Make no mistake, the FBI will not be releasing complete crime statistics for 2021 because it doesn’t want the public to know just how bad the problem is even compared to 2020. If tracking violent crime was important to them they would have achieved 100% compliance with their new system by now.
At play is larger racial activism from both the FBI and big city police departments, as in, they want to keep all the resources for fighting the imaginary moral panic of “hate crimes” (political crimes) instead of being forced to spread them out to fight real crime.
On a more partisan level, the FBI doesn’t want Republicans to have the data to support a law and order campaign in the midterms.
