At current pace, Philly will end up with +/- 325 Homicides this year compared to 410 in 2023 and 514 in 2022 and 562 in 2021.

I can understand jitters about the upcoming draft though I would like numbers. Still with a large drop during the period last year that saw the only spike in a year (centered around rowdy crowds downtown) in a year that saw an 18% drop after new tactics and higher pay for more overtime were introduced I’m optimistic.

It's all fakenews. Cities have never been more dangerous.

Look at Boston. 2 murders so far. Mad Max on the Charles.
