3. “We’re struggling with homicides and shootings,” NYPD Chief of Department James O’Neill said Monday. “As we expect when warm weather comes, we see an increase in certain crimes.”

NYPD reveals increase in homicides and gun violence in NYC - NY Daily News
Your contempt for the facts is mildly entertaining.
"And in New York, where the murder rate has risen nearly 18 percent in a five-month span this year compared to the previous year, stop and frisk is sorely missed.
A surge in New York City murders — including four people slain in just five bloody hours as the weekend began — has grieving family members begging Mayor de Blasio to bring back the NYPD’s right to search for guns.
“We need stop-and-frisk,” Stacey Calhoun, the devastated uncle of one of the four fatalities, said Saturday afternoon, tears filling his eyes over the nephew he had just lost.
Jahhad Marshall — a charismatic 23-year-old with a promising future as a chef — had died of a stray bullet to his back early that morning outside the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, police said.
“Somebody has to put their foot down,” the anguished uncle said.
“A lot of people would agree with stop-and-frisk if it’s for the safety among us,” he said.
“They used to fight with their hands, he said. “It seems like all these kids have guns these days.” […]
As another woman at the Marcus Garvey Houses said of stop-and-frisk, “They need to target it. With all these shootings, people getting killed, do it, but stop and frisk the guys you know from experience might have a gun, and not some kid who’s trying to better his life and get out of here.”
If you recall, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has effectively ended the practice, which brought the murder rate down considerably during Giuliani’s tenure as mayor, helping save countless black lives."

Did I mention the end of stop and frisk is one more in a long line of Liberal policy mistakes and failures.....

Repeating the same lie might have worked for Hitler, but it won't work for you.
I never lie.
But, you know that, don't you, NYLiar.
I proved you lied because I proved that they are counting some murders as 2015 statistics when the actual killings occurred in years past.
I realize that you can't process a concept of such complexity,
but at least my liberal friends will get it.
Oh, but out of mercy I will let you plead innocent to the lie charge by reason of ignorance and poor research skills.
