Twelve major cities across the nation broke annual homicide records this year, following 2020’s already historically bloody year.

"The community has to get fed up," Rochester Police Department Capt. Frank said at a news conference in November. "We're extremely frustrated. It has to stop. I mean, it's worse than a war zone around here lately."

Rochester broke its 30-year-old homicide record on Nov. 11 with 71 homicides. The city’s previous record sat at 69 in 1991.AMERICA'S MURDER RATE INCREASE IN 2020 HAS 'NO MODERN PRECEDENT,' CRIME ANALYST GROUP FINDS

Rochester is joined by 11 other cities that broke homicide records this year, according to ABC News, including: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Toledo, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Austin, Texas; Louisville, Kentucky; St. Paul, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico.

All 12 cities are led by Democratic mayors.

Philadelphia has recorded more homicides this year than the nation’s two largest cities - New York City and Los Angeles - with 521 homicides as of Dec. 6, ABC News reported. New York City has recorded 443 as of Dec. 5 and Los Angeles 352 as of Nov. 27.

"It's terrible to every morning get up and have to go look at the numbers and then look at the news and see the stories. It's just crazy. It's just crazy and this needs to stop," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said after his city surpassed 500 homicides in November. The City of Brotherly Love previously had a homicide record of 500, which was set in 1990.

Some have blamed the crime spikes on bail reform, lack of arrests, fall out from police retirements and resignations following 2020’s nationwide calls to defund the police.

AS DEFUND THE POLICE MOVEMENT TRICKLES DOWN FROM BIG CITIES, SMALL-TOWN AMERICA PAYS THE PRICE

"Nobody’s getting arrested anymore," retired chief of detectives for the New York Police Department, Robert Boyce, told ABC News. "People are getting picked up for gun possession and they're just let out over and over again."

"America’s most beautiful cities are indeed being ruined by liberal policies," Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw said on "Fox & Friends" last week of cities experiencing crime surges. "There’s a direct line between death and decay and liberal policies."

"The criminals laugh in the back of a police car because they know that they are going to be out the next day back to committing crimes This is a problem for people who actually pay taxes who live there. And they are absolutely ruining America’s greatest cities, and we should be outraged about it."

The spikes come after there was a 45% increase in the police retirement rate and a nearly 20% increase in resignations from officers in 2020-2021 compared to the previous year, according to a June survey from the Police Executive Research Forum.

Two other cities are also close to breaking homicide records this year. Milwaukee is 12 homicides short of breaking its 2020 record of 190, and Minneapolis is six homicides short of breaking its 1995 record of 97, ABC News reported.

2020 was already a bloody year in cities across the nation, FBI data shows. Murders spiked nearly 30% nationally last year compared to 2019 data, notching the largest single-year jump in the bureau’s 60 years of recording such figures.

"Homicide rates were higher during every month of 2020 relative to rates from the previous year," a report from the National Commission of COVID-19 and Criminal Justice this year states, calling the 30% surge "a large and troubling increase that has no modern precedent."

Meanwhile, families of crime victims are pleading for help to combat the violence.

"If you say that this is not a warzone, If you say this is not a crisis, either your inhumane or your humanity has left for you," Stanley Crawford of Philadelphia told Fox News last week. "We need help in the city of Philadelphia. And again, I don't care where it comes from. it can come from the National Guard. It can come from any source."

Yet that's it. When you only point to the cities you only come up with the answers you're wanting to find. Let's look at the actual murder rates per capita in this country to see the big picture. It's often times higher in rural areas then it is in the cities.

10 U.S. counties with the highest murder rate

Looking at the per capita data, these counties have the highest homicide rates in the country.

2. Coahoma County, Mississippi

Homicide rate: 37 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household income: $28,851
Clarksdale crime index: 2 out of 100

Cahoma County is one of two counties from Mississippi to make the top 10. Even as a small county with just over 25,000 residents, Cahoma County is no stranger to violent crime. The county seat of Clarksdale had over 150 violent crimes in 2015, and with a population of about 16,000; that means almost 1 violent crime for every 100 residents. 35 percent of residents of Clarksdale live below the poverty line, and 1 in 5 residents are not high school graduates.

3. Phillips County, Arkansas

Homicide rate: 34 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household income: $26,844
Helena-West Helena crime index: 2 out of 100

Phillips County is another rural county to make this list, with a population of just under 22,000. The county seat is Helena-West Helena. Neighborhood Scout gives Helena-West Helena a crime index of just 2 out of 100, thanks in large part to 166 violent crimes in a population of just over 11,000. In addition to having the lowest median household income on this list, just 77.1 percent Helena-West Helena have a high school diploma, also lowest among these cities.

