Why won’t the LAPD give the public usable crime data?

Los Angeles has a growing roadkill problem.
Why is there more roadkill than ever before in Los Angeles? Lingering effects of the pandemic may be partly to blame.

Los Angeles abandoned its effort to make streets safer. Thank you @goldenstateorg.bsky.social and @paulthornton.bsky.social for citing @crosstownla.bsky.social reporting on this travesty.

The Los Angeles Police Department has failed to publish its crime reports for the past 19 months. So we are trying to piece together the the crime picture as best we can.
First chart: homicides. There have been 7 fewer homicides so far this year than during the same period last year.
