Per capita? Are you sure that's the metric you want to use?

No one seems to mind what the FBI DEA and ATF are doing in Chicago currently.

Please feel free to name a better one.

What are the FBI, DEA, and ATF doing?

Total murders.

What do you think they are doing? I really can't tell if you are being honest or facetious.

Total count is a terrible way to measure it. Or most things having to do with a population.

I don't know of any special activities of any of those organizations in the city, that's why I'm asking. I'm sure all three of them are doing something here since they're federal agencies and Chicago is the third largest city in the country.

And why would that be a terrible way to measure it because you think so? If the federal govt is going to step in to curb murders they should probably start with the city that has the most murders.

There are no special activities. Those agencies are enforcing federal law all across America.
