Just how backwards can criticism of Eric Adams' return to 'broken windows' policing get?

| You won the election, Mr. Mayor. Now you own all the problems. |
 [NYPOST] All too predictably, the Legal Aid Society is attacking the NYPD’s renewed "quality of life" policing.
The direly needed shift targets such violations as selling pot, dice games, public drinking and urination, criminal trespass, fare evasion and other acts that Commissioner Keechant Sewell all too rightly calls "precursors for violence."
Cue a Legal Aid Society study purporting to show that the effort will be racially discriminatory. It uses 2021 data indicating that the vast majority of those arrested for such offenses were black and Hispanic, and so provided fodder for the usual suspects on the City Council to assail top police brass.
Guess what word is missing from Legal Aid’s study? Victim.
Yet black New Yorkers, about 24% of the city population, make up the vast majority of serious crime victims: 65% of those murdered in 2020, and 74% of shooting victims.
