Wouldn't that mean previous years would have also had similar percentage increase in crime? There's no correlation.
Could be a delayed reaction. It may not have responded immediately. It could be getting worse this year or it may have little to no effect. I was just throwing it out there. I've run into a lot of people on heroin lately. A couple years ago I didn't know anybody on it. In the last month a couple guys I work with were fired because of it.
A lot of cities are seeing big increases this year. Houston is up 59%. New Orleans is up 20%. Birmingham is up 63%. Atlanta is up 32%. NYC is up 10%. Chicago is up 15%. Detroit is up 25%. DC and Philly are up a little, Baltimore is just exploding and Milwaukee is up 180%!
Hmmm, yes, i ran it again and realized that I had messed up the date range. 36 from 1/14 until 4/15. Six seems like a much more reasonable number! I feel safer all of a sudden
Should I edit my post, or do you think that will make this thread too difficult to follow?
Portland, Oregon does not have a huge Black population, so I am not surprised Portland has a low per capita murder rate for a big city.
My city of 620k residents has a murder rate of 1,2 and Finland was supposed to be violent compared to the rest of West...
Finland is Whiter than sour cream, that is why your cities on average are less violent. Your cities do not have a large urban inner city Black underclass population. Click on this video to see what a typical high crime neighborhood in America looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzs9EButJIo
You know you are in a high crime neighborhood in America when a lot of the guys living there dress and talk like the guys that you see in a prison yard. You know you are in a high crime neighborhood in America when the sight of guys covering their mouths with bandanas, sagging their pants, and shirt less guys with tattoos all over their bodies are very common.

Boston is also 6 times larger than killeen and has less homicides.
Yea, that's my point. The city with the higher number of blacks has less crime.
