Man...the numbers just don't seem to match what they are saying...what a cruel joke California is on the rest of us in America.!!

"There were a total of 355 homicides in Los Angeles last year, compared to 256 reported in 2019, said LAPD Officer Tony Im. And so far this year, 239 homicides occurred in Los Angeles as of Aug. 14, according to crime statistics released by police.
That’s an over 23% jump from the 194 killings reported through the first seven months in 2020, and a 46% increase from the 163 reported through the first seven months of 2019."
