Paul Manafort doubts FBI statistics after agency spared HillaryBy Theodore Schleifer, CNN

"SNIP..............
(CNN)Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Thursday the FBI's statistics on crime should be viewed skeptically since the agency recommended that Hillary Clinton not be charged for her use of private email.
CNN's Jake Tapper asked in an interview why the campaign emphasizes fears of rising crime levels even though FBI data shows a drop.
Manafort replied: "People don't feel safe in their neighborhoods. I'm not sure what statistics you're talking about."
"The FBI is certainly suspect these days after what they just did with Hillary Clinton," he added.

(989 posts)6. If rural whites don't feel safe in their neighborhoods or in suburbia it's because of rampant drug
use that is now overtaking them (heroin, oxy, meth). POC don't live in their neighborhoods. I do believe white on white crime is on the increase. A few cities have reported uptick in violent crime but basically violent crime has gone down since 2009. Pundits should call it like it is but they won't.
