The article you linked states that the arrest rates went up 585 % since 2024.
The article gathered the information from government reports for all 50 states including Hawaii. They showed the actual number arrests increased as well as the percentage. It is accurate.
I’ve heard and seen officials, TV stations, and websites conjure numbers and percentages out of thin air to “prove” an agenda they wish to promote. I’ve also heard that people watch these sources on a regular basis. And no matter how often the information is proved incorrect the viewers continue to watch.
I don’t know about you, but if someone repeatedly lies to me, I avoid them. Except as an occasional curiosity, or when I look for the source of a new word their parrots have been taught.
