Someone was shot and set on fire too. Jesus. Chicago is wild.
Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philly, New Orleans, Memphis, Houston, Saint Louis, Kansas City is just different beast than NYC. Smaller cities like Chester, PA and Gary, Indiana is very crazy also. Chicago is segregated it mostly south side and parts of west side of the city other areas in the city crime is low.
Usually you can just type in the city's name on Google and put homicides or murders behind it and the 1st or 2nd link will be the official homicide tracker for that city. "Baltimore murders", "Chicago murders", "Kansas City murders" etc. That works for at least half the cities I look up.
Agenda must be failing in this instance, hardly anyone in the 21st century considers NYC to be more dangerous than Houston, part of its appeal is that despite being a large city the crime is relatively low.
And you've omitted a an abundant amount of statistics. Black Americans make up >14% of the population.
[*]Black Americans are 3x more likely to be murdered by police compared to White Americans
[*]Black Americans 1.3x more likely to be unarmed compared to White Americans
[*]47% of unarmed people killed by the 100 largest city police departments were black. These police departments killed unarmed black people at a rate 4 times higher than unarmed white people.
[*]Black people were 38% of people killed by these 100 police departments despite being only 21% of the population in their jurisdictions.
[*]36% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population
[*]In Minnesota, Black Americans are nearly four times as likely to be killed by law enforcement, with Black victims comprising 20 percent of those killed, despite comprising only 5 percent of the overall population.
Not sure why you are being so dismissive about the blatant disproportionate rate Black Americans are being killed by Law Enforce Officers.

I never said that black were not being over represented in police victim, what I said is that they are not 100%, I said sightly less than 50% despite being only 14% of the population.
On a positive side, many cops and at least 1 sherrif protested along with the protester because at one point, enough is enough
