Report: FBI violent crime data higher than reported(Fox News)An independent group of law enforcement officials and analysts claim violent crime rates are much higher than figures reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its 2023 violent crime statistics...Through aggregated data sets directly from more than 70 of the nation's largest police departments and victim surveys, (The Coalition for Law Order and Safety's "Assessing America's Crime Crises: Trends, Causes, and Consequences" report) showed that due to significant under-reporting of certain crimes, the FBI's official data doesn't completely capture the full snapshot of crime in the U.S... Sean Kennedy, one of the lead researchers... said that, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots, several police departments redefined the classifications for certain violent crimes and transitioned away from a decades-old recording system. "If you classify something as an aggravated assault, it's a violent crime or a felony, but if you classify it as a simple assault, it's then a misdemeanor and a non-violent crime," Kennedy said. "That is a world of difference when it comes to how the media is going to portray whether or not your department is fighting violent crime." However, the police are not the only ones appearing to under-report. Businesses and individuals who are victims of violent crimes have also shown a pattern of reluctance when it comes to calling the police. The Loss Prevention Research Council's survey of retailers sheds light on the reasons behind the lack of reporting. The study shows that typically, business owners tend to harbor the belief that police will not respond promptly or investigate crimes, and prosecutors will not pursue charges against the perpetrators... In 2019, 89% of municipal police departments – spanning about 97% of the population – submitted crime data to the FBI... However, by 2021, less than 63% of departments spanning across 65% of the population submitted crime data. Several big cities – Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago – did not submit crime data at all to the FBI last year... This month, officials in the New Orleans Police Department announced they had under-reported sex crime data that was filed to the FBI in 2021 and 2022. In 2014, a Los Angeles Times investigation found that the Los Angeles Police Department had "systematically downgraded" serious violent crime offenses to minor offenses between 2005 and 2014.

College POSTS BAIL for pro-Hamas protesters(Campus Reform)Emerson College President Jay Bernhardt appeared to apologize for the arrests of anti-Israel campus occupiers in late April and said that staff members were sent to bail students out of jail.According to Boston.com, 118 students were arrested during an anti-Israel encampment on the Emerson College campus during the early morning hours of April 25. They were charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace... ”We know that the events of that night were, and are, emotionally overwhelming for our entire community, especially for the students present at the protest and the staff and faculty who were on site to provide support,” said Bernhardt. “Emerson has continued to be supportive in multiple ways – sending staff to all the precincts and posting bail for arrested students, canceling and modifying classes so our community could process what had occurred, and providing additional care and support for our community to heal.” Additionally, the college won't bring campus disciplinary charges against the protesters related to the encampment and asked the district attorney not to pursue charges. Emerson College will also provide housing to out-of-town students who need to come back to Boston for court appearances. Sgt.

