Homicides down in some large U.S. cities

Murder, a common topic in news stories, but this murder story has a little happier ending indeed. The murder rates are decreasing. In Milwaukee alone the murder rates have gone down by a third! Even in bigger cities like New York and Chicago slayings seem to be decreasing. And Milwaukee police president John Balcerzak, gives credit to this light of new hope to Police Chief Edward Flynn. He has been trying new tactics like ground walking police and response to lower importance phone calls.

I agree with Ashleigh brandt ( http://ashleighssii.blogspot.com/ ) on this that it is very important and a very good idea to have larger city police focus on new ways and tactics in stopping crimes of all sizes (especially murders) And even though the rates have gone down significantly, the police forces still arent satisfied because there is still murder and still crime. they will not rest until they see that all is safe and sound. its really important that they think all life matters!!
