Watch out, Bronx voters: one of your municipal representatives thinks you are idiots.
Councilor Althea Stevens says that people in her bronx district who want more agents want more agents just don’t get that “other solutions” will make them safe.
Magical, as good as we can tell: a social worker of trade and a NYPD definition in deed, Stevens pushes “Violent Interrunters” and expanded youth programming as major crime reducers.
“People in my community ask for more agents because they have no other solutions,” she smoked about last week’s public safety committee, where she encouraged the legislation to eliminate the NYPD bend database.
Do not pay attention to the reality on the site in the 44th district with high crime (over the Grand Competourse, Yankee Stadium and Bronx Terminal Market), which is one of the busiest NYPD commands of the city and invents a large part of its municipal district.
In the first three days of 2025 the 44th saw two murders.
Under the 77 districts of the city (per compstat) it had the Fourth Most Big Crimes Crimes (3,223) In 2024, including 16 murders and 45 shootings, with a major crime that has been increasing 41% since 2019.
Still Stevens thinks her voters are wrong Because they want more agents; Council Progressives know better.
No: New Yorkers who have to deal with the shooting of rifle and on the street at night know that their fear is real.
And while they can do that pretend The idea of youth programs and anti-crime advisers, they know that more agents on the street are theirs main Hope for raised safety.
A petition started for the Democratic Primary of 24 June. Let’s hope that Stevens’ insanity inspires someone To get to the mood, send her pack and start taking the worries of Bronx voters seriously, instead of polishing them as stupid.
