What is going on everyone? Good news, last month the FBI released the complete 2018
murder rate list yes it takes them almost a year to gather all the
information even with computers to be fair there are seventeen thousand nine
hundred and eighty five police agencies in the United States which includes
county sheriff's state police and federal law enforcement and everything
else and I'm sure not all them are handing over the data in a timely manner
they got other things to worry about like why so many people are getting
killed in their neighborhoods seeing that the FBI is and should be the final
word on crime stats maybe it's a good idea they do take their time just to get
it right we'll be looking at cities with a population of over a hundred thousand
on per capita this is how they rank locations on just about everything
per capita that way you get a better idea of the real state of any stat why
over a hundred thousand well you need a decent sized pool to measure if you have
less than let's say a thousand residents or something a single murder can just
warp that stat as an example if you live in goober town Arkansas which yes it is
a real place they've got a population of 17 and you have a murder which they did
in 2007 your murder rate will shoot through the roof making it look like a
frickin warzone when that may have been the first and only murder they've had in
decades basically a single homicide in a small town makes it look 10 times worse
than any other place on this list now this is about homicide when they keep
those stats they don't count things like drunk driving deaths negligent homicides
things like assaults or fights that ended in someone dying they actually
murder totally different anyway it's not but it is get it got it good here we go
number ten Washington DC DC had 159 murders in 2018 with a population of
about seven hundred and two thousand residents now the metro area has a
little over six million residents but we're focusing on the cities themselves
this time and they have seven hundred two thousand murders in DC jumped forty
percent in 2018 as of December of 28 159 people had been put on ice in the
nation's capital along with being more corrupt than any other city or state in
the US Washington DC offers the best chances to visit II afterlife like I
said there was a 40 percent increase it from 2017 when they had 114 homicides in
total in the city and that's according to date on the Metropolitan Police
Department and the FBI as if there's not enough things you have to avoid in
Washington DC protestors tourists politicians and investigative reporters
are around every corner now you got to worry about murderers too it's the
nation's capital it should be our safest cleanest friendliest city we have it's
almost the exact opposite the per capita is twenty two point eight murders per
every hundred thousand residents
number nine West Palm Beach Florida 26 homicides in 2018 with a population of
about 110,000 West Palm Beach had 26 homicides to less than the city's total
for 2017 so improvement way to go West Palm Beach this one sort of caught me by
surprise I've been here and it really doesn't seem like the place where people
are involuntarily kicking the oxygen habit on a regular basis I always felt
like this was more of the place where a lawyer takes a client to lunch but when
you have 26 homicides with that small population you suck is a city because
that's too many ex citizens 26 isn't a lot compared to others on this video but
for that few residents it is they had a wide array of things going on here that
contributed to this in 2018 including a serial killer that had just been
arrested he was working the area West Palm Beach's murder per capita is twenty
four point two
number eight Shreveport Louisiana 59 homicides in 2018 in 188 thousand
residents the only reason to go to Shreveport is for were court date see a
bail bondsman or your car breaks down while moving from Jackson Mississippi to
Dallas and you have no other choice the overall crime rate in Shreveport is 138
percent higher than the national average and it's only safer than two percent of
the cities in the United States two percent great jobs report there were 59
homicides in Shreveport in 2018 like I said that's 9 more homicides than 2017
that's basically an increase of 18 percent the city of Shreveport has a new
mayor at the helm and he's planning to crack down on crime but we'll see how
that all pan out I mean there's probably been 10 other mayors before that have
given the same frickin speech and nothing changes it just gets worse their
murder rate is 25 point 7
number seven Dayton Ohio 37 murders and a hundred and forty thousand residents
Dayton Ohio is a medium-sized city that was thrust into the national spotlight
in May of 2019 with some serious tornadoes Dayton Ohio is a city in
western Ohio it's home to the National Museum of the US Air Force they have a
historical park that contains the Wright brothers plane and some antique trains I
tell you this because most people not from the Midwest have no idea where
Dayton is you might know if you ever had to do a paper on the Wright brothers in
school Dayton had 37 murders in 2018 which is for more than 2017 but to less
than 2060 so they're on a bit of a roller coaster here in Dayton you have a
1 in 20 chance to become the victim of a crime the murder rate is 26.4 in Dayton
Ohio
number six Memphis Tennessee 186 homicides with a population of 650,000
that's a lot of homicides if you had no idea Memphis was going to be on this
list I'd like to welcome you to the channel I
talked about this city all the time whenever crime is a factor so if you're
here a lot you probably already had an idea it was gonna be here if you read
just the statistics on Memphis and knew nothing else about the city even that
existed you'd think you're reading the screenplay for a disaster movie the new
FBI statistics show the overall crime rate fell across the country last year
and including in Memphis however some violent crimes like homicides and
aggravated assault increased in this little jewel on the Mississippi River
