> In 2022 a tremendous amount of guns were taken off the streets. Additionally, the gang from Silver Lake (responsible for the worst mass shooting in Providence history) was taken off the streets. Those two things are very likely why there was a large decrease in violent crime for most of 2022. Not some imaginary downward trend.

This is a bad thing? This indicates an increase in violence?

You’re the guy who sees the largest increase in fentanyl seizures at the border as a bad thing.

I don't understand your post.

Taking the guns and the notorious gang off the streets was a good thing, and I believe it led to a big decrease in violence. But what I'm saying is that it was temporary.

As for fentanyl, I have no idea what you're talking about. Why would an increase in fentanyl seizures be a bad thing??

And 2022 was Elorza's last year in office. I don't know if he has future political aspirations, but the numbers in 2022 sure do make him look good. Maybe that's not a coincidence.