6. Petersburg City, Virginia

Homicide rate: 32 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household income: $31,798
Petersburg crime index: 10 out of 100

Petersburg is an independent town with a population just over 30,000, making it the smallest independent city on the list. Just 77.9 percent of residents have a high school diploma in Petersburg, and 28 percent of residents live in poverty. Petersburg also has a high rate of property crime, and their unemployment rate has stayed above the national average since 2001.

7. Macon County, Alabama (tie)

Homicide rate: 27 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household income of county seat: $30,738
Tuskegee crime index: 3 out of 100

Macon County is another rural area to make this list with a population just over 21,00 and the first of two Alabama counties in the top 10. In recent years, the unemployment rate has been well above the national average, including a high mark of 18.9 percent unemployment in January of 2010, when the national rate was 10.6. While the county has an 89 percent high school graduation rate, the median household income is just $30,738 in the county - which puts 25.9 percent of residents below the poverty line. In the county seat of Tuskegee, the odds of being a victim of all violent crime are 1 in 97.

The rural country of Macon is tied with DC as it pertains to murder rates.

9. Washington County, Mississippi (tie)

Homicide rate: 25 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household income of county seat: $29,144
Greenville crime index: 2 out of 100

Washington County is home to over 50,000 people. Washington County suffers from consistently high unemployment rates, hovering between 8 and 18 percent since 2008. Over one-third of residents live in poverty in the county seat of Greenville and just 78.7 residents have a high school diploma. Greenville in recent decades has seen a rise in gang activity, much of it coming by way of Chicago.

9. Dallas County, Alabama (tie)

Homicide rate: 25 homicides per 100,000 people
Median household iIncome: $27,306
Selma crime index: 0 out of 100

Dallas County has a long history of violence, and in recent years, the area has encountered a spike in gang-related violence in some of the county’s poorest communities. The median income of Dallas County is the second lowest on this list. The unemployment rate of Dallas County is among the worst on this list, reaching over 22 percent just after the start of the great recession and rarely falling below 9 percent since. The crime index of zero makes the county seat of Selma the most dangerous city for overall crime on this list.

These rankings show that homicide can affect areas both rural and urban, and LEOs, as well as other first responders around the country, have to face these situations on a daily basis.

When you only focus on the carrot dangled in front of your nose, that's all you can see.

Hmmmmm.

I notice you can't seem to connect the dots between poverty and crime. Or maybe you really can? Because you certainly decided to exclude the average income and poverty rates in all three of those examples. Once again, they are not "the big cities" as was indicated.

Are you sure you can't find racist innuendo to make about the other locations I listed? Or are they mostly white people?

SO WHAT? Dem Cities might have higher murder rates, BIG DEAL! The Republican Party is full of Nazis, White Supremacists, and traitors. Maybe you and 40 should put your own GOPer house in order before you pick at ours. AND more often than not, mass shootings, hate crimes, and domestic terrorism stems from the right, the far right… You know, where you and 40 are on the political spectrum.

Murder rates do not tell the real story. The number of people keep the rate lower in big cities. But where is there more Crime? Big cities!!!! Where are you safer walking down the street? Smaller cities!!!! The number of people living in an area clouds the stats.

As I have said before. Take the number of people out of an area on the map and tell me where the most crime exists period. It will exclusively be in big cities. Stats are for losers they can be manipulated however you want to look at them. Take and area of land and count the crimes, count the murders. It will not be close.

The murder rate per 100,000 people is flawed significantly. That is like saying a football team commits more penalties in the red zone than they do anywhere else. Why, because in every 100 snaps they average 80 snaps between the 30's and commit 8 penalties or penalties on 10% of those snaps. 20 snaps are in the red zone and the team commits 3 penalties which is 15%. So the % of penalties are higher in the red zone but they actually commit more penalties between the 30's. That is the same logic as the murder rates per 100,000 persons.

How many murders committed has nothing to do with how many people that live there? You can't be serious. So if 100k thousand people commit more murders than 30k people you think that means something?

Let me explain this to you as simply as I can. Per capita explains exactly what the odds of you getting murdered where you live is despite the population of where you live.

No, where I stand and how many murders are committed in that space determines how safe I am in that space I am occupying.

You do understand that when you spread fewer people out over a wider area, there is only one way to measure crime in that area, right?

Here is a stat for you. Murders in the Large Cities in the US are up over 30% in the last two years. 29% in 2020 and 9.9% this year. Why, Democratic policies, District Attorneys, etc... De fund the police does not work. What is happening in these big cities are progressive policies on display for all to see.

How does that change the fact that there are suburban areas that rate just as high and in many cases even higher than those cities?

What I am saying is take the space of one mile on a map anywhere in the US and count the murders in that space. Total. Not broken up by the number of people living in that area just the number of crimes, number of murders.

Once again you are refusing to recognize that the number of people in any given area that commit murders are the actual factor that matters on your odds of being murdered. If you take one square mile of New York City, there could be more than a million people there. To you that makes no difference. Of course if you're trying to ignore actual murder rates per capita it helps achieve your goal.

