Interestingly, the pandemic years seem to have caused a sharp rise. I would have expected a fall in they number of cases.

My neighbor was a bee keeper. Once in a while the bees would become rowdy and fly off into a tree down the road. I would see him chasing the rambunctious swarm with some sort sedative smoke machine. He would sedate and collect the bees. And since there was no electricity, he would place the bees down a well until they cooled off and became civilized.

If New York was 100% white it would have the lowest per-capita violent crime rate of any major city. Same goes for any other city actually.

It's sad to see how being born 1km southeast of a certain place makes you so much more likely to be killed (not even mentioning assaulted, robbed, etc).

I think the black and Hispanic communities have a problem that needs to be address from within, not by ineffective (mostly white) politicians. Unfortunately every black and Hispanic politician is a grifter and takes advantage of the communities they’re supposed to represent to make themselves rich

Obviously it's cherry picking but if you remove the 5 cities with the largest number of murders the US as a whole (with a much larger population) looks more like Scandinavian countries. Those are Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington DC.

When you include them our stats more like the third world and Central/South American countries for murder rate.

Its definitely a problem but it's more of an isolated issue than a national one.

White, Asian, and Indian communities are in the outer borough centers. The center of Manhattan is midtown where the richest millionaires and billionaires live, they don’t kill people, just commit corporate crimes.

Your absolutely right. If you took all of the non-white people out of New York City and replaced them with white people that committed the same rates of crime that the current white people in New York City commit, you would have to lay off 85 to 90% of the Police Officers in New York City because there wouldn’t be enough crime to justify that many police officers.

Anyone who knows how to use google can go to the New York City Police Department website and download the statistics and see for themselves. A couple years back when I looked at the New York City Police Department statistics, Blacks and Hispanics accounted for around 95% of all shootings in New York City. Whites 1.86% and Asians committed less than 1% of all shootings in NYC.

One correction:

I am assuming the red dot to reference “Indian” aligns with the graph’s term “American Indian” as there were certainly more East Indians murdered in the city than that one red dot indicates.

The red dot is therefore referencing an American Indian, and not an East Indian victims.

It’s Brooklyn and some of the worst neighborhoods in the whole city. East NY and Brownsville to name 2 really bad areas

EDIT: on the right, mostly due to Jamaica, very bottom right is Far Rockaway, on the left in Manhattan is Harlem and Washington Heights. NE of Manhattan is the Bronx. Basically all low/very low income areas

This isn't entirely true - they kill people too, they usually just do it from a policy perspective and the occasional drunk driving incident.

Why? It drives me nuts when people go out of their way to mix up the colors. Everyone knows what they should be. Everyone knows why you didn’t make them that. It’s unnecessarily confusing. So why not just do it? If the color of a dot on a map offends you, you need to grow a fucking backbone.

Bud this is America lol... People get shot in the subway. People get shot at the corner store. Kids get shot in their classrooms. Eminem once said “you can get capped after just havin’ a cavity filled” lol

Just feel like there’s an abundance of evidence out there that contradicts the idea that “people get killed where they live”.

Replying to TheBravadoBoy (#162,903)

Are you trolling? A map where white=brown, black=red, asian=white, Native American=yellow, and Indian=blue is objectively more difficult to read. You have to either study and memorize the whole key, which is completely random, or continuously refer back and forth to the map and key every time you want to know what something is. There is no other way. And then you want to mix up the colors every time?

In comparison, if you use white=white, black=black, Asian=yellow, Native American=red, and Indian=brown, everyone instantly knows what everything is. You don’t even need a key. It’s a universal language that’s immediately understood by everyone and it’s a standard used across every visual representation of race.

While the graph makes no implications one way or the other, the subject matter, and the nature of America, makes people likely to forget that per capita, NYC is one of the safer big cities in the world, at 5.7 murders per 100k.

Rural areas have the most poor whites. Crime is more spread out and less population density correlates to lower crime. When you live in a town of 600 everyone is gonna know if you robbed someone

Crime and the psychology of crime are heavily dependent on environmental factors. In a city crime is more common because you can blend in more easy and get away with petty crimes.

However more people outside walking also acts as a crime detterent. Hence why Manhattan and Brooklyn rates are lower because of high pedestrian numbers.

Nationally, the statistics are pretty similar.

Density is irrelevant when there are way more poor whites yet we don't see anywhere near the same number of murders per capita or in absolute numbers.
