I did. Murders are up 50% but overall crime is flat, including overall violent crime. The percentage is misleading, too, because the raw numbers are still quite low. NYC doesn’t even crack the top 70 deadliest cities in the US.

Based on the numbers, NYC probably isn’t even in the top 200 of deadliest cities. At some point you have to switch to “safest cities” instead.
Maybe the US DoJ should defund St Louis? Or maybe not because that would be idiotic and counter intuitive.
