Meanwhile, cities like Little Rock, Rochester, and Lincoln (which went from six to zero murders) shine as crime-crushing success stories. The national drop masks local chaos — and the data’s early nature means official numbers may shift. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
