What is Going on in New York City
New York used to be an important part of my world from my youth living in Providence through my career in the art world. No more. I learned my lesson returning to Mission Beach where I had an apartment on the beach while attending the Navy’s Engineerig School in 1969. Years later when I saw the beach filthy with used needles and trash, I realized re-living my past memories was disappointing and disheartening for those that let this happen. I feel the same way about New York and the politcians for whatever reason facilitated this side into a place that ultimately will be beyond their resources to fix.
Mayor Adams is now being indcited on mostly eight year old charges of corruption. He claims the DOJ was responding to his please for help from the illegal migrant invasion that was dumped on the city. Adams was in fact very critical of the Biden-Harris adninstration’s handling of the border. The more the DOJ tries to punish Adams the more he will share about Biden’s own corruption and mismanagement. This might well develop into the don’t throw rocks when you are living in a glass house.
What do we know as fact. We know New York city is a snactuary city. We know both the city through Alvin Bragg’s office and the FBI through their data collection after 2022 have skwed the crome stats to make them appear to not be as bad as they are.
As of June 2022 crime up 38%
But is this accurate? In 2022, the Biden regime made it no longer "mandatory" to report crime stats to the FBI. The results was over 1/3 (over 6000 precincts) didn't report any crimes to the FBI. Cities that hardly reported any crime stats to the FBI include NYC, Baltimore, Washington DC, Miami and a ton of entire huge cities. Of course, this was done by the Democrats to hide their soaring crime numbers and easily fool low IQ sheep into believing easily provable hogwash. Read this America Has a Crime Reporting Problem

Tracking crime statistics – and more importantly, whether or not crime is rising or falling in the United States – is getting harder to do. That’s because nearly a third of America’s cities are no longer reporting crime statistics to the FBI.
This is more than just a problem for policymakers looking for data to address the cities most in need of assistance. It also means that some policymakers are demanding bad policy because they’re relying on incomplete data.
The Marshall Project reported that 31 percent of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the U.S. failed to report crime data to the FBI’s national database after transitioning to a new data collection system, according to the latest statistics from the FBI. That’s a slight improvement from 2021, when 40 percent of law enforcement agencies didn’t report crime data. Still, it’s a glaring blind spot, especially when that data is missing from some of the largest metro areas dealing with rampant, out-of-control crime.
Many of those cities also happen to be led by the loudest voices calling for gun control, defunding police and soft-on-crime policies. The trifecta means that gun control politicians are missing a third of the crime picture yet demanding 100 percent of the gun control. Typical behavior for zealots who favor government control over individual freedom.
Biggest Offenders
Just 24 percent of New York’s police departments sent their crime data to the FBI. That’s a failing grade in anyone’s book. That includes New York City’s Police Department, along with neighboring Suffolk, Nassau and Westchester County police. Just 141 of the 583 New York police agencies reported data in 2022.
In New York City alone, new data is revealing that 1,596 officers have either resigned or retired so far this year. That’s up nearly 40% from this time last year, the largest mass departure on New York Police Department record.
A 2021 survey from the Police Executive Research Forum showed a 45% increase in retirements and a nearly 20% spike in resignations over the previous year.
The NYPD is pushing back on those numbers from the police union, saying that departures are only slightly higher than the previous year.
To help discuss why this wave of resignations is happening, retired NYPD detective Michael Alcazar joined “Morning in America” on Monday. Police exodus causes nationwide officer shortage | Fox 59

Violent Crime Is Up as Cities Lose Police Officers. What Now?

For the second time in three years, the United States enters the summer amid a storm of anger at the police. The reports and videos suggesting a delayed and chaotic police response to the Uvalde shooting and the conflicting statements made by law enforcement leadership have rightfully bewildered and enraged millions of people across the country.
Perhaps no stretch of time in recent memory will be scrutinized more carefully than the hour the police stood outside of a locked classroom door. Investigations will likely come, reports will be released, but unless they provide a very good reason for why the supposed good guys with guns waited for so long to confront the shooter — or at the very least, a better one than “they could’ve been shot” — Uvalde will serve not only as an act of terror and senseless, unimaginable violence but also as yet another moment that further ruptured the public’s relationship with the police.
What happened in Uvalde is especially bad for the reputation of the police because it dispels the machismo and heroism that are so often trotted out when law enforcement does something wrong, including killing someone who is unarmed. The public is routinely asked to excuse officers on the basis that they are making split-second decisions in dangerous situations. We are asked to accept that a police officer has to drive up to a 12-year-old Tamir Rice in a park in Cleveland and shoot him immediately because the officer is trying to negate a threat to the public and himself. What Uvalde has shown is that sometimes heavily armed police will stand around for an hour as a heavily armed murderer slaughters children on the other side of a door.
What will all this anger at the police mean for the future of the profession? Last week, I wrote about Rick Caruso, who is running for mayor of Los Angeles on a platform that promises to expand significantly a police department that has struggled to fill even its current allotment of officers. Enrollment in the city’s police academies is also down. Caruso, who says he wants to “clean up” Los Angeles, is banking on the logic that more police officers will lead to a reduction in violent crime.

MANHATTAN (WABC) -- It was quiet overnight in Central Park, likely a result of the increase in police presence after a string of crimes against parkgoers.
Those most recent robberies were allegedly committed by children. Police say the youngsters are living in migrant shelters.
On Thursday, police released new surveillance images of two suspects involved in one of the robbery incidents. The suspects robbed two men in their 20s sitting on a park bench at West 62nd Street and West Drive on Tuesday around 10:45 p.m.
The two male suspects are believed to be 16 or 17.

The first suspect is described as having a slim build, last seen wearing a black tank top, ripped jeans, white sneakers, and a red and white baseball cap. The second suspect is described as having a slim build, last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black ripped jeans, dark colored crocs, and a black baseball cap.
Something needed to be done to put a stop to the robberies, so the NYPD stepped up patrols.
Police on scooters, horseback, and bicycles moved into Central Park starting Wednesday afternoon.
Scores of police on foot held roll call outside Central Park.
Surveillance video showed a group of children, all believed to be living in migrant shelters in the city, as they surrounded a tourist on a park bench and robbed him of his wallet early Tuesday.
Police say the suspect is just 11 years old. He was seen on video using a stolen credit card at a fast-food restaurant.
That card was stolen in one of the Central Park robberies.
Authorities also have a video of him checking in at a migrant shelter.
Two of the three young suspects arrested in a robbery in Grand Army Plaza in Central Park early Tuesday are residing in city-run migrant shelters, one of them at the Row Hotel.
Police put up posters with some of the juveniles' pictures on them. No one has been hurt yet during the robberies, but police are taking the crime surge in the park seriously.

"Groups of anywhere eight to 12 young males approaching victims in the park, robbing them by force, of whatever they can take, air pods, jewelry," said Assistant Chief Jason Savino, NYPD Detectives Bureau.
The juveniles have been spotted staying mostly in the southern part of the park, with recent robberies being committed below 65th Street.
"Southern part of the park, we see a lot of robberies, group robberies, young kids, mugging people or taking their property, we believe these are young migrants who are committing these robberies," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said Wednesday on Mornings @ 10.
Most of the victims have been tourists.
NYPD officials are preparing to deploy drones in Central Park by the end of the month. The drones will respond to incidents in less than one minute, and track suspects until police officers arrive on the ground.

Until then, 40 extra police officers will be deployed into Central Park every night after 7 p.m., targeting the hours when the majority of the muggings are occurring.

High costs, crime, taxes, regulations are all reasons businesses and individuals are fleeing New York City. This, of course, impacts the taxbase meaning taxes go up, city services go down, and corruption increases.
