I don't think the numbers are "skewed" or "manipulated", but it's not exactly a secret that numbers and statistics can be misleading.

That's great that the murder rates this year are so low, but the fact that the 500th shooting in the city just occurred paints a much different picture than the murder rates.

Modern medicine is awesome. No one is doubting that.


Fortunately modern medicine has made leaps across America and not just Nola.

Facts are that our murder rate is dropping. Something that needs to continue.

Meanwhile, unclassified deaths have spiked.



Does this include overdoses for things like heroin?

People keep harping on "unclassified," but I don't know what they are trying to insinuate.
