Top Ten most dangerous cities in the country

The FBI reports that in 2010 violent crimes dropped 5.5% and property crimes went down just about 2.8% even tho the entire country suffered from the economic downfall which some compare to the great depression. That being said, in the Northeast of the country we saw an increase in murders (8.3%), forced rape (1.4%) and aggravated assault (0.7%).

The FBI doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to why the northeast had such an increase in numbers which honestly blows me away. Here's a thought coming from a guy who's straight outta Michigan....... AINT NO JOBS AROUND HERE SON!!!!! Michigan was hit first and the hardest by the economic downfall then it spread to the rest of the country. A lot of automotive jobs are based out of the northeast so when you have an event as catastrophic as the auto industry meltdown.... NATURALLY things are gonna get rough....DUH!!

Fortunately... due to the GM bailout...(OBAMA) Michigan was able to make strides in an economic comeback though we are still not out of the water. There are still cities in Michigan that suffer big time because the jobs that were there...have come and gone. Other states in the area are in the same boat if not worse off.

The FBI was so kind to post a list of the countries most dangerous cities instead of trying to help crack down on the crime rate.... go figure... that being said... here's the list.
