FULL TITLE.... Detroit regains its crown as most violent large city in America, overtaking St Louis, according to new FBI data

Detroit was America’s most violent big city in 2016, according to the latest government data released on Monday 

The Motor City experienced more murders last year than Los Angeles even though the latter’s population is four times that of the former, the FBI’s new crime study revealed on Monday.

Detroiters, however, aren’t buying it.

‘I reject [these findings],’ Detroit Police Chief James Craig told the Detroit Free Press.

‘Just because it’s coming out of the FBI’ doesn’t mean it’s correct, the police chief said.

The FBI claims in its findings that Detroit witnessed a 15.7 per cent increase in violent crime in 2016 compared to the previous year.

Big city cops holding back to save their careers and lives. Who can blame them. They aren’t wanted in certain neighborhoods and only go there when they absolutely have to.
