Anyone else been paying attention to crime in Indianapolis - especially the murder rate?
The murder rate is sky high, but the news says crime is down.
Crime stats for Indianapolis are skewed though by Indy being considered the entire county.
Actual Indy crime stats are watered down by the low crime rates of the surrounding Marion Co. areas.
How about the Seventy-two people shot in a four-day period in Chicago?
Hardly a word spoken about it.
Can you be anything but a stupid political hack, Hank?

Largest US Cities by Population

12 Indianapolis Indiana 827,600
Chicago's population is more than 3 times - over 300% greater - than that of Indianapolis.
Not to mention, the topic IS Indianapolis NOT Chicago.
Now, it's not only the murder rate, but also home invasions!
