No. This happened in Beaumont. He doesn't comment when things like this happen there.

Now when it happens in other cities, towns and communities in our area, he is all over it. Very very quick to respond.

The three Mid-County cities (divided only by city limits signs) have a combined population of 48,600 (2022 stats). Beaumont the same year had 112,000.

So Beaumont is 2.3 times the population of Mid-County.

In five years from 2019-2023 (years final FBI data available) Mid-County had a total of 7 homicides. That multiplied by 2.3 (to compare sizes equally) Beaumont should have had 16 homicides in the same five years.

Beaumont didn’t have 16 homicides total. In fact they never had a single year as low as 16. They actually had 94 homicides or just at about a rate of 600% higher.

I guess a population of about 50k isn’t up to a big city status yet but about 100k is.
