Please remove the democrat-controlled cities; our USA drops close to the bottom of the list.
Democrats are at the helm of 11 of the 15 deadliest cities in the U.S.
The cities primarily run by Democrats are St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Newark, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh.
All but three cities on the list have Democratic mayors. Democratic district attorneys are also in charge of prosecution in 12 of the 15 cities.
https://katv.com/news/nation-world/analysis-democrats-at-the-helm-of-11-of-the-15-deadliest-cities-in-usThe top four deadliest cities -- St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Detroit -- have Democratic mayors, sheriffs, prosecutors, and city council leaders. The fifth, Cleveland, has Democrats across the board, except for an unaffiliated sheriff appointed to his position.
Those on the Left know that their soft-on-crime policies have wreaked havoc in the cities where they have implemented them. It is not hard to understand why “reforms” such as ending cash bail, defunding the police, refusing to prosecute entire categories of crimes, letting thousands of convicted felons out of prison early, significantly cutting the prison population, and other “progressive” ideas have led to massive spikes in crime—particularly violent crime, including murder—in the communities where those on the Left have implemented them.
Left-wing politicians and their backers recognize that rising crime rates and the lack of a general sense of safety that follows are a problem for them and their chances for ree******n. Recent polls show that v**ers care a lot about rising crime—an issue that is second only to rising, rampant inflation and the lackluster economy. So the Left is engaging in political traditions as old as time: obfuscation, finger-pointing, and blame-shifting.
One liberal organization—The Third Way—even went so far as to publish a “study” arguing that Republicans are actually to blame for the spike in murders across the country. The study's not-so-subtle suggestion is that those on the Left are not responsible for rising crime rates because crime is increasing everywhere—especially in Republican-led states. Fighting for their political survival, Left-wing politicians such as Gavin Newsom and Larry Krasner have recently started to parrot the “results” of this study.1

But crime tends to be a hyper-localized phenomenon. State-level data are generally meaningless—except as a tool to score political points. More to the end, when the crime statistics from the deep-blue big cities within these otherwise deep-red states are removed, what happens? The state-level crime rates fall—in some cases, dramatically.
When you remove the crime-infested, homicide-riddled cities from the state murder rate featured in the Third Way study, you dramatically lower the murder rate for that state, upending their conclusions and exposing the piece for what it is: a straightforward attempt at political projection dressed up as a “study.”
Not surprisingly, of those 30 cities, 27 have Democratic mayors, the exceptions being Lexington and Jacksonville, which have Republican mayors, and Las Vegas, whose mayor is an Independent. And within those 30 cities, there are at least 14 Soros-backed or Soros-inspired rogue prosecutors. Those Soros bought-and-paid-for or inspired rogue prosecutors include:
Jason Williams, New Orleans Parish District Attorney;
Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore City State’s Attorney;22
On July 22, 2022, Marilyn Mosby was defeated in the primary for the office of State’s Attorney for the City of Baltimore. She lost to former Assistant State’s Attorney Ivan Bates but remained in office until the general e******n's outcome was known and her successor was sworn into office.
Kim Gardner, St. Louis Circuit Attorney;
John T. Chisholm, Milwaukee County District Attorney;
Larry Krasner, Philadelphia District Attorney;
Kim Foxx, Cook County (Chicago) State’s Attorney;
Raul Torrez, Bernalillo County (Albuquerque) District Attorney;
Mike Freeman, Hennepin County (Minneapolis) Attorney;
John Creuzot, Dallas County District Attorney;
Glenn R. Funk, Nashville District Attorney General;
Santana Deberry, Durham District Attorney;
George Gascon, Los Angeles County District Attorney;
Chesa Boudin, San Francisco District Attorney;23
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was recalled in a special e******n on June 8, 2022. San Francisco Mayor London Breed appointed Assistant District Attorney Brooke Jenkins to serve as District Attorney for the remainder of Boudin’s term.
Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney.
There were 2,554 homicides in those 30 cities through June 2022. In the 14 cities with Soros-backed rogue prosecutors, there were 1,752 homicides, representing 68 percent of homicides in the 30 top homicide cities in the United States.
Every Soros rogue prosecutor listed above is a Democrat.
