Also around half of murders in NYC are solved (by that it means someone was arrested and charged, not necessarily convicted). Despite this widespread video surveillance. It makes me wonder what is the point of all that if their crime resolution rate is that low.
Which will basically be like Tsarist Russia, which was humiliated countless times in the 19th century and ww1 in no small part due to their big military officers being appointed due to noble rank rather than merit or ability.
