I guess then we can also say: "Oakland, its almost as safe as Sacramento"; 2:40 PM

Could somebody suggest to Mayor Fargo that besides looking at the usual suspects, try looking at the increasing role that crystal meth has played in the region's economy? That's got to be as much of a factor as gangs or more people coming into the area.; 3:20 PM

Number of cops per 1000 people:

NYC: 5
Baltimore: 5
DC: 7.4
Cleveland: 3.5
Miami: 3.1
Sacramento: 1.6

Yet, the Police Chief claims that "hiring more cops won't help".

Seriously, WTF?; 4:00 PM
