What Biden’s remarks left out

Biden touted a decrease in violent crime during his vice presidency and denounced a 2020 spike in murders under Trump. But he highlighted different metrics and different time sets for each administration. By doing so, Biden presented an incomplete and skewed picture of the crime data.

A more accurate examination of crime would focus on the same set of data and comparable time periods, said Jay Corzine, a criminologist at the University of Central Florida.

• The FBI figures on violent crime include the offenses of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Biden focused on this broader number for the claim about his vice presidency, and flagged only murder data for the claim on Trump’s record.

• Biden focused on numbers before and at the end of his eight-year tenure, 2008 and 2016. For Trump, he focused on about seven months for 2019 and 2020.

For the claim about his own record, Biden did not mention the murder rate. The murder rate in 2008 was the same as it was in 2016, 5.4 murders per 100,000 people.

Both the violent crime and murder rates went down in 2017 and in 2018, Trump’s first two years in office. (The FBI has not released final data for 2019.) Asher said that while murders so far were up in 2020 compared with 2019, "violent crime is roughly even."

How much does a president or vice president impact crime statistics?

Most of the influence any presidential administration has on crime statistics is indirect, based on their support for anti-crime measures and funding assistance, criminologists told PolitiFact.

"Most crime is local and what really impacts crime rates are local policing, state laws — what states and cities do," said James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University.

Homicide numbers are also volatile; there’s wide fluctuation from year to year that has nothing to do with laws or policies, Fox said. Built into the homicide figures are a lot of chance factors, such as where a bullet hits and whether the person is taken to a hospital on time, he said.

Murders in some cities have spiked this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, yet violent crime across the board (including property crime) hasn’t similarly increased, Corzine noted.

It’s unclear exactly why murders are up in some places. However, "bad things can happen in the course of idle time," Fox said, noting that the pandemic caused many people to be out of work and out of school with no summer activities.

Our ruling

Biden said, "When I was vice president, violent crime fell 15% in this country. ...

The violent crime rate fell nearly 16% from 2008, before Biden’s vice presidency, to 2016, his last full year as vice president. A crime analyst found that in some cities, the total number of murders has gone up at least 26% in 2020 compared with the same time frame in 2019 (experts said the crime rate likely would also be up about 26%).

But Biden’s comparison is based on snapshots of different crime data and at different time intervals during each presidency.

There’s data to support Biden’s claim, but his statement leaves out important details or takes things out of context.

We rate it Half True.

My honor is for the country and American people. Not the democrat party.

I know who and how the country will be run as it was meant to be. I don’t want to live in a socialist or communist country run by what the democrat party has become. I don’t want to be taken care of by the democrat party. I want to take care of myself, and work to make myself successful and be free and take care of my family. And the Republican Party can take care of the countries safety, inforce our constitution as it was meant to be and our laws to protect civilization.

Not just run our lives as the democrat party is trying to do. As they promise to take care of the ignorant as long as the voter for them, or else.

If you had 'honor', Figga, you would have served in a war you supported. Instead, you hid like a bed-wetting coward, shitting your pants like your Master Donald.

Thor, I did not run and hide from anything. I told you. I was drafted, went for the physical and everything. Went to work the next day and told them I was drafted.

Two days later, my employer where I learned my trade called me to the personnel office, and handed me papers that I was deferred from the draft because I was one of the men building the machines that made the ammunition for our military rifles. I was never drafted again. And my first marriage was soon after that war. And I never was drafted again, and no. I never joined because I already had a responsible life to live. And through the years, I have always put family first.

And unlike you and your kind. If there is a problem in my country, I am with the militia.

And I even went target practice early today. What is your sport? Smoking pot?

And by the way. The small war that I was at, was fighting the Black Panthers when they invaded my city of Waterbury CT. Oh my God. There was gun fire on long hill, and the corner of East Main and Cherry Street.

And there was hand to hand combat in the North Square. Good black and white guys fighting the evil Black Panthers to help the fire fighters to do their job of stopping the buildings on fire from burning. Most of our black citizens lived in the North Square not far from where a lot of Italian families lived.

The police liked the Rat Pack motorcycle club because they were like the National Guard backing them up.

Yeah,

You stayed home and played Rosie the Riveter,  we get it.

You could have just as easily turned down the deferment,  but nope.

You wanted to stay home with your racist buddies and kick black ass out of your town.
