Kind of unfair that the “urban” side of Rio is featured more so than in any other New World city.

Unfair? No, the coverage is pretty accurate.

You seem to equate the extent of criminality in Brazil with that of the US. Clearly, you have no idea of the reality.

Settle down. I did not say “the US”, just the cities that had their olympics here... like Los Angeles and Atlanta. Heck, throw in Chicago (future US olympics venue) and it is probably MORE violent than Rio.
