This Doesn't Say much for Michigan

CNN released it's list for the 10 Most Dangerous Cities (based on FBI crime reports)
Wouldn't you know it? Lovely old Detroit came in #2. (So I love outside the 2nd most dangerous city...That makes me feel great!)

2. Detroit, Michigan
Population: 914,353
All violent crimes: 15,913
Murder and non-negligent manslaughter: 385
Forcible rape: 719
Robbery: 5,451
Aggravated assault: 9,358
Property crime: 57,415
Burglary: 12,202

As if that isn't bad enough, Michigan is the only state listed with more than one city in the top 10.

4. Flint, Michigan
Population: 120,681
All violent crimes:2,324
Murder and non-negligent manslaughter: 39
Forcible rape: 140
Robbery: 473
Aggravated assault: 1,672
Property crime: 7,254
Burglary: 2,477
Larceny/theft: 3,214
Motor vehicle theft: 1,563
Arson: 122

Yeah, this makes me feel slightly unsafe!
At least we had ONE in the 10 safest: Troy, Michigan
