New Orleans set to finish 2019 with lowest murder rate since 1986

As for statistics, many crimes are not part of the statistics because the cops show up too late. My neighbor had both cars hit by a drunk driver. Cops showed seven hours later and told him she probably wouldn’t test positive now. Result was report on car wreck but no crime. This is happening often in many situations. Someone on here disparaged Nextdoor.com but I trust the neighbor I know over a politician's reporting of stats. Crime is up even in what used to be safe areas.
