those numbers dropped a lot under the obama years; interesting
I would guess this has more to do with local gang wars which lead to a shitton of murders and skew the whole picture.
note that the entirety of 2008 was still spent under president bush, and that the entirety of 2016 was still spent under president obama.
in 2008, there were 16400 murders, in 2016, there were 17400. obama had more murders in his last year (2016) than in his first (2009 with 15400).
