Murders are way up in a handful of cities.

The FBI collects national data on murders2 and other major crimes, but it releases them after a significant lag. The most recent full year for which official data is available is 2015, when murders rose at their fastest pace in a quarter century. Official 2016 data won’t be available until the fall, but murder almost certainly rose last year too; in January, I found that big cities experienced a roughly 11 percent increase in murders in 2016, which past patterns suggest is consistent with about an 8 percent rise in murder overall.3
In order to gauge changes in the prevalence of murder in big cities in 2017, I collected year-to-date murder counts for 2017 and 2016 in 68 of the country’s big cities, using a mixture of data from the cities themselves and from media reports.4 Data from 63 of the cities included murders committed through at least the end of May, and 50 cities provided data covering the month of June. These big cities have had roughly 4 percent more murders so far in 2017 than they did at the same point in 2016.5
Only a handful of cities are seeing large increases or decreases in murder this year, which is what we would expect to see given a small overall rise in the sample.6

We're at 4, yes, four, for the year from what the Statesman says.
This groups them as homicides and two were by police. So two murders. I'm going to have to double check that because the yearly total is usually 30 something.
APD puts the number at 13. Ya I think I'm safe.

Furthermore, those increases were in spite of improving outcomes for victims of shootings. I can't find the numbers, but the survivabity rate of gunshot victims has been rising.

Yeah but Kasim Reed will use this as an excuse for not hiring more police officers despite a pretty massive summer property crime spree

There was a thread in the OT a few days ago which said weed legalization is the reason for increase in violent crimes in Denver. The post went on to say that crime has decreased in major cities. Ergo, these two things are related
