But it's looking like the 2020 rate is going to be up 30% year over year: https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2021/02/03/homicide...
Do we have 30% less trust of government and institutions than we did last May? If so, what caused that?

Thank you for the link. I'm having trouble locating the national rate for 2020 -- Most reports seem to be from a sample of a few dozen cities. Maybe it takes more time to report the nation data?
A %30 YoY increase is a dramatic increase, but also seems to be considerably lower than a few decades ago, if I'm understanding correctly?
And yeah we would still be lower than the murder rate from decades ago. 5.0 per 100,000 times .3 gets you 6.5, that's lower than the murder rate from 1968 to 1997 if you trust the numbers at http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm.
I lived through the 90s murder rate in a high crime city, I'll be doing that again as an old man I guess.
