Reply to comment by AnthonyGuns in Eric Adams dubs NYC private security group ‘wise’ guys for battling shoplifters by [deleted]

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 .

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
