Chicago Homicides, 2016

After seeing a Bill O'Reilly segment fearmongering about Chicago's "huge surge in homicides" in 2016, Trump threatened in a tweet to send in the feds. In fact, on a per capita basis, it's not even in the top five in the U.S. But as Frances Langum "Blue Gal" writes at Crooks & Liars:
What Chicago is, though, is Barack Obama's home turf, the home of the Obama Library and Foundation headquarters, and a concentrated punching bag for Fox News, who uses the term "Chicago" as a synonym for "black thugs," and therefore so does Trump.
