It's not the truth. I'm living in the USA now. I think it's really safe here, safer than in Toronto. I always heard something bad happened in Toronto when I was there. However, I seldom hear that kind of things here. I only heard one unnormal death here. It was a yong guy who got drunk, went into an electrical switch room, and killed himself by electrical shock. The state and local government used huge manpower and huge amount of money to look for this guy for several months. (At first, no one knew that guy was in the electrical switch room.) After that, I truly understand what's "people oriented, people foremost"(以人为本).

What I mean is the city I live, not the whole country. This city is really safe, and I like the lifestyle here.

It's a small university town. However, I have some friends who live in big cities like Houston, Seattle, etc. They are not feeling unsafe at all. BTW, I type English only because I couldn't type Chinese on my computer.

Small town is usually safer than metropolitan city like Toronto.
"Compared to the United States, Statistics Canada data have consistently demonstrated a substantially lower rate of violent crime, but similar rates of property crime[7]. For example, in 2000 the United States' rate for robberies was 65% higher, its rate for aggravated assault was double the Canadian rate, and its murder rate was triple.
Comparing this with data from the U.S Department of Justice, in recent years the gap between in crime rates between the United States and Canada has been narrowing: crime rates in the US have declined faster than those in Canada[8][9]. The current US murder rate is 2.5 times that of Canada per capita[10][11], down from about four times as high during the 1980s. Approximately 70% of the total murders in the US are committed with firearms, vs. about 30% in Canada[15].
Others, such as journalist David Frum, have argued that the situation is in fact far worse, with America's crime problem having dramatically improved in recent years, while Canada's is becoming seriously worse. Quoting from a Toronto Star article, he has argued "Toronto's 78 homicides in 2005 appears to compare favorably to the homicide totals of the three American cities cited by the Star. But those 78 Toronto homicides in 2005 represent a 28% increase over the 61 homicides recorded in Toronto in 1995. Meanwhile, the three U.S. cities cited by the Star each achieved dramatic decreases over the past decade: Chicago down 46% from 823, Washington down 46% from 365, Baltimore down 17% from 322." [12]"
