The joke of NYC politics continues . All of our tax dollars going to waste by the second with DA’s & inept policies, with no concrete resolution to deter theft.

the NYPD does their jobs pretty well actually. They catch tons of criminals every day. not saying they can't be very dumb sometimes but the issue isn't that they "do nothing." Blame the liberal courts and legal system that puts em back on the street within a few hours. What's even the point of arresting criminals when some shitlib judge wont put them in jail?

Because I lived in NYC for 11 years and during that time I helped physically apprehend several criminals that were victimizing innocent bystanders. so, I actually have quite a bit more experience with the nypd and crime than the average New Yorker that cowers and runs when feral criminals get wild. Don't think much has changed since in the 10 months I've been gone but please enlighten me

Really? Number of police on the street is up. And so is crime. So isn't that LITERALLY the NYPD not doing their job?

Or is preventing crime not their job?

Cops stop crime? What planet do you live on? Cops show up to do reports and then find/arrest suspects. If the people they arrest get released in few hours, how is that their fault?

EXACTLY.

Cops don't prevent crime they respond to it. And Increasing the number of cops only increases the number of people responding to the crime.

It sounds like we agree and backed ourselves into an argument .

Lol. Really massaging those stats huh, lol? If you ignore everywhere New Yorkers live, eat, work, and spend time... crime is down! Lol. Adams and Hocul going for the participating trophies.

IDK it's the only stat i heard on NPR. Also is there a source for there being more cops on the street? Last i heard the NYPD is severely short staffed and only upped the number of units in the transit system
