There's a 50% chance you will get away with murder in America

[Seoul Gleou]

58% to be exact

SHOCK STATISTIC: 50% of American murders now going unsolved | Toronto Sun SHOCK STATISTIC: 50% of U.S. murders now going unsolved

I'm guessing the 42% are rich, white, or both.

Dont ask me how I know but its true. The tv show CSI literally exposed how many cities and areas have forensics and crime labs are underfunded, back logged, outdated and etc. The homicide clearance rates are low compared to back in the days. We are not even talking about the police and the prosecutors. That was 20 years ago that this was a problem. A lot of murderers are walking amongst us.

Most of the victims in the mounting tally of unsolved murders are poor and Black.

“Take a bunch of teenage boys from the whitest, safest suburb in America and plunk them down in a place where their friends are murdered and they are constantly attacked and threatened,” author Jill Leovy wrote in Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America.

“Signal that no one cares, and fail to solve murders. Limit their options for escape. Then see what happens.”

the clearance rates back in the days were fake cause they jailed black people for crimes they didn't commit and threatened them with football numbers if they didn't take the plea deal which they continue to do today.

Yep. Police actually have to do police work nowadays. TV got people believing cops are super sleuths with fancy tech labs. "Enhance...enhance..." ass bullshyt.

when gabby petito went missing it seems like regular ass americans were doing the investigative work. people drawing on all types of knowledge and skill piecing together clues which goes to show that a lot of police simply aren't smart enough to solve a lot of crime.

A lot of surveillance footage is inconclusive without corroboration, "general warrants" aren't a thing anymore, and encryption makes it harder to get into data troves.

From what I understand, once cops run out of primary leads like known associates/enemies, the cases difficulty goes up by orders of magnitude.

This has been the case for a long time. Not just now.

There are murderers walking amongst you, and they will never be caught.
