So because Detroit's homicide rate is surpassed by "surprise" the next three largest AA majority cities, that notion is a myth? Detroit's homicide rate still comically outpaces virtually every city in the country.
There's 7 decades of statistical data that supports that demographical trend.
Despite that neither of the cities are nearly as black as Detroit, average annual murder rates since 1990 are 54 per 100k in New Orleans, 48 per 100k in St. Louis, 45 per 100k in Baltimore, and 43 per 100k in Detroit. To mention 7 decades of statistical data is bologna when there's not a specific source where one can find homicide data for nearly every large city over the last 7 decades.
These ones happened in the Town of Mount Royal (which is a posh rich area) and then one at a pizzeria on St. Denis in downtown, which is a very hustle and bustle area. Stuff like this is rare but the past two years have been brutal.
Thankfully people spoke out yesterday and are pissed, so the mayor is *somewhat* doing something now. She kept on giving the excuse that we have a lower murder rate/safest major city on the continent. People don't care about that, they just want a safe city and yesterdays grilling of the mayor by people on social media should wake politicians up.
Ugh all the politicians...all the talking no action as usual

For all the talk about NYC being "dangerous", its homicide TOTAL is not even at Houston level, with 4x the population. For that matter, LA (City limit) has 2x the population as Houston and its homicide TOTAL is also lower.
tl;dr: Houston is having a really bad year...sure, compare to Baltimore (city) it's not THAT bad, but most places look good compare to the total craziness of Baltimore.

For this one, just to remember that MDC in total is closer to 90-100. Safer than before but the crime map only goes back 6 months total, so you can only see crimes on the map from February until August atm. Miami city proper is at 32-33 + MDC is around 60.
