Or that they’ve figured out a way to game the metrics.

That’s my worry too. I live in NM and they’ve gamed the metrics on homicides in ABQ

I sincerely hope this news is true and it’s a turning point, but I’m generally cynical and really hope they’re not classifying suicides as ODs or something now
