LOL! Good point. It is also 36 less than 2007, so that's good, right? The new Police Commissioner is totally promoting the "Gun Violence" mantra where the GUN. not the PERSON is at fault. God forbid innocent, law abiding people be able to defend themselves.

If they just deducted North Philly and West Philly from the stats, it would remove 90% of the murders, maybe more. Can't piss off those Dem block voters though, have to count everything they do.

Actually Chicago is moving in a better direction. They are reporting 515 murders for 2019. That is down 55 from 2018 and 2018 was down 105 from 2017 murders.

Philadelphia is trending slowly upward every year getting closer to high water marks of the mid 2000's.
