Look forward: the NYPD scores great success against violent crime.
Yes, New Yorkers still Have a good reason to feel less safe a few years ago than they did – but let’s first look at the good news.
Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch announced on Tuesday that the city saw the modern history record recording in murders and shootings in the first five months of this year.
Credit above all the work of the best but very effective approach to the public safety of New York and the law of the law. Every law, always.
The NYPD is back in the life of life, not leaving “small” offenses, such as traffic violations and aggressive panhandling, sliding that follows a great crime when police officers stop sweating with the small stuff.
The Department also places more agents in areas with a high gun violence and taking more illegal firearms: officers have so far pulled 2,200 guns off the street.
Tisch praising the good work of her officers, Tisch said: “This kind of results never happen by accident, and certainly not at a time when the State’s penalty laws have made a rotating door of our criminal justice system.”
Amen: The historic dip in shootings and murders is a heavily fought performance. Point.
But you are not the only one you don’t feel safer.
For example, a survey last month for the re -election campaign of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has shown that 56% of the likely Democratic Primary voters described crime as got out of hand or a major problem.
It is not a small irony that Bragg is the messenger, but “why” is completely clear: we Are Even less safe in important ways that are largely outside the control of the police.
One: the overall transit crime is somewhat immersed, but the no-bail legislation of the state and the shortcomings of New York in dealing with mentally disease are still destruction: crime attacks in the metro have risen 19%, with police officers and MTA employees who make up 36% of the victims.
And Tisch himself on Tuesday marked another grim stat: violent crime among children has exploded since the rose of the State made the age law almost impossible to try under the age of 18 in the criminal bank. From 2018 to 2024 the number of minor shooters was 192%and the count of children who get shot 81%jumped, while minor guns rose 136%.
Other “reforms” of the State brought a scourge from stores that are closed and forced others to keep everyday supplies such as toothpaste and deodorant behind closed plexiglas, while legalization of Marihuana New Yorkers has gifted with the always present region of Pot on the street.
Add the impact of tens of thousands of ‘asylum seekers’ who come to the city, with their hiding places such as crime magnets and areas such as the ‘Market of Sweethearts’ along Roosevelt Avenue in Queens plagued by open-air drug and prostitution markets.
Tisch is a dedicated, no-nonsense, whip-smart leader-but she took over the NYPD after years of disastrous Lefty policy carried the law and order in New York to the bone.
She cannot solve the city’s foreign crime problem alone.
Her urge for better enforcement is at odds with every extreme left-wing progressive in Albany and in the city council, not to mention Das and judges, who strive to protect it gut Due to confronted consequences for crime – which means victims suffers a lot.
The NYPD alone is not possible complete Recover your sense of security: that requires solving the laws that New York has brought into this mess and the voting of the wages that resist the required change.
