Wonder if he plans to America as dangerous as South Bend.
Seems like in 2010 it had homicide rates similar to national average, then after a few years of his failed leadership it went to three times the national average.
17 homicides that occured two years in a row under his watch when he had already been mayor for years.
Homicides went from 6 just two years before his failed leadership took over to a whopping 17 homicides for a city of 100,000 people.
Odd, how this failure of a mayor who can't even run a city of 100,000 people thinks he qualified to be President.
At least a Bloomberg if he would have run could have showcased low crime rates, South Bend on the other hand has a homicide rate that is triple or more of the national average and four times the rate of NYC.
Like many Democrats are good speaker who is very much like a persuasive lemon car salesman trying to manipulate the gullible.
When you are dealing with small sample size like that you need to be very careful about reading anything into it. You need to look at the long term trend. There is small city near me with population of about 40K and you always have these swings in the murder rate. Annually it's typically not that bad however it has spiked to rates above even somewhere like Detroit.
The murder rate of a city isn't tied to the political affiliation of the mayor.
It can certainly be tied to the policies of who is running that city, property crime in Seattle and San Francisco for example is off the charts because of liberal policies.

OP is also using classic cherry picking by citing the lowest year in the past 2 decades as some sort of "baseline" when in reality the general numbers after the guy took office are about the same.
