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.
