so in #germany the national crime rate went down in 2021. again.
like it does in *every* year for like 25 years in a row now.
but about 2/3rd of the german population thinks, the crime rate is rising "quickly" or even "very quickly". like they do *every* year.
and meanwhile fundamental rights and freedom rights are being cut and the fucking cops get more weapons and rights to do shit.

while i think that the police needs less rights, funding and weapons because no government is a good government, i also think that those statistics are carefully fine-tuned to show that mass immigration without (at least!) any short-,mid- and long-term plan for employment or sane housing is nothing to worry about.
if i look at nearby bigger cities (>150k), they were rather safe to walk at night ten years ago, while now there are frequent reports of woman getting abused, knife fights, beatings.. that _might_ be due to increased reporting, but i doubt that that's the sole reason.
