Here is the KSLA article:
Report: Shreveport-Bossier Ranks High in Crime Nationwide

Quote:

Morgan Quitno's 13th annual America's Safest and Most Dangerous Cities rankings puts the Shreveport-Bossier metro area at tenth most dangerous in the country.

I saw that this report came out the other day, I think it listed like St. Louis at the top of the list. Shreveport is number 10 ?? damn.

The article quotes Sheriff Prator. I like him. not sure I understand the rest of this article .. it goes on to say:

Quote:

Prator says crime in Caddo is down 26 percent on his watch. Shreveport Police say it's at a 25 year low. Price says it's a matter of perception, and personal reality. Price says, "it may be rampant here, but it hasn't effected me."
The City of Shreveport ranks as the 51st most dangerous city in the nation. Baltimore, Maryland stands at number 12, and Boston, Massachusetts sits behind us, at number 58.

Was that article written by a middle school student? The grammar is atrocious and it doesn't explain its points.

I'm confused as to why at the top of the article we're ranked 10th but at the bottom of the article we're ranked 51st ?

it seems the Bossier City Police Chief didn't agree with the report too much..
