Murdering Memphis


Memphis’ homicide rate was the third highest among the country’s 50 largest cities last year, according to the FBI’s latest data. In 2017, there were 181 homicides in Memphis, 28 deaths per 100,000 people in the city, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting statistics released last month.
Baltimore had the highest homicide rate with 56 deaths per 100,000 people, according to the FBI report. Baltimore was followed by Detroit, which ranked No. 2 with 40 deaths per 100,000 people, and Memphis ranked third, followed by Chicago (24 deaths per 100,000) and Milwaukee (20 deaths per 100,000).
And they be rioting at this moment over a US Marshal's killing of someone.  Let us see how this turns out as history indicates folks in Memphis will increase their murder rate as cops disappear.
