Flint is at 39 until July 25th: link. That's high for a city with slightly less than 100.000 people. It may end up with a homicide rate in the 70s for the whole of 2021 if the current trend continues.

Sure about Seattle ''doing better'' this year than last year?
Doesn't Seattle have 27 homicides today compared with 50 total in 2020. Isn't Seattle currently trending to shatter the 2020 total?
Seattle cut 100 cops from its police department last year?
Nothing about repeating Republican talking points, just actual facts.
Shatter? This is a major exaggeration. Just using basic mathematics refutes the term “shatter.†The year is over halfway over. 210 days have passed and there have been 29 murders committed. If we extrapolate the amount of murders based on the amount of days passed, Seattle is on course for exactly 50.69 total murders for the entire year. This past weekend was likely an aberration, but even with it, Seattle is not suddenly some murderous city due to defunding the police.

Palm Beach County is doing awesome with only 56 so far. Over 1.5 million people live there which would make it 3.73 per 100k. And NYC's numbers are just incredible. Do you have the number for Broward County?

Where are San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose? All three of them are comfortably lower than any of these cities. Interesting how people talk about high crime in CA yet three of its four biggest cities are among the safest in the country.

San Francisco has an incredibly high property crime rate. California in general does. They're far more common crimes so being a "victim" is more likely than a lot of other places.
