Crime in major US cities is and has always been an issue. Some cities are better than others and some cities have some major problems.  Chicago has always had a problem with gun violence and is always in the national news.  But when was the last time you heard bout Albuquerque or Kansas City in the news?  And besides the popular television show, Portlandia, when did the national news talk about a crime wave in Oregon?    I’ll give you a moment.
