text_1: Hollywood is #1 in Broward homicides in 2013. Thanks Chief Fernandez!
text_2: "The police union’s billboard states, ""Hollywood is #1 in Broward homicides in 2013. Thanks Chief Fernandez!"" Hollywood had 16 homicides in 2013, and we could not find any city that had any more homicides than Hollywood. While the number is correct, the union cherry-picked crime statistics to find one that puts the city in the worst light. At this point, we have no idea if the number is part of a trend or an aberration. We also know that overall, crime decreased. The billboard places the blame on Chief Fernandez, but criminologists say the chief can’t be blamed for the number of murders, especially when it is such a small number."
