FBI data shows that 3,761 additional Americans have been killed in the murder spike which emerged after the White House intervened in the 2014 riots in Ferguson, Missouri.
In 2016, 17,250 people were killed, up from 15,883 in 2015, and up from an average of 14,686 per year during the first six years of President Barack Obama’s term, according to the FBI data. If the extra dead from 2015 and 2016 are compared to the 14,164 killed in 2014, then the post-Ferguson spike adds up to 4,805 extra dead.
Even as murders jumped by 20 percent over two years, rape and robbery crimes remained flat, and property crimes, burglary, and theft dropped. Aggravated assault and auto theft did rise in 2015 and 2016, but at only roughly half the spike seen in murder.
Killings nationwide rose by almost 10.8 percent in 2015 and by another 8.6 percent in 2016. But most of the extra killing took place in poor urban areas run by the Democratic Party, such as Chicago and Baltimore, which saw 762 and 358 dead, respectively. In 2016, the killings jumped by 20 percent in cities with a population greater than 1 million. The 2016 murder rate was 16 percent higher than the murder rate in 2012. – READ MORE
