Shooting, murder trends mixed in NYC, Chicago and other major US cities as summer comes to end

Police brass plead for peace amid bloodshed in parts of US.

On the heels of a summer of fearing that shootings and violence in major cities nationwide would continue their upward trends from earlier in the year, crime statistics in some places remained largely the same, if not decreased, while police officials in others – such as Chicago – continued their pleas for peace amid increasing bloodshed, statistics show.

Experts previously told Fox News that they feared recent shooting and murder upticks would lead to more violent summer months, especially considering the numbers were higher than the previous year even before Memorial Day. An analysis of the crime statistics for some of the major U.S. cities shows the crime statistics were varied – but the overall numbers did not stop police officials from begging the public to stop the bloodshed linked to illegal firearms and gun violence. 

CHICAGO 

In announcing crime statistics in Chicago for the month of August, police officials described “a challenging time across the city,” with 78 murders, or 22% more, for the month compared to August 2020. The city saw a 3% uptick in murders year-to-date compared to the past year. 

And while shootings had decreased from 380 in August 2020 to 372 in August 2021, the number of shooting victims was up by three last month compared to the same month last year. 

For July, Chicago Police Department saw two fewer murders year over year, but shootings were up. CPD reported 461 shootings with 614 victims in July 2021, compared to the 402 shootings with 561 victims in July 2020.  read more

  1. THIS REMINDS ME:

    A DECADE FROM NOW, IF WE STILL EXIST, DO YOU THINK HUNTER BIDEN WILL WAKE FROM HIS COMA AND ASK:

    “I DID WHAT?? WITH WHO?? DAD WAS THE PRESIDENT?? I ACTUALLY SOLD ART?? DO I HAVE KIDS?? I WORKED FOR BURISMA?? YOU WANT ME TO RUN FOR WHAT??”

  2. It’s really simple, when your boss(es) do not value your work and look to fire or jail you for every wrong move you make, you tend not to move at all.

    The system is rotten all the way down the line; mayors take their marching orders from the civil rights activists, police chiefs don’t stick up for their officers only valuing their own careers, D.A.s will not file on legitimate felonies because they owe their souls to the Soros agenda, and the average cop will not pro-actively police or show a police presence in the community but instead will hide and do nothing because it is safer that way.

    Good people are hurt because the judicial system is broken.

  3. It all does seem strange, doesn’t it. The good people are suffering and the bad are winning???? Why is crime out of control? They want to win but GOD will not let that happen.

    SAY YOUR PRAYERS EVERYDAY!!!

    God Bless us all!

  4. He always does win no matter how bad it looks. Our God rules and reigns over everything, the good, the bad and everything in between. May the grace and peace of God be upon all of us to get us safely thru all this mess going on in the world right now. God knows that I need it each and every day. God give us the faith to believe that all will be well daily.
