NYC disbanded its anti-crime unit. Guess what happened next

Jazz Shaw June 21, 2020

Almost a week ago, following calls from the streets for “police reform” in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and his Police Chief responded by disbanding the city’s more than 600-person plainclothes anti-crime unit. (Because your go-to move when facing a rolling series of riots and arson attacks is to dump your anti-crime unit.) That seemed to please at least some of the anti-cop activists and agitators while scaring the bejesus out of homeowners and small businesses. So how’s that decision working out for them so far? According to the New York Post and some of the NYPD men and women in blue who haven’t been canceled yet, pretty much as you probably would have predicted. Shootings and murders have shot up – pun intended – with violent crime rates more than double the same period last year........

This is also a good moment to stop and ask ourselves just how these gun crime rates are spiraling upward so quickly. This is New York City. It has some of the harshest gun control laws in the entire country. It’s nearly impossible to legally purchase a firearm there no matter how pristine your record is. You’d think halting nearly all gun sales would cut down on gun crimes, wouldn’t you? At least that’s the theory the Democrats generally run with................To Read More.....

My Take -I remember when de Blasio was first running for Mayor of NYC.  I watched the debate where there were a bunch of Democrats and one Republican, and although the Republican wasn't impressive, he didn't look insane as did the rest. 

Anthony Weiner was running then and, believe it or not, he sounded the most sane of the Democrats, and by a lot!  As for de Blasio, he just talked and said nothing, safe strategy since his real views were clearly more insane than his fellow Democrats.  But his far left credential were well known, so there was no way they could use ignorance as an excuse.

So, what's the real issue here?  Since it was clear a Democrat was going to get the job, and when all you have to pick from are turds, all you can get is a turd.  And NYC is getting the stench they deserve.  

Maybe they need more activity in place of accomplishment, like more gun laws?