Late last night, police entered Columbia University's campus and removed pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had occupied an administration building roughly 20 hours before. Violent clashes also broke out overnight between pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters at UCLA. Read more. AP: At least a dozen people have been arrested at the... University of Wisconsin... as police removed tents erected by protesters... (Officials at The University of Texas at Austin are preparing) for an expected large protest Wednesday on the main lawn where demonstrations resulted in more than 100 arrests over the past week. (AP) — Several officers on a task force trying to serve a warrant in a suburban Charlotte, North Carolina, neighborhood were shot Monday afternoon, police said. Officers from several agencies in the U.S. Marshals Task Force were carrying out the operation in a suburban neighborhood when “a subject” began firing at them and multiple officers were shot, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a post on X... Nearly two hours after the shooting started, police said the scene was still unsafe and promised an update with more information “as soon as the situation stabilizes.” Read more. WSOC-TV: The number of people shot and the nature of their injuries was not immediately known. (AP) — Police departments across the United States are reporting an increase in their ranks for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic and... George Floyd's death... which led to a historic exodus of officers, a survey shows.More sworn officers were hired in 2023 than in any one of the previous four years, and fewer officers overall resigned or retired, according to the 214 law enforcement agencies that responded to a survey by the Police Executive Research Forum, or PERF. As more and more officers left, many of the departments had to redeploy stretched resources by shifting officers away from investigative work or quality of life issues such as abandoned vehicles or noise violations to handle increases in crime and, in some cases, the shortages meant slower response times or limiting responses to emergencies only, police officials say... The survey shows that while small and medium departments had more sworn officers than they did in January 2020, large departments are still more than 5% below their staffing levels from that time, even with a year-over-year increase from 2022 to 2023. The survey also showed smaller departments with fewer than 50 officers are still struggling with a higher rate of resignations and retirements. (KUT Radio)Charges have been dismissed against 46 people arrested at a protest Wednesday on (University of Texas) Austin's campus, Travis County Attorney Delia Garza said."Legal concerns were raised by defense counsel, we reviewed each case individually and agreed there were deficiencies in the probable cause affidavits," she told KUT in a text. "The Court affirmed and ordered the release of the individuals." Nearly 60 people were arrested for allegedly trespassing during the pro-Palestinian demonstration. Garza said her office would continue to review cases to determine whether prosecution "is factually and legally appropriate..." The protest, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, was met by a multiagency show of force. State police responded by request from UT President Jay Hartzell and Gov. Greg Abbott, who characterized the protest as violent and anti-Semitic. Officers from the Austin Police Department, UT Police and the Department of Public Safety attempted to clear the university's south lawn. Dozens of protesters were arrested for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor akin to loitering, or disorderly conduct, which is also a misdemeanor. Read more. Will this embolden protesters to be even more disruptive? COVER IMG: Pro-Palestinian protesters, including students and faculty of universities across Philadelphia, wave flags during the fourth day of the protest encampment at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 28, 2024. The White House insisted on April 28 that pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked US universities in recent weeks must remain peaceful, after police arrested around 275 people on four separate campuses over the weekend.

LARRY KRASNER RUNNING FOR ANOTHER TERM? PER THE INQUIRER...  BETSY ALSO EXPANDS ON THE PROMPTS BELOW...ANTI ISRAEL ACTIVISTS CHANTING - DEATH TO AMERICAMIGRANT PROBLEMS FOR HOME DEPOTLA SENDING LESS OFFICERS TO CALLS... (New York Post)Anti-Israel activists were heard chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” at a rally in a Michigan city recently dubbed the “jihad capital” of the US.The sick chants erupted at a rally Friday in Dearborn marking Al Quds Day, in which Muslims around the world denounce Israel, according to a video posted by the Middle East Media Research Institute. They came after Dearborn activist Tarek Bazzi ripped the US for supporting Israel — and told the crowd that “the chant ‘Death to Israel' has become the most logical chant across the world today. “Imam Khomeini, who declared International Al Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shots upon the head of America,” Bazzi said of former Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini as chants of “Death to America” started. “It's not Genocide Joe that has to go,” he continued, referring to President Biden. “It's the entire system that has to go.” Bazzi said that “any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it — such a system does not deserve to exist on God's Earth. Read more. How concerning is this? (New York Post)A New York Home Depot has deployed a guard dog — and other stores may be close behind — to protect shoppers from aggressive migrants and thieves flooding their parking lots, The Post has learned. Two men wearing MSA Security caps and bulletproof vests with a German Shepherd in tow patrolled the Home Depot in New Rochelle on Tuesday... The guarded New Rochelle lot was quiet and no migrants loitered there when The Post visited this week, however, seven miles away in Throggs Neck, The Bronx, at least 30 male migrants hovered at the doors of Home Depot. Some were day laborers simply trying to “shape” for work with local contractors. But many others aggressively confronted shoppers, trying to sell them phony Apple Airpods or soliciting tips for lifting items from shopping carts into cars — even when uninvited. “You come out and you're a woman by yourself, they literally leech onto your wagon, and you're like ‘No, I don't need any help,'” one worker said. “And when they're following you to your car, it's unnerving.” She said a female supervisor saw one of the men washing his privates with a water bottle in the lot, and that several women have called customer service to complain that migrants robbed them of purses or phones. She's seen the number of grifters in the lot swell as the migrant population in New York City explodes. “I came to work one day and there had to be 100 guys out here,” she said. “And I'm like, ‘Oh, my God!...'” Customers frequently complain about the crush of migrants, said LaurieAnn Masciocco, who works in the store's customer service department. “It's come to the point where they're invading personal space, touching people's belongings, just harassing,” she said. Read more.  (Los Angeles Times)Los Angeles officials — eager to ease the city's reliance on police officers for handling nonviolent mental health emergencies — have launched a new pilot program that sends unarmed civilians with training to respond to such calls.Modeled after a heralded program out of Oregon, city officials said the so-called Unarmed Model of Crisis Response has two teams of mental health practitioners available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for situations that would typically fall to police, such as conducting welfare checks and responding to calls for public intoxication and indecent exposure. The program, run by the office of the city administrator, is so far operating in three police divisions... with plans to evaluate its performance after a year and potentially expand... The program is based on the “Cahoots” model, named for a Eugene, Ore., nonprofit widely considered the gold standard in mobile crisis intervention. The program, started in 1989, today handles about 20% of the mental health calls for the city of around 180,000 by dispatching teams of specialists trained in counseling and de-escalation... In New York, officials cited staffing and training issues as reasons why a Cahoots-style pilot fell short of its goal of rerouting at least 50% of mental health calls away from police. Read more.