You are talking rates and the original poster was talking overall murders are skyrocketing in large cities. Again, in the last two years murder is up well over 30% in large cities vs 2019. That is a fact. Now murder rates might make you feel better to say per person I have more of a chance to be murdered in a smaller city. But, where you are means quite a bit. 1 in billion people run the risk of a shark attack. But, when you are actually, in the water your chance is higher than when your on the beach. Where you are means something whether or not the rate says so.

Some 319,020 residents fled New York state between July 2020 and July 2021, according to US Census Bureau data released last week — a 1.6% year-over-year loss that made New York the nation’s leading state for population decline. Texas, which grew by 310,288 people and doesn’t charge its residents any income tax, notched the country’s largest gain.

I think that you and your kind should get your house in order.

I agree '40. Libtards are ruining this country. They like to talk around the problem, make excuses for the problem, but don't acknowledge or try and fix the problem. - This would be totally cool with me if these liberal politicians didn't flee to the suburbs following a days work. - They defend criminals, they make excuses for criminals, but they don't live around criminals and certainly don't send their kids to school around criminals. Liberal hypocrisy is ruining the country but, thanks to Trump, at least it's been called out and is being dealt with.

Great original thinking. Did anyone else hear that echo?

Trumpians are killing our democracy. Trumpians are the dumbest animals on earth. Amoebas are smarter. And you only call us “libtards” because you know you are intellectually inferior. Simply more projection from yet another wing-nut on the right. You might as well wear a padded helmet with a big ass red T in the middle of your forehead all day, every day.

I think Obamian snowflakes are killing our democracy, after all look at what is happening in places like Philadelphia and Chicago. - Formerly first world, well run cities.


I think Obamians are the dumbest animals on Earth, amoebas are smarter as they don't drain resources in the form of taxes and public safety in the way Obamians do.


Well, I think you're intellectually inferior.


As opposed to the lackluster projection from another wing-nut on the left.


I think you should wear a padded helmet with a big ass red L in the middle of your forehead all day.[/quote]

A classic ‘I know you are but what am I’ response. Next will be a ‘ I’m rubber. You’re glue’ retort from the paste eater.

Thank God for President Trump's Operation Warp Speed on the vaccines, otherwise none of us may be around to have these debates.

If only he'd have taken it seriously in the beginning,, How much further along would we be and how many fewer deaths would there have been. Remember, it will just go away... It's just the flu. Trump is and always will be Public Enemy Number 1.

True, but many on your team don't see it that way.

In fairness, You can’t include 2020 in any statistic, because of the lockdown. 2019 and before would be the relevant comparison.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Snowflakes? You mean like those who threw that massive tantrum at the Capital on January 6th? Or do you mean like the Republicans in congress who mostly do nothing but scream about the Democrats because they can't keep their emotions in check out of a lack of maturity? The Gym Jordan's and MTG's of your ilk? Or like the voters who can't get attention so they elect a Trump to throw tantrums and name call for them? Those snowflakes?

When you elect the most stupid president in modern times, I wouldn't go around telling others they are dumb. I mean maybe he can nuke a hurricane, am I right? Or maybe inject disinfectant to stop Covid? Am I right? You help elect a moron and then point the finger at someone else for being stupid.

No amount of revisionist whitewashing will remove the blood from Trump's hands. TRUMP WAS THE WORST POTUS EVER.

Well didn't you know that Trump actually invented the vaccine? That without him the scientific community wouldn't have been trying to create this vaccine so fast. Science would have just sat by and did virtually nothing without the almighty Trump pushing them so hard. All hail the mighty Trump!

It looks dangerous to go to Dem cities, but really isn't unless you go out in to the hoods.

Dem cities in Republican ran states.

The further away you go from local governance, the less connected to the people it becomes.

And that's exactly right. Where you find the most poverty you will find the most crime. Cities like Chicago have fine areas. Low crime and expensive homes. Painting it all with a broad brush only works to further an agenda. As I've shown by county, even some very rural counties have some of the highest murder rates per capita. The connecting theme with all of them is poverty.

Translation: Let the good ole boys govern the good ole boys.

Dem run cities are run into the ground.

The Free States are filling up fast!

Free from intelligence?

Oh, BS! Have you seen the entire state of states in the rust belt and corn belt? Urban decay is on par with rural decay. Everything is falling apart while the right plays thumbs up their asses.

And a seditious insurrection supporting troll has nothing of value to add to the conversation, so instead we get these high quality, well-thought-out posts about your fascist idol and how you would destroy democracy AND America. The world will be a much better place when your ilk finally dies off over the next few years. But hey, you'll live on in our worst thoughts and nightmares for years to come. Every time we think of how you tried to promote and preserve Trump's rule, the stench of your existence will inevitably be recalled.
