child even gets killed - eh, chances are likely you could get a cold case or not the desired results you were hoping for when the sentencing comes around. Oh and those thoughts and prayers.
It cannot be anymore clear as day as to who is pocketing the authority to do their bidding. Try and tell me with a straight face that the justice system is in favor of the people.
To be fair, if a child dies...if it wasn't in a car crash or a school or accidental shooting, it was probably because of people like this CEO.
Those car crashes and shootings are also result of policy put forward by people like this CEO.
Isn't like the murder resolution rate in NYC around 50%? And that is in the areas that have more surveillance than anywhere else in America?
Even in Canada the murder resolution rate can hover around 60% in good places. (Toronto once had a resolution rate of 80% in a good year but that was an exception). Ultimately it really is the nature of the victim as to how fast a murder gets resolved.
Jesus. That's insane to think about in modern times. With all the surveillance and data available, you'd think it'd be way higher, regardless of who the victim is. How depressing.
It's almost like all the surveillance was never really about solving those crimes.
It's 75% in NYC 50% is probably state average.
Nope. According to the 2024 Clearance report (4th quarter) from NYC the murder resolution rate was 50.57% in grand total. The 75% you are referring to is from Manhattan only. Brooklyn had a 41.67% clearance rate and the Bronx was at 51.72%. Queens was absolute shit at only 33.33% of murders cleared. With Staten Island at 66.67%.

Edit: I need to mention that cleared doesn't mean 'convicted absolutely and we found the killer 100%' it just means that they arrested and charged someone with the crime. If the charges are later dropped for some reason, or the person(s) go to trial and are acquitted, it doesn't count against the statistic.
