Dear Pitch: Thanks for keeping the city posted on the crime situation. Now that we have had several high-profile murders in the recent weeks, expect an end-of-the-year series of articles in the city's media quoting KCPD officials to the effect: "Homicides may be up sharply in the past two years, but other forms of violent crime have declined significantly." The establishments of the nation's cities always force their police departments to issue such statements when there are a lot of high-profile homicides: DC's former mayor Marion Barry used to love to say: "Aside from the murders, DC is one of the safest cities in the country." Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
