Crime in NYC soars

[Thinker101]

Gun violence exploded across the city after the NYPD disbanded its anti-crime unit of plainclothes cops on June 15, with three times as many shootings in the last two weeks of the month over the same period in 2019, police stats show.

For the 2021 fiscal year, the $1 billion reduction in the NYPD's operating budget includes $484 million in cuts to the department; shifting the command of school officers to the Department of Education; eliminating two of the four NYPD training classes this year, which reduced headcount by 1,163 uniform officers; and reducing overtime spending by $352 million, according to the city council.


Shootings soar 205 percent after NYPD disbands anti-crime unit

[MarathonMike]

Don't worry New Yorkers, deBlasio to the rescue. He will order a task force to paint BLACK LIVES MATTER on all New York Streets.

 

[Rocko]

And to think I left New York with a heavy heart

 

[shockedcanadian]

If Toronto would do the same, we'd be in a much better economic position, and, our crime would go DOWN, because there wouldn't be undercovers to "manufacture threats".

A gang in Toronto might be 10 people in some poor neighbourhood. 4-5 Meatheats and 5-6 undercover cops...

 

[B. Kidd]

Taking plainclothes police off the street isn't working out for them.
Too bad.

 

[norwegen]

With limited funding, the cops should just ignore the gang violence and focus on solving the crimes that involve innocent victims.

Dr. Death (Andrew Cuomo) is responsible for over 3,000 nursing home deaths and he has a little army of State Trooper bodyguards so he is riding it out in seclusion. Mayor DeBlasio has a little army of NYPD bodyguards so he doesn't give a damn either. The democrat party and their minions in the mainstream media have the system rigged so that President Trump would be labeled a fascist if he intervened so God help the innocent victims of mob rule in the big (democrat) cities.

Getting dicey up there to say the least. My literary agent wants us to come on up to Midtown Manhattan for another "get to know you" with a few interested publishers. My wife emphatically said no . . . it can either wait, or my agent can do the manuscript auction without the meet and greet. While I realize it's a highly personal and perhaps somewhat vain dream, I have been fantasizing much of my entire life the feel of holding my own published book in my hands. And I could care less if it sells less than one hundred copies. Myself? I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to make that dream come true. However, I'm married and thus not alone in this world, not the lone wolf I still sometimes envision myself to be. So I've got no choice but to defer to my better half and hope a publisher still picks up the book without my in person pitch. Again with my vanity but I mean come on! I finally come this close to becoming a published author and, of course, the fucking world decides to come apart at the same time. I've already decided that if my manuscript is published I will visit bookstores everywhere and stealthily sign random copies. I'm hoping COVID and domestic terrorism doesn't kill that secret dream as well . . .

Can't you just do it via video?

The dirty little secret is that the democrat party thrives on unrest and anger and mob violence. The hell with the Country, they think this is the way to win an election

 

[Likkmee]

Hopefully Iran has 3. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and New Yakk toss in Hollywood for good measure

With limited funding, the cops should just ignore the gang violence and focus on solving the crimes that involve innocent victims.

The thing is the greatest crime increase is in the gang violence neighborhoods, and plenty of the people there are innocent and being victimized. Even if it's gang on gang violence, there is the risk of splash damage from the gang related shootings, not to mention the increased fear causing people to shelter inside their living spaces.

If the funding is too thin for thorough investigations of crimes, then cases involving innocent victims should get priority.

That's all I'm saying.

The issue then becomes the gangbangers stay on the streets to perpetrate more fear and more crime on the people in the neighborhood.

Removing the Street Crimes Unit was the dumbest thing they could do.

I agree. If some thug like a George Floyd or Amaud Arbery gets capped, who cares?

It is a good thing Amazon told them no thanks. Sorry fellas, you guys are nuts.
