Or maybe that fewer police = fewer crimes being caught and tracked for statistic purposes

Crimes aren't tracked by completion rate, just by report. While staffing rates might be down, that wouldn't affect total number of crimes reported as nearly all people are covered by third party 911 service.

But you see that would be an intelligent argument.

That's not the kind of argument these people make.
