    And? That doesn’t show crime went away.

      I think you'll find it does.

      You could ask the police and find they have no record of any crime occurring after they were abolished.

        Now you are just trolling. You are confusing reported crime with crime.

        As you can tell from blue cities, cutting the police radically increased crime. Now they are sitting around wondering why.

        That is why SF is trying to fix it, but it is most likely too late.
