Rahm Emanuel is pushing back against suggestions that violence in his city is out of control, touting new statistics that show violent crime is down in Chicago
“The narrative is: We’re the murder capital. Not close,” the Chicago mayor said during an interview with POLITICO.
When asked about perception of crime in Chicago, Emanuel was quick to note that he is most concerned with the opinions of his city’s residents about the safety of their communities. But the mayor still seems frustrated with the media, which he feels is focusing on individual incidents of crime without telling the whole story.

He’s right murder is not capitalized.
Chicago is none the less the murder capital.

Rahm may be right.
Mosul may have a higher murder rate.
Rahm might want to ask; “Would you rather live in Chicago or Mosul?”

Well Rahm if the media capitalizes on individual cases, then why don’t you tell us the whole story. The whole story you say the media isn’t telling.
I have a feeling that whole story would be a sad story of gang violence, the criminal element getting guns in spite of Chicago’s strict gun control laws, urban feral ghetto cultural attitudes spawning violence, etc. Does Rahm really want to tell that story? Then he might have to talk about what his administration has done to stem the tide of violence in his city.

Yeah, the whole story Chicago is also UGLY, LEFTIST, a hell-hole, the place where scum like obama and hillary are spawned, weather sucks, the people are ignorant, in addition to the crime. That's the WHOLE STORY, 'Rahm'!

Reminds me of when the Fat One, Michael Moore, came out with his first film Roger & Me. The then-Mayor of Flint was asked for a comment.
His comment was “why couldn’t he have made this movie about Youngstown?”

Ha ha... there you go. That might work.

Yeah, if there’s a story to tell, it isn’t a good one. We won’t hear it.
