This is actually two separate terms. The word "outcry" means a general complaint from the public, while "far cry" is an idiom meaning something of a very different nature or magnitude (i.e. distant) from another.

Example:

There was a great outcry over the increase in property taxes.

Examples:

Locking a student in the closet is a far cry from maintaining classroom discipline.

The Christmas celebration at the mall is a far cry from caroling around the town.

The weather in San Diego is a far cry from the snows of Yosemite.
