FBI releases hate crime numbers, but data is incomplete
CBSN
The FBI released its 2021 hate crime statistics, but the data falls short of providing a complete picture of targeted violence in the U.S. Despite rising concerns about targeted violence and domestic terrorism, less than two-thirds of law enforcement agencies reported data on hate crimes to the FBI, last year, marking a significant drop-off. 44.2% were intimidation 35.9% were simple assault 18.3% were aggravated assault
There are more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S., but reporting hate crimes data by state, local and tribal agencies remains voluntary.
The FBI reported 65% of victims were targeted because of their offenders' bias against race and ethnicity, while 16% were targeted because of the offenders' bias toward their sexual orientation and 13% were targeted because of their religion.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
