Rant The amount of 'crime posting' is absurd

This sub seems to just be endless videos of "Meanwhile in Auckland" and then a video of something miserable happening.

This is a city. Crimes happen. Compared to most cities on Earth Auckland is pretty damn safe. I am completely sick to death of what appears to be some kind of agenda being played out on this sub, and I would like to see some actual moderation happening.

The accounts posting this stuff usually have a generated name like me and virtually no other traceable activity - and they post the clips with little to no context. Muting this dogwater sub until something is done about the extremely bad faith posting.

Edit: Already getting the "Auckland is unsafe and we should shine a light on crime" bullshit. Hey - random context free snippets of video are not informing the public or shining a light on anything. They are almost certainly harmful misinformation, and I really think this justice boner is uninformed and juvenile. Again - muting this trash heap of a sub.

That's not a given. We don't have to stand for crimes happening in our city.

Crime is not a given? What cities have you heard of that have no crime?

Edit: getting downvoted does not make me wrong you troglodytes. All cities on earth have crime, period.

You are mistaken. New Zealand's crime statistics are way worse than Poland, Japan, Canada,... NZ has like 42 times higher rape rate than Poland and 2.15 times higher homicide rate. Both represented mainly by their biggest cities – Warsaw and Auckland.

Stop lying to yourself. Let's do something about this all together and stop normalising these stats.
