Detroit Declared Most Dangerous US City Well, heck. I've got the answer to that.
Just get the Republicans out of city government.
No brainer.

The critics totally miss the point — on purpose, of course. The study merely points out the facts. It is not concerned about why people commit all these crimes, only that the crimes are occurring.
That said, some people might weight the gravity of the various crimes differently, so there is room for debate.

More and more of these Most Dangerous City reports are being released. Seems like monthly now.

The study excluded Chicago, Minneapolis, and other Illinois and Minnesota cities because of incomplete data.The statistics gatherers were eaten, or were otherwise unaccounted for??

More dangerous than New Orleans? That’s not what I read, although it’s of course in the Top Ten.

I don’t know about the other cities, but the rape rate in Detroit is almost certainly underreported in the uniform crime reports by an order of magnitude or more. At least, it was the last time I checked, when I compared my own suburb to the D.

The leader of the Conference of Mayors is an obvious shill, and expected to defend the worst of the worse among Mayors and cities. The other guy who objects doesn't say that the results are false, but only that they are "harmful." What are his background and politics?
Comparative statistics are ALWAYS harmful to somebody. Comparison means that numbers will demonstrate who is best, who is worst, and how all those in between, are rated.

Detroit was pegged the nation's murder capital in the 1980s and has lost nearly 1 million people since 1950, according to the Census Bureau.Living in Detroit means you may die young but you'll still get to vote after you're gone.

Would be nice if the article included the complete list, it does not.

More and more of these Most Dangerous City reports are being released. It's almost like a badge of honor for liberals to declare as much ... in some perverse way it give them *gravitas* for surviving in such a hostile environment .. it gives them a sense of *toughness* as it were.
There is nothing new about Detroit being declared "most dangerous" ... when I was in college in the late 70's, my roommate hailed from the Bronx (NYC), and a report came over that Detroit was ranked as the 'most dangerous city' ... my roommate literally said "Thank God! It isn't New York" ......
LOL
To: Lazarus Longer
Hmm - and here I was told it was New Orleans .....

Fairbanks Alaska was ranked #4 a couple years ago. Once the pipeline days are over it will drop back to its accustomed #750.

How can you tarnish a tarnished image? Sorry, but what little remained of Detroit’s glorious past has been flushed completely. It’s Dresden, USA.

The statistics gatherers were eaten, or were otherwise unaccounted for??Cooked? They wouldn't be the first metro areas caught cooking their crime stats...