the FBI data shows that Memphis reported a hundred and eighty-six homicides in
2018 compared to 181 in 2017 their murder rate is twenty-eight point five
number five Baton Rouge Louisiana 87 homicides with a population of two
hundred twenty-nine thousand that sucks that Rouge was incorporated in 1817 and
it's been nothing but problems since in 1822 the Pentagon barracks complex was
completed the site had been used by the Spanish the French the British the
Confederate States Army the United States Army and was part of the
short-lived Republic of West Florida and I'm sure parts Louisiana would like to
give this city back to Florida almost like giving up on a dog you've tried to
train for years and years but it won't stop biting your hand and humping your
leg you called the old owner and a man I know we've had the dog for some time but
this thing won't stop on my leg no matter what I do I have ACL surgery next
week and I'm already missing a finger I need you to take the dog back that's
kind of how Louisiana thinks about Baton Rouge the overall crime rate in Baton
Rouge is a hundred and forty-one percent higher than the national average
way to go the murder rate in Baton Rouge is thirty five point one that means
thirty five point one people will be murdered out of every 100 thousand great
stats
number four New Orleans 146 murders with a population of three hundred and ninety
thousand in 2018 New Orleans had 146 murders the lowest annual murder rate
since 1971 other violent crimes in 2018 also experienced a drop from the
previous year but honestly how bad does that suck you drop to the lowest number
of murders in almost 50 years and your murder rates still land you at the 5th
spot of the FBI's list congratulations Louisiana you have a hat
trick three of your cities are in the top ten most dangerous cities in the
United States what are they doing in this state or what aren't they do in
this state you know it's bad when people move to war as Mexico before your state
because of safety concerns the murder rate in New Orleans is thirty seven
point one
number three Detroit Michigan 261 murders and a population of 673 thousand
the amount of murders in Michigan's largest city is dropped for the second
consecutive year with 261 homicides in 2018 it's according to the FBI that
numbers the lowest on record for more than 50 years in 1966 there were 214
homicides back then Detroit's population was closer to 1.5 million people their
rate back then was 14 homicides for every 100,000 residents 216 homicides in
2018 compared to Detroit's most recent estimate of the population like I said
six hundred and seventy-three thousand that rate brings them up to 39 per every
hundred thousand residents so you almost got you know forty people getting killed
out of every hundred thousand now to be fair Detroit isn't completely bad like
it used to be they're kind of turning things around their downtown part is
that's what's turning around it's nice now it's relatively safe it's decent
hopefully they can turn the rest of it around the overall crime rate in Detroit
is something they have to get a hold of because it's a hundred and forty percent
higher than the national average that might help things considerably
and now we have Baltimore or beam or as some people call it and before you do
stop typing you might not call it be more about a lot of people do I had one
guy telling me once that nobody calls Dallas Big D I asked him have you ever
left the house he didn't talk to me after that anyway in 2018 Baltimore
recorded 309 homicides 13 victims had been wounded in the previous year but
we're added to the homicide count because they died in 2018 in 2017
Baltimore recorded 342 homicides so they got better the only good thing about
those numbers is it lowers the home values so your mortgage should be pretty
low ask a mortgage broker he'll tell you if you can get the mortgage home loans
sometimes aren't that easy in really really bad neighborhoods anyway you
might not want to live there but at least it's inexpensive just don't park
your car in the street you'll be filling out an auto insurance claim every single
week Baltimore is a very dangerous city the murder rate is 51 it's 51 people get
killed out of every hundred thousand people that's a lot
and number one st. Louis Missouri 186 murders in a population of three hundred
two thousand people I just did a list on st. Louis and I got to tell you the
locals weren't too happy it's a dangerous place there's a lot of bad
neighborhoods they seem to get mad at me because I'm talking about the obvious
that the city kind of sucks I even had a few emails including one
that started off by calling me a racist because I only talked about minority
neighborhoods first of all he was wrong one of the neighborhoods near downtown
has been revitalized and the only reason it was on the list because they got a
whole bunch of bars and there was a whole bunch of assaults all year long
anyway raised the crime rate but I was just going over stats my stats don't
know race I mean come on anyway I explained that and told him to
grow the F up and he went full Downton Abbey on me he said sir you will not
address me in that manner I am a retired naval officer I'm sure if I was in front
of him he would have slapped me across the face with a writing glove or
something like that challenged me to a duel I told him I was in the army and he
still needed to grow the F up he replied that I was a very dangerous man I agreed
but told him only if I was drinking and I had one of those bedazzled tools
that's the only time I'm dangerous anyway st. Louis's dangerous place and
it should be avoided the murder rate in st. Louis is 60.9 that's 60.9 per
100,000 that's a lot though the city still has the highest murder rate in the
country 2018 marked the second consecutive year that it was on the
decline in total murders so that's good but there's still number one according
to the FBI not me
no all right so that is my video I want to thank you guys for watching without
you guys I'm just a traveling guy with a bedazzled kit and I guess I'm very
dangerous anyway I now have the join button if you'd like to join and support
