Obama made some favorable comments on anti-police brutality protests. But they were appropriate, IMO. Something needed to said and done.

Yeah one wouldn't know that St. Louis was the murder capital the last two years and on pace to be once again this year.

I'll be truthful in that noone really care about what happens in St. Louis the same way noone care about what go on in Detroit, Memphis etc. Chicago is a big city with alot more buzz but there's also more people dying in those ghettos.

Everybody on here always checking out the rate of murder. You also have to look at how many families been ruined by the violence because those lives are not rates.

You can look at it how you want to, but if City A has a higher rate than City B, a larger proportion of families were ruined by violence in City A than in City B.

True but if you pack all those families from A and B into a room then we'll have alot more families ruined if B is larger. St. Louis streets are nothing to play with though. Any Chicago "savage" would get mopped up in Stl if he bring that big city mentality with them. Just like if they bring that dumb stuff to Cali thinking it's sweet lol. But that is never a good thing.

Yea it's rough no doubt. But to what standard ?. Memphis's ? . That's bad for what they've been having but if you look around , other cities have been passed what they're going through right now.
