#2> But a murder can also be declared cleared through what's known as an "exceptional means." For example, if a suspect is dead, can't be extradited or prosecutors refuse to press charges.
I don't see this as gaming the system. The police have done their job as far as it can be done. What do you want the cops to do in any of these cases? Are you accusing them of just stuffing random names into files?

#3Why limit this to unsolved murders?
How many police depts ignore property crime?
How many police depts have hour long wait times for 911 response?
How many 911 systems routinely delay or drop calls?
We had a story near here recently where a DUI accident investigation couldn't proceed because it took so long for police to arrive that the suspect sobered up enough
Or the woman who was hit by a car and the police took over an hour to respond
You can find these stories for every PD now
That said, NPR should be more honest an retitle this story to be about Oakland though, because that is what they wrote about

#4Why does the lead photo prominently feature a “racism is a sin” sign and the article immediately mentions PoC victims in Oakland? Isn’t the vast majority of PoC victimhood in Oakland intraracial? Not many Klansmen walking around Oakland. Annoying race baiting from NPR.

#5How about “more murders are being discovered” than before.
In old times, you could’ve done killed someone and blame it on anything.

Plenty of precedent for that.
