I'm sure it is politically motivated, but city size also plays a factor. Chicago is a world class city with a significantly worse crime problem than NYC and LA. We shouldn't compare Chicago to St Louis as the two cities are completely different. When you compare Chicago to NYC and LA, you'll see how bad the crime problem really is.

Chicago gets ripped by the Trump crowd because they hate Obama and (for some weird reason) blame him for the violence in Chicago, as if he has anything to do with it.

That said, Chicago does have a crime problem. When you have far more murders than NYC + LA combined, and like 15x the murder rate of NYC, you've got an issue.

Second, the only city on that list comparable to Chicago is Philly, and they have comparable stats. The other cities are too small, or places like Detroit (like 80% black and mostly ghetto).

Do you have 2016 numbers? Ironic you avoid that year.
You know when the crime rate skyrocketed. But by all means lets sing lala and live in denial. That always works!

Money has nothing to do with repairing the sub-culture. Fifty years of the Great Society, hundreds of billions of dollars wasted, and the result is a 75% illegitimacy rate within the black community, leading to generational poverty and the never-ending cycle. It has nothing to do with big brother needing to dump more money into this rot.

It's like Afghanistan; we cannot spend our way out of it. The change has to happen within the communities, not with educated and law-abiding people moving to dangerous neighborhoods.
