'We're taking back the streets': Mayor Bill de Blasio orders MORE cops to be stationed across NYC to curb gun violence after weeks of bloodshed with 142% surge in shootings - despite slashing NYPD budget by $1billion
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Bill de Blasio unveiled his 'Take Back the Block' plan to curb gun violence Friday

  • The initiative focuses on increasing community involvement with civilians serving as 'violence interrupters'
    ...that certainly sounds clever...
    "Blessed be the violence interrupters, for they will get shot."
  • It will also expand the police presence in violent hotspots including Harlem

  • De Blasio announced the plan nearly a week after Fourth of July weekend saw 63 people shot and at least 11 killed in New York City

  • Gun violence has surged more than 140 percent over the past month

  • NYPD officials blamed the surge on de Blasio's decision to cut $1billion from the department's budget and accused him of 'surrendering' the city to crime

#1 Has anybody the him that the NYPD is seeing such a surge in retirement requests that now appointments are needed to submit the paperwork? Where will the "more cops on the street "come from?

#2 And if their ROE is to "wash feet," those that are available will probably not stick their necks out to wind up charged with an act of violence towards a Wakandan.

#6 Is that to give the criminals a new set of targets to shoot at?

#7 Plus, I can't wait till the first community leader gets held up at gun point. Will be the end of that "program".

#8 Not to pick nits, but perhaps letting them go in the first place wasn't that terrific a plan.

#9 Blasio should just open the doors to assisted living for the criminals. That will keep them off the streets.

#13 Passed the tipping point. De Blasio’s NYC won’t recover. The money’s going, the police are going, and I am sure fed money’s going. People get the govt they deserves. Mega cities don’t pencil any more.

#15 Lmao, this is just codifying his handing the streets over to Antifa/BLM. What a sick joke this is

#16 In other words Mayor 'nursing home killer' DeBlasio wants cops to rish their lives for *nothing*? Not to mention taking on the risk that deMayor will feed them to the wolves.
He just cut $1B from their budget. What will he pay them with - used bubble gum?

#17 Some will submit their retirement paperwork. More will retire on the job. New Yorkers voted for this when voted in the Commie for mayor.
