Nationwide, nearly 6,700 homicides were reported in the 100 largest cities in 2015, about 950 more than the year before. About half of the rise — 480 of the 950 — occurred in seven cities.
Cleveland Milwaukee Baltimore Chicago Houston Nashville Washington
At least three of these cities have also been embroiled in protests after police-involved deaths of black males, like Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Laquan McDonald in Chicago and Tamir Rice in Cleveland.
In his study, Dr. Rosenfeld said that rising crime might be linked to less aggressive policing that resulted from protests of high-profile police killings of African-Americans.

Orange shaded areas > 90 percent black
Let’s hope the “Black Lives Matter” crowd be the additional victims.
They are the ones responsible.
I’d bet that there were stricter gun control laws passed recently in those areas, too.
Happened in Colorado in 2013, and crime has gone up here, too.
Well, I noticed in the article no immediate blaming of the NRA or demands for more gun control but we know that the NYT is not going to have that kind of courage concerning BLM.
Nope...the real reason is not the one stated.
The reason is to elevate the number of gun related crimes to press for further gun control leading to complete disarmament and an outright repeal of the 2nd Amendment. This is a domestic version of Operation Fast & Furious.
It is the lack of leadership.
In Milwaukee, Tom Barrett is an empty suit that only cares how much money is coming in from the state.
Tom is not willing to solve problems or accept any responsibility.
Just a typical democrat that doesn’t know what to do, but thinks he looks good, smells good and convinces the idiot liberals that he is the “leader” for them.
He doesn’t care - there are deaths from sleeping with babies along with the high murder rate,

I’d wager the trend is ultimately driven by massive real unemployment making for too many idle hands.
If we removed all black-related crime statistics, what would the crime rate be in these cities?
Because the criminal class was encouraged by de blasio and bammy, and because they both cut the balls off the cops.
Could it be... 
that the folks in charge are all DemocRATS?
At The Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner's Blog it has his English words translated into Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, Urdu (the national language and lingua franca of Pakistan) & Vietnamese--
YET nowhere does it say he is a DemocRAT.
I’m retired so I have idle hands but I haven’t killed anybody or robbed any liquor stores.
... and mayors and other elected leadership are and have for a long time ... long enough for the nature of that governing to seep into the cities’ character ... what party?
Me, neither. As we grow older, we have less energy.
I’d wager everything on feral Negroes...
