It blows my mind how US americans just accept that they are having such a high murder rate at all. The murder rate in San Francisco is still too high, if you compare it with other nations and their cities. Considering how much surveillance and how much money their government pumps in the police system… you would think they finally would wake up and find out that all those measures are only in place to protect the capital of the ruling class and not the citizens…
Yeah, the 32 of 827k population SF is pretty damn awful when compared to the 54 of 6m population Denmark or the 13 of 1.4m population Copenhagen..
One of a million pieces of data pointing at the fact that surveillance and law enforcement is NOT how you bring down crime.
I'm going to make an educated guess at two big reasons as to why the US has a much higher murder rate compared to other wealthy nations: guns and income inequality.
