U mean to tell me NYPD installed cameras in the area and they still stand around looking for clues come on now

I don’t know if there is a larger crime wave, or more people are getting citizen app.

no random shoot thats a hit 🙄.

December 2019. Crime at a all time low. May 2020. Crime Spikes to over double amounts. Mayor or NYC and city council are Quiet. Governor and NYS Attorney General silence. All Looking the other way because they love the bail reform bill. They let loose the lawlessness. With that, empowering the younger generation to go wild and loot and commit more crime to add to the city numbers. But they will make the cops scapegoats because they know cops are damned if they do or don’t, while doing their job. Ask yourself if you don’t like law enforcement then maybe you’re part of the problem because in all reality, who do you think handles all other calls when you don’t need the fire department or ems in the middle of the night ? And you don’t get a bill or a rise in your insurance premium ... because of it ..
