Progressive lawmakers keep feeding ‘the crime virus’
[NYPOST] No less an authority than former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton warns that the Legislature’s failure to truly fix last year’s botched criminal-justice reforms has set the city up for big trouble when the COVID-19 threat recedes.

"As we finally get rid of one virus, there’s going to be a second virus created by the Legislature, which is gonna be the crime virus," he said Sunday.

As the top cop who began New York City’s decades-long success in driving down crime, and then returned to keep the miracle going under lefty Mayor Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
, Bratton deserves a listen. If the Legislature’s leaders refuse to listen, maybe the voters will.

Bratton didn’t mince words: State politicians, he said, "put so much garbage in, they basically generate a lot of garbage coming out, and that reform package coming out is more of the same."

Bratton also slammed de Blasio’s drive to dump dangerous Rikers Island detainees onto city streets amid the pandemic, echoing the worries of all five city district attorneys. Some compassionate releases make sense ‐ but, as the DAs put it, "the city’s jail system is capable of appropriately managing the health needs of the remaining inmates."

Many inmates are homeless or accused of domestic violence: If released, where do they go ‐ and how does it improve safety?
