[quote](Reuters) - New York City passed a day without a single report of a person being shot, stabbed or subject to other sorts of violent crime for the first time in recent memory, police said on Wednesday. The rare day occurred on Monday, near the end of a year when the city's murder rate is on target to hit its lowest point since 1960, according to New York Police Department chief spokesman Paul Browne. Browne said it was "first time in memory" the city's police force had experienced such a peaceful day. While crime is up 3 percent overall, including a 9 percent surge in grand larceny police attribute to a rash of smart phone thefts, murder is down 23 percent over last year, the NYPD said. As for a day without violent crime, experts said they could not recall that happening in recent memory. "In a city of 8 million people, this is extremely rare," said Tom Repetto, author of ‘American Police, 1949-2012.' There have been 366 murders in the city so far this year, compared with 472 at this time last year, according to the NYPD. By comparison, Chicago, Illinois, a city of about 2,707,000 people that has been plagued by gang violence in 2012, has registered 462 murders so far this year, according to the Chicago Police Department. In Philadelphia, a city of about 1,536,000 people, there have been 301 murders so far this year, the exact same number as this time last year, the Philadelphia Police Department reports. Repetto attributed New York's success to "pro-active" police department tactics, including its controversial stop and frisk policy. While critics have charged that the dramatic increase in stops hasn't led to a similar rise in gun seizures, police officials have countered that proactive tactics have made criminals think twice about taking their guns out on the street.[/quote] [url]http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/28/us-usa-newyork-crime-idUSBRE8AR18S20121128[/url] What a lovely day.

Didn't that 44 year old white guy shoot a teenager in NYC because his music was too loud right on Monday? [editline]28th November 2012[/editline] Then again, it might've just been near NYC and not technically in the city limits.

Sounds like an Onion News article.
[QUOTE=frankie penis;38630683]except for the guy that was stabbed and stuffed in a dumpster and no one found him yet.[/QUOTE] So what it really means is that a few days ago no one was killed and stuffed in a dumpster?
"reported" Clearly there's a bunch of unreported incidents.
This is a bit disturbing to know that its breaking news when 24 hours pass and nobody gets murdered.
