Indianapolis is having a historically-bad year so far, with at least 69 homicides as of a couple days ago. I believe Portland is at 28 at the moment. Also quite bad by its historical standards.
All in all both shootings and deadly shootings are down by 50%. Probably due to the cracking of Encrochat by French police. Lots of people all over Europe has been arrested due to this.

Sweden (pop 10.2 mil)
Estimated total: 32 (7 deadly shootings)
Stockholm Metro (pop 2.3 mil)

Between 400 - 900 people senselessly gun downed every goddamn year for over a half century now.
And yet it's so normal and hopeless that futility eventually sets in.
"that's just the way it is... some things will never change"
In those areas where 400-900 people are gunned down every single year over the last 50 years, the city has emptied out and the neighborhoods are in shambles. Parents are asking themselves, How can I raise my family here? The residents in some of the worst neighborhoods are packing up and moving outwards to the suburbs or to a new region to get away from that level of in your face violence. The then and now pictures of parts of Chicago are eye opening.
^ yes, chicago's horrendous level of violent crime, and in particular its overwhelming concentration in predominately black neighborhoods, has been the biggest push factor driving black flight out of the city for decades now. it's not a new phenomenon.
in 1980, chicago was home to 1.2M black people.
by the end of this decade that number is estimated to fall to 650K.
a nearly 50% loss in 50 years.
it's not just a stain on the city's reputation, it's literally killing entire neighborhoods.
and the homicide train just rolls on, as it always has.

The real question I have in mind is whether the current activism and agitation is a) improving things, b) making things worse or c) not changing much at all.

Thats crazy, didnt know the loss of the black population was that high. Is there any studies as to where they are moving to?
Also, have all of the other demographics been increasing, or are other demographics leaving too?

Pittsburgh since January has seen a 90% increase in violence from this time last year — a striking surge marked by 20 homicides and nearly 50 nonfatal shootings, including many young victims, city police said.

Yet I keep seeing braindead "journalists" who run stories about "why the black population is leaving!?"
They make a choice not to see the obvious because it would imply the political situation in Chicago is shit.

Black flight, just as with all urban flight, is a multi-faceted issue with a variety of different push/pull factors.
Yes, violent crime is one of the biggest push factors (I would say it's probably the #1 push in chicago, especially for anyone with young children), but I fail to see any issue with journalists investigating and writing about perhaps the greatest demographic crisis of 21st century chicago.
I mean, isn't that kinda the exact fucking shit that journalists should be writing about?
Reducing a massive and complex demographic shift, like the one chicago is experiencing, down to an inane and overly-simplistic single-word answer like "crime", is something that I actually would file away under "braindead".

Chicago has just so much going for it. A nice lake shore location, great cultural amenities, fantastic restaurant scene, wonderful architectural heritage, a very vibrant downtown, a good transit system, and a real character.
Despite all these wonderful attributes, the city has a lousy reputation to the point of where the first thing you think of when you think Chicago is it's horrid levels of crime and murders.
