Yes, but being as Memphis is about the 10th largest city in the US and is sporting the 13th highest murder rate (both are per capita), they are doing better than say, a city that's 5th largest with the 5th largest murder rate. Get it?

Please don't tell anyone that I've been supporting Memphis, because first of all, they'd not believe it, and secondly they'd think I've been drinking way too much purple coolaid.
