What's Down is Up

SO THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT!

Crime is down in New York City, right? Well, reported crime is down:

"Well, now the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association has come out and said, in essence, 'Eh, we were just making the whole thing up.' The numbers were going down, they said, because hundreds of crimes were going unreported by precinct supervisors, and others were being downgraded from felonies to misdemeanors."

Right. What looks good on paper isn't always good in reality.
