She was told to work from home tomorrow and Friday.

Fast forward to the 5 minute mark, it's not really very clear.
The cop emptied his gun and was in the process of reloading when his partner told him to stop.

I really don't know nor care.
Per capita it's less than many other municipalities in the country.

Once again don't know or care, doesn't affect me.
However, according to this site, Chicago doesn't even make the top 30 for murders per capita.

I'm in the suburbs, so nothing's happening here.
My Kid is a white cop in a black suburb but I don't think that anything will happen there.
Looks like a smallish number of protesters are downtown at the police station, but they seem to be well behaved.
We'll see if any rable rousers show up to stir the pot.

Did click on your "link", nothing there.
Obviously, you didn't check mine out.
Many areas of the country have much higher murder rates than Chicago.
Deal in facts, keeps you from looking like a fool.

Chicago is very safe as long as you keep out of certain areas.
My wife has worked downtown for 37 years and has never had a problem.
And frankly, you could come here and we could drive around in Englewood for the day and would most likely not have any problems.
Of course if you're black and wearing the wrong colors, that would change things a bit.

Per capita--- making things look not so bad 'cause hey there's a lot of people here it could be much worse.

Looks like protests are already starting hope you and your wife stay safe through all this.

I really wonder if you know what that means?
There's really no point in discussing this with you any longer.
Per capita is how everybody (other than you) compiles stats so that they can be compared to one another.
Perhaps you should enroll in a statistics class at your local JC so that you could understand this.

Per capita is the number of people that are contained within an area or group that the statistics are being gathered from.

No I didn't have to google that.

I thought you said no personal attacks yet you insult my intelligence?

If you really understand that, then tell me the murder rate in Chicago, compared to other US cities.

Per capita is used to make the numbers not sound so bad, it's on par with saying that per capita the Paris attacks should've been much worse because there are so many people living there. It takes the individual crime and effectively marginalizes it against shear numbers of the population.

I would much rather live in a city of 100,000 people where there are 10 murders per year, than a city with 2 people in it where there are 1 murders a year.

Would you really feel safer in that second city 99? Are you really convinced those evil statistics are just making the 100,000 population city sound safer than it really is?

I thought Per capita is normally used to normalize or compare apples to apples.

It's good to know it's really just to confuse things.

Although victor in your example you would be the murderer so likely safe since you killed the other person.

I'd rather live in a city of 100000 people that had 50 separate murders than a city of 1000 that had 45 separate murders.

There is also a fairly famous study out there that proved that as the number of churches in a city increase so does the crime and specifically the murder rate. That's the problem with using absolute rather than normalized numbers.
