????NYC Murder Rate Higher than Baghdad????
>""If these numbers are accurate, they show that the systems we put in place four months ago to develop a police force based on the principles of a free and democratic society are starting to work," said former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who traveled to Iraq to oversee the rebuilding of the police force."<
>"According to the Army, there were 92 murders in Baghdad, a city of 5 million people, in July. The number dropped to 75 in August, 54 in September and 24 in October.
In New York, a city of 8 million people, there were 52 murders in July, 51 in August, 52 in September and 45 in October."<
The only month with a lesser # is Oct.
No, some killings are not murders.
