I could use more homicide detectives, but if the state is backed up, the court is backed up, we will still have the same problem by developing these cases that we&#8217;re already doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The city of Jackson&#8217;s police department has only eight homicide detectives, but responded to 153 murders in the last year, which for a population of about 160,000 makes it one of the highest per capita rates in the country. FBI guidelines suggest that each detective take no more than five cases at a time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s never been this bad,&#8221; says\u00a0Thomas Hargrove of the Murder Accountability Project. &#8220;During the last seven months of 2020, most murders went unsolved. That&#8217;s never happened before in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/watch-tucker-carlson-warns-entire-country-will-be-memphis-if-we-dont-put-a-stop-to-this-insanity-right-now\/\">Tucker Carlson<\/a> expressed frustration about the situation on his show, arguing that nobody in power seems to care or prioritize solving some of these cases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Authorities have offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who can find the person who left a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-fbi-concludes-no-federal-crime-was-committed-in-bubba-wallace-noose-incident\">noose<\/a> at Obama&#8217;s presidential library,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;What&#8217;s interesting is, for perspective, is that there&#8217;s no $100,000 reward outstanding for the, say, thousands of unsolved murders in this country and that&#8217;s a lot of murders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another issue that exacerbates the situation is the erosion of trust between the police and the communities they serve, a result of an increasing number of high-profile police misconduct cases, making it harder to receive tips or to get help from witnesses<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve gotten in our own way,&#8221; Philadelphia Police Department commissioner Danielle Outlaw\u00a0told CBS News, referring to these episodes of police misconduct. &#8220;It has to be a two-way street, as it is with any relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The picture varies throughout the country, with cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/lori-lightfoot-takes-aim-at-colorado-springs-violence-despite-chicagos-skyrocketing-homicide-rate\">Chicago<\/a> particularly grim, where last year&#8217;s murder clearance rate was just 24 percent.<\/p>\n<p>To put that figure differently, it means that three out of four killers in Chicago are still roaming the streets.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new investigation from CBS has revealed that murders across the US are going unsolved at a historic pace.The murder clearance rate \u2013 the share of cases that are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1759155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1759152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1759152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1759152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1759152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1759155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1759152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1759152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1759152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
