[Narrator:] They ignored the lessons.
NYC (8.5mil) has fewer murders than Baltimore (625,000). Just cause this is the new normal, don't ignore the lessons. It wasn't inevitable.

Crime is number one concern for black adults. Police doesn't even make the list. If this shocks you, ponder why you're so out of touch. Maybe even pipe down a bit on what you think are other people's priorities. There will be no NYT or NPR story on this.

Indeed. We had literally solved the problem of murder on the subway by getting the number in 2017 down to, wait for it: ZERO.
Then, instead of doing what worked, we decided policing is racist, decriminalized turnstile jumping, and ordered transit police to stop enforcing rules.

Fun fact: in 1993 there were 18,623 people in NYC jails and 1,927 murders. After 10 years of "mass incarceration and broken windows policing," murders were down to 597 AND the jail population decreased to 14,157.
They hate policing more than care about crime OR incarceration.

People have such short memories about how much opposition there was to what we now take mostly for granted. Yes, congestion pricing would be like the smoking ban in bars & restaurants and the pedestrian redo of Times Square and getting cars out of Central park. Improvements all.
I sincerely believe the anger at it would’ve died down in months, as people a) got used to it, & b) began to see the early benefits.
Similar to when Mayor Bloomberg first pedestrianized sections of Broadway, around Times Square. People screamed bloody murder at first.

I'm sick and tired of white journalists telling us a rise in violence is a "false narrative." Violence is not at a historic low. Last year saw 203 murders in DC (2nd highest since 2003). The historic low was 88 murders in 2012. 96% of victims are Black. And carjacking is up.
Violent crime in DC is actually at historic lows. And it went down 7% in 2022 and is already down another 7% in 2023.

It's a political choice: "He fled but got arrested within 48 hours. As a result, he could not be charged with escape. The SAFE-T Act decriminalized absences of less than 2 days."
"What? Can you really flee electronic monitoring for 2 days and it doesn't matter?" Yes.
A man has been sentenced to 20 years for murdering his cousin while on electronic monitoring.
He fled but got arrested within 48 hours.
As a result, he could not be charged with escape. The SAFE-T Act decriminalized absences of less than 2 days.

This might be the time for a reporter to keep filming and get arrested in the nation's interest.
Republicans don't want to be caught on camera running away from questions about their secret bill to take health insurance from millions.

Some people look at funny when I say the anti-police crowd can be actively pro-criminal. But what else do you call this? School officials are so ideological opposed to cops that they're willing to actively obstruct a police investigation into the murder of their students.

I learned tonight that NYPD officers are getting charged by the Civilian Complaint Review Board and punished by the NYPD for — I'm not making this up —"threatening arrest." Cops. Warning people commiting crimes they need to desist. Or else. The anti-policing world has gone mad.

Did you hear about the chokehold death in NYC where the killer wasn't arrested at first after holding the victim for 10 min? Then released on recognizance despite the advice of his lawyer? No? Why not?
Corde Scott is the dead kid. I'd never heard his name.

More people have been murdered on the NYC subway this year than unarmed black people shot & killed by police, nationwide. They're not related, except the reaction. The latter sparked a national "reckoning" while with the former I'm hearing we shouldn't "over-react" to anecdotes.

After trying the more guns thing, could we try the fewer guns thing?
Texas gun laws:
▪️No background checks.
▪️No registration.
▪️No license required.
▪️No assault weapon ban.
▪️No magazine capacity restriction.
▪️No law requiring stolen guns to be reported.
These kids are sitting ducks.

There are certain mistakes you're just not allowed to make as a police officer. This is one of them.

I mean, feel free to hate police as much as you want. It's a free country. But please don't hate police for other people you don't know and probably have a much more nuanced position on law enforcement than you do.

This is his partner in crime, dragging the cop down the stairs. Beige jacket, green backback, black helmet. He's (barely) in the bottom left of the frame at 33 sec, right when man shouts "take him out."

Gun buy backs do not work. We know this. There is literally nothing more proven in the entire field criminal justice. We know this more than we know anything. These events are worthless. (They do, however, give police and politicians "free" tax-payer funded publicity.)
Gun buyback events like this one play a critical role in getting firearms off our streets in NYC, and have proven to be successful.
Right now from 10:00am to 1:00pm in Bed-Stuy (115 Throop Ave) 👇

Today at the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) rally people cheered when a speaker spoke approvingly of Hamas killing and kidnapping "hipsters" at a rave. They cheered this at Times Square. Believe them. Progressive New Yorkers need to stop voting for these people.
Anti-Semitism is alive and well on the American right and left.
We’ve seen it growing on the right.
The past 48 hours have revealed it in all its horror among elements of the left.
Some are excusing kidnappings, rapes, murders. It is vile beyond description.

I find the NYT prism so odd. The Cross Bronx X-way displaced 10,000s. I believe the majority were white (often Jewish) and Puerto Rican. So how does the NYT summarize? "The Robert Moses-era highway displaced Black families." That's really all they can see.

This is the police abolitionists' dream. Or at least the reality.
Instead of calling police because somebody was trying to steal their car, potential victims get together with their neighbors to deescalate the situation and then provided services to the potential criminal.

What shocks me is not that this keeps happening, it's that we vote for people who refuse to care enough about victims to stop this from happening again. There's a simple fix: Make this guy post bail so he's not released again after being arrested again. It really is a choice.
There is an unmistakable pattern to these "random" assaults by "unhinged" assailants.

A 70-year-old Australian woman visiting her daughter in the Big Apple was randomly assaulted by an unhinged stranger who was sprung weeks earlier for doing the same thing.
