Overview
In 2014, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 14,249. This was a 0.5 percent decrease from the 2013 estimate, a 3.2 percent decrease from the 2010 figure, and a 14.9 percent drop from the number in 2005.

There were 4.5 murders per 100,000 people. The murder rate fell 1.2 percent in 2014 compared with the 2013 rate. The murder rate was down from the rates in 2010 (6.1 percent) and 2005 (20.8 percent). (See Table 1/1A)

Of the estimated number of murders in the United States, 46.0 percent were reported in the South, 20.5 percent were reported in the Midwest, 20.5 percent were reported in the West, and 13.1 percent were reported in the Northeast. (See Table 3)

One problem with the table is that it doesn't account for all homicides in the US. The table accounts for about 5700 homicides but the summary page that links to this table says there were over 14,000 homicides in the US in 2014. What this means is that the FBI did not have full demographic data on victims and offenders for the remaining 8300 homicides and this is noted in the small print of the table.

Doesn't address Trump's racist lie.

Donald Trump Tweets A Wildly Inaccurate Graphic To Portray Black People As Murderers

Real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted a chart of racist and wildly inaccurate crime statistics, just a day after supporters physically assaulted a Black Lives Matter protester at one of his rallies.

The statistics, purported to be gathered by a Crime Statistics Bureau in San Francisco this year, appear to be fabricated. The Crime Statistics Bureau cited in Trump's tweet does not exist. The FBI, which does gather official crime statistics for the U.S., has not yet released them for this year.

Last year's FBI statistics show that the numbers in Trump's tweet are incorrect and appear to be aimed at perpetuating racist myths about black people and crime.

In 2014, about 82 percent of murders involving white victims were committed by other white people, while only 14 percent were committed by black people, according to the FBI.

Among murders involving black victims, just under 90 percent were committed by other black people, while 7 percent were committed by white people.

Crime experts have concluded that homicides are most likely to occur among people of the same race because people are usually murdered by someone they already know, and most people primarily know people of their own race.

Lots of interesting data collected between 1980 and 2008

something glenn beck accused him of even though van jones wasn't there. his absence was verified by his boss at the time. she wouldn't believe me. she said she knows I don't like g.b. so I told her where to read about it she called it a liberal source I told her regardless of the source v.j.'s boss is the one accounting for him and she said well he's in on it too. so don't waste your time (if that's your real reason) save your breath

lots of proof provided by you cohorts.

He's a good cousin and I love him dearly but he is sooo brainwashed by RW radio and cop culture.
