LAPD and NYPD are the best police departments not fair, we don't have that type of police involvement in Southern cities like New Orleans and Memphis.
But but... you have your guns... Guns make cities safer, you have lot of good guys with guns so... And in L.A and N.Y.C very few people have guns..
Guns... They so primitive

11 in Phoenix for January is not a high number for a city of 1.6 million people.
Last year they had 152 homicides as of mid-December but the city has 1.6 million people, which means that they average about 13 homicides per month in Phoenix.
Phoenix has twice the homicide rate of the national average but is still only a fraction per-capita of many American Cities.
It was an extremely warm January also in Phoenix but overall that is about average for a month in Phoenix.