Vallelong said he found it infuriating to see city politicians who have supported movements to "defund" police and let criminals out of jail posting politically motivated condolences on social media.

Hour 1 - Mike Opelka in for Rich again. Is winking acceptable? For all the climate hysteria, there really haven't been any bad storms this hurricane season. Is Zeoli's pizza oven the cause of our climate crisis? Formula One racing in Vegas took a hit after a car blew up after race officials did not secure manhole covers to the ground. But they are partnering with Porsche and looking to develop an alternative fuel that isn't electric. All these celebrities are threatening to leave the U.S. if Trump is re-elected. Who cares? Snoop Dogg is giving up “smoke.” This is very much a marketing ploy for something marijuana knowing Snoop Daniel Turner, Director of Power the Future, joins the show to give us a breakdown of what actually happened at APEC this past week and the climate policies that will be adopted as a result of this meeting. The climate change system works the same as communism because the elite and powerful don't have to play the same rules as everybody else. Did China have to give up anything? No, Biden took all the blame for the “climate crisis” and let China off the hook. 23 of 25 of the most polluted cities in the world belong to China, while the other two are India's, so why are we taking all the blame and being the victim? Hour 2 - Kaitlyn Jenner is back in the news. Why? Well, she used a word online that is now frowned upon. But she spelled it wrong and the internet is letting her know. Michael Rapoport is in the news as well for saying he might vote for Donald Trump. OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Look at me! Where do we stand on self-checkout if you have over 20 items? Walmart and Costco are removing their self-scanners over backlash? Huh? Self Checkout discussion is hot as the phones blow up over the issue.  Target has rolled out Pride Santa and LGBTQ nutcrackers, just continuing to pander. Why? Santa is already for everybody on the Nice List! Anheuser Busch has fired another marketing executive after they still have not recovered from the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco. Teasing the coming hour. Hour 3: Drive @ 5 - Sergeant Betsy Smith of the National Police Association joins us to break down the history of the Thin Blue Line, the banning of it in Springfield Township and how that came to be, and other attack against the symbol across the nation. What will come of that? More on Sergeant Smith's background as well. The Mainstream Media is panicking as they have a floundering candidate with an even worse one waiting in the wings, so they have no choice but to turn up the hateful rhetoric. So Johnathan Karl is doing his part by releasing a book that has the sole intention of swaying voters away from Trump in 2024.  The Philadelphia Marathon will take place this weekend with a new non-binary category. How do you qualify for that? Mike is calling BS on CNN as they go after him ahead of the election next year. One of his former staffers says he skipped an evangelical campaign event in Iowa, but have they forgotten he had sister's funeral? Which Presidents have had encounters with UFOs?  Hour 4 - The Zeoli Show in-house economist Dr. EJ Antoni joins us to end the show and details how he's using the White House's own numbers to point out how poorly they handled the economy and the continued gaslighting of citizens that things aren't that bad. Terrible energy policies have crippled us but instead we bend the knee to foreign adversaries to pump more oil for us instead of doing it ourselves for cheaper. What is the ‘Death Cross'? Health insurance costs have “dropped” 35% over the last year? No way, find somebody who had their costs dropped at all this year. Donald Trump caused an uproar when he came to a UFC event at Madison Square Garden. Wrapping up early for Penn State basketball.
