Instead of comparing the murder rate to the entire U.S. it’s more telling to compare Newark’s current murder rate to it’s historic rate [1]. In 2019 it was at a 6 decade minimum.

In a discussion about new police techniques, I agree that it's far more appropriate to compare Newark's current homocide rate with its historic rate.
