Shipment rule # 97 You ' re not allowed to be good . <| sep |> With 4 drives , why not go for raid 5 instead ? <| sep |> It you are going to bring data , why don ' t you bring official sources . Not some cheap ass user based website . Which is what Numbeo is in case you didn ' t know . According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC we had 1810 homicides in 2014 , which is a decrease from what we had in 2012 , and which incidentally kept decreasing in 2015 as per the Ministry of Police Ministerio de Interior y Polica . I agree that it is a high number , but take into account that this includes all homicides . Things should be better , but are far from a lawless badland where you can ' t go out of your house . If you are going to compare us with Miami , which is a county with 400 thousand people , let me just copy what the FBI ' s Uniform Crime Report says Violent crime rate 1 , 213 . 4 crimes per 100 K peoplePopulation 407 , 526 In 2013 , 71 murders , 96 rapes , 2 , 216 robberies , and 2 , 562 assaults were reported in Miamia total of 4 , 945 violent crimes . Don ' t compare apples with potatos . And no , at no point in my life have te police stopped me to ask me for money for dinner . Maybe I look poor be they pitty me . But maybe all the people I know is in the same situation . In the end , my only point is that neither your anecdotal evidence , nor mine , should be used to pain a biased picture of our country . Our country is flawed and it has crime . But is not a hell in which you can ' t walk on the street for fear of getting killed by a spooked robber .
