Hate crime reports across Los Angeles are up 13% over last years record-setting levels, according to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who said he believes inflammatory rhetoric on social media was contributing to the increase.
The new statistics, presented at Tuesdays Police Commission meeting, showed that with less than two weeks left in the year the city will almost certainly top 2021s total of 615 reported hate crimes. That tally was the most among large U.S. metropolitan areas, and the third-highest annual total in any U.S. city since the 1970s.
So far in 2022, crimes against LGBTQ people have risen to 30 from 19 at this time last year, while those against Jewish people have jumped from 72 to 88. But as in other major cities, Black Angelenos remain the most targeted group, the departments figures show. The number of hate-related incidents involving Black residents jumped 36% to 279, according to the departments figures.
The only group to see a decrease in the number of attacks or other crimes was the citys Asian American and Pacific Islander subgroups, which were victimized in 20% fewer incidents compared with a year ago, when they experienced a sizable uptick in incidents. California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta referred to last years numbers as an epidemic of hate.

Those figures are the exact opposite of the narrative that right wing shit heads are constantly pushing, so I don't see this topic getting much traction.
