Nope. Blame the shitbag mayor and city counsel that is destroying the CPD morale internally and politics. Wait till the next woke CLEO is picked and it'll be worse

We are on the high side this year. The record is like 150 and average is around 110 or 115.
It almost all inner city crime (black on black or muslim on muslim). |

No, Columbus hasn't been this bad until a few years ago.
Violent crime has noticeably gone up in the last 3 - 4 years. Between the black on black crime, the methbillys in Lindon and the white trash in the hilltop area you pretty much know where the crime is going on and where it isn't. |

has risen 50 percent or more this year alone. Not sure the actual numbers.
There is a youtube channel called "Columbus Police body camera" run by what i assume is a CPD employee. Its not their official channel. He has posted the stats a couple times this year. He will also post a monthly shooting report on his community youtube page. Its going up exponentially this year. Not even near this bad last year though it was slowly climbing then too |

It’s actually a pretty cool channel and a deep time sucking rabbit hole. Once you start to watch you can’t stop and the next thing you know it’s 1am. |

It got exponentially worse when Columbus officers lost their discretion and ability to arrest and/or summons on the large majority of misdemeanor crime that patrol officers deal with.

Huh, that’s interesting. So in other words tying the hands of police behind their back because of PC bullshit leads to an increase in violent crime. Imagine that. |

Grew up on the west side of Columbus in the 80s, as a teenager I walked all over from Westgate to the bottoms, there was certain areas I avoided because I knew they were bad(mainly black) basically when I left the house I felt safe even late at night, I knew if I went looking for trouble I could find it, if I used even a little common sense that things would be fine, anymore it’s a crime infested hell hole, makes me kinda sad in a lot of ways.

Nearly all of the murders are in absolute dog shit parts of town. Most of the rest of Columbus is decent.

I grew up in the Columbus area and this isn't anything new. I can remember in the late 80's and early 90's "community leaders" screaching on the news about the homicide rate. These numbers today aren't that far off from then. People just have short memories. Just like then, I'm sure the majority of deaths are gang related. Thats how it's always been. The drug business has been firmly entrenched with the different sets in the Linden, Leonard Avenue and the Miller-Kelton areas for nearly 40 years. That all came about when Crack hit the scene.
As stated, a good number of the homicides are almost always tied to a couple gangs, be it from bad deals, turf encroachment or just being caught in the middle. Then you have people try to cowboy shit and they get put down for it. Then once somebody takes a slug, their friends or their set wants payback. That shit keeps bumping the numbers up. The funeral homes stay in business, the cemetaries fill up and the previously mentioned "community leaders" get more airtime. In the mid 90's I knew a Columbus PD homicide detective and one day I asked him, "Do you ever feel sorry for the victims in your cases." He stared at me for a minute and finally said, "In most cases no." In my naivete I was shocked and asked why, he replied, "Aside from the truly innocent like kids or someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, most of these fuckin' people brought it on themselves." I thought that was a fucked up answer at first, then later I understood. |

Police presence and clarity of action proactively works to reduce overall crime and violent crime in particular. If your chances of getting caught increase, your risk / reward instinct kicks in to rethink your options.
As Sgt Fish well knows, I worked in a very violent area in the 90s. We engaged, with the full agreement of true community leaders, in broken windows policing. A gum wrapper on the sidewalk got a littering ticket. After two years, our violent crime rate dropped by 70%. Our drug crime increased dramatically, but without murder mutilation and mayhem. I asked one of the frequent flyers why he kept coming back to the projects knowing he was going to get arrested frequently? He answered because here that's the worst that happens. He gets arrested and loses his dope. On the other side of the street, he gets killed by rival dealers. |

It has gotten worse over the years. Democrat mayor and city council have ran it into the ground. I think the homicide record was broken a few years ago and continues to be broken every year.
Has nothing to do with protests. The Democrats that run the city remove most educational funding from inner city urban areas. That just helps keep kids on the streets. Drugs have saturated these areas. Columbus is also one of the highest human trafficking areas in the country. 10TV had a nice Crime Tracker interactive map. Not sure if it still works: https://www.10tv.com/crimetracker-10 |

Just got done fighting my way out of the city.
670 is completely shutdown due to a rolling shooting that started at Easton and went all the way to 71/670. What a fucking disaster. An entire family was shot up, kids and all. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/goodale-street-columbus-shooting-06-25-2021 |

Remember back in March when the idiot decided to drive the wrong way on I-270 at 80 miles per hour because he was trying to shake off the pursuing police vehicles, and the cops subsequently shot him to death? Guess who got stuck in THAT traffic jam for an hour!

Jim Being a caucasian male myself, not for all the tea in China would I become a police officer in any “ culturally diverse” area where it’s a given the political scum three and four levels above me are going to throw me to the wolves if I ever had to use my weapon on one of their shitbag “clients.” And for that matter, I wouldn’t even want to be a cop in Mayberry today, either. Because the county is too fucked in the head with “wokeness” today. But having said that, let me add that I appreciate all that you guys do. |
