Detroit police officials put the total number of homicide deaths in 2012 at 411 -- an increase of more than nine percent over 2011. Of that number police classified 386 as criminal homicides and 25 as justifiable.
Detroit recorded 377 total homicides in 2011 and 327 in 2010, according to police statistics.
A Detroit News analysis comparing statistics of U.S. cities with more than 200,000 residents -- released on Dec. 31 before the latest figures --- estimated the city's murder rate for the last year at 53 per 100,000 residents. It placed Detroit second for the city with the highest murder rates, just under New Orleans' rate of 54.2.
Through Dec. 28, New York City had only recorded 414 homicides, despite having a population more than 11 times the size of the city of Detroit's. If NYC had the same murder rate as Detroit, they would have recorded nearly 4,400 homicides this year, according to a release issued by the city.

In 2010 Westbumfu, Nebraska, a ranch town of 200 people recorded 1 murder. If NYC, a city of over 8 million had the same murder rate as Westbumfu it would've recorded over 40,000 murders


See how stupid those comparisons are:beli:

It's a completely different dynamic. You can't compare the politics of a mega city to something not even in its league.
