He hasn't really done squat.

It's the Mayors themselves that are throwing cops under the bus wherever they can while civil rights leaders quietly sit at the back of the bus so they don't lose their DNC speaking gigs or have their spouses board seat $$$ gig revoked or $$$ speaking engagements canceled or kids $$$ jobs with various influential organizations or companies curtailed.

They don't want to end up like Cindy Sheehan.

Obama has been in office since 2009.

Crime in many cities have actually gone down since that time.

Looking at only murder rates each individual year does not give a true reflection of trending crime rates in a particular municipality.

Chicago was mentioned in the OP and I'm sure throughout the thread thus far. They had over 500 murders in 2008 and 2012. There were less in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 and 2016 so far than the highs of those years.

There were nearly 1000 murders in Chicago in 1994 in comparison. Crime is WAY down there from an historic perspective, both distant from the 1970s-1990s and more recent from the early 2000s to today. In 2000 there were over 600 murders in Chicago. It hasn't gotten that high in over a decade.
