#1 an American Psychological Association study released last month found that crime rates have actually decreased in the past two decades

Quite true, and a well known fact. Thank you, Broken Windows policing and Stop & Frisk! Plus, we threw a whole bunch of people in jail.

The issue here is that rates are suddenly and dramatically rising after a long continuous decline. Why? Could it possibly be because a mob forms every time an officer gets out of his car?

"But these are just facts," he joked. "They don't count."

Hands up, don't shoot.
Black Lives Matter.
Global Warming. Oops! Climate Change.

#3 Cell phones didn't have cameras 10 years ago, never mind 20 years.

#4 Mr Noah is thrashing about with strawmen trying to get the Daily Show audience to come back.

Funny to use stats about crime from decades before Ferguson to debunk the Ferguson effect without talking about how things may have changed after the Ferguson riots. He's an idiot or a scoundrel (probably both).

#5 #1 & #2 - true - Fox Butterfield effect: "We have more people arrested and imprisoned, yet the crime rate keeps falling? Could there be a linkage? Naaahhhh"

Noah is flailing. I bet they have daily ratings meetings
