Look at how massive the manhunt for both Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson were. Then look at how they were actually caught.
️Two phone calls.
If you doubled the manpower, but halved the phone calls, your solve rate would be cut in half.
If you halved the manpower, but doubled the phone calls, your solve rate would double. You'd close two other murders currently listed as unsolved.
Read the above again and again until you understand it.
Adding more cops and giving them arrest quotas and permission to brutalize Black people, doubles your manpower, and halves your calls.
This makes murder easier to get away with.
Then violent people rack up massive body counts. They get more comfortable and less careless with each incremental killing.

@mekkaokereke They've made the strategic decision that it's more important to *be seen* to be tough on crime than to actually be tough on crime.
A large part of that reasoning has to be racism.
The way it plays out here in the UK (where we don't have that many murders) is with stop-and-search. Even the police say it's ineffective, but right-wing politicians insist on it cos it harasses Black boys and their base likes that.

@davidnjoku @mekkaokereke In Brussels you have 10 ticket inspectors (with security one their backs) with 10 police officers (meta security) checking for tram ticket *cheats*.
Yet a train can be functioned with one person.
Its one of my sports to remind the police that their bosses are part of a process wasting over 500 EUR an hour to identify the poorest persons on the network.
Im certain these stats get dumped into local policing statistics - as opposed to real community protection.
