It's funny how SWB loves to celebrate the reduction in crime....Homicides are up 63% since she took office.

Data from the coroners office:

2022 Homicides - 135
2021 Homicides - 170
2020 Homicides - 136
2019 Homicides - 97
2018 Homicides - 105
2017 Homicides - 124 (Broome takes office)
2016 Homicides - 83
2015 Homicides - 95
2014 Homicides - 73
2013 Homicides - 79
2012 Homicides - 96
2011 Homicides - 90
2010 Homicides - 89
2009 Homicides - 95
2008 Homicides - 93

Are those East Baton Rouge Parish or Baton Rouge only?

I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but if it's East Baton Rouge - it's out of a pool that's twice the population, which might make it seem less acute of a problem.

IMO it's still a big problem. Broom is incompetent and needs to lose the next election, but it's a theme among a lot of American cities right now: Crime is up, enforcement is down.

Those numbers seem staggeringly low.

It's hard to believe there is only one murder every 3 days or so in BR.

Everyone said she would take some sort of credit for a reduction after the 2021 record. And here she is. And no one will call her out and hold her accountable on…

So, the trick to reducing murder is to get all your murdering done the year before?
