This is such a propaganda piece. NYC has a per capita murder rate of 5.5 according to its latest report. There were 40 states with a lower murder rate [1]. The highest murder rates are all in blue cities [2]

Except we're not talking about overall murder rate, but rather about violence (both individual and systemic) specifically targeted at gender, sexual, and racial minorities.

your comment keeps confusing, or switching back and forth between, states and cities, which one is your point based on?

states were the original topic, and it looks like New York is actually the 2nd lowest by 2019 numbers
