The entirety of his term is what will count, not just one year. He has some inertia coming from the Giuliani/Bloomberg era that keep things under control at the beginning of his term. Now it all him and his policies. He'll have to live (and run on) the results.

Doubt it. Its going to be an average summer. Only difference is less people are going to get caught because the cops have stopped caring. Politics is the number one priority for those scumbags. Besides they're probably the only group that actually want the city to get dangerous and violent.

Murders fluctuated under Bloomberg...and at the time the murder rate in NYC reached an all time low (since murders have been recorded in NYC), stop and frisk had already been drastically scaled back.

Ah, summer in the city. The projects are jumping already, much worse than last year. The bloodbath hasn't even begun. Perps know they are safe to carry guns now since cops can't and won't do anything about it until it is time to mop up the blood. I just hope the number of sheeple affected remains low.

I'm interested where you get your figure - and what is it.
It's true:
Mord, Totschlag, Ttungsdelikte - Polizeimeldungen Schweiz
And Kanton Zurich has had 26, including 5 people murdered in one house on one day:
Five dead, including guman, in Swiss domestic shooting
And they're smaller than Manhattan in population.

So in 2015, Manhattan has lower homicide rates than comparable cities in Switzerland..

Not that it matters or affects anybody because nearly all people murdered in a homicide are connected to the shooter in some way or are in gangs. Being randomly shot almost never happens.

I have no problem with stop and frisk.

If your dumb enough to wear a hoodie over year head and your pants below your knees, you deserve to be detained and searched by law enforcement.

A few court fines should be enough of a financial hit to make these idiots contemplate growing up and stop acting like adolescents.

So if it's cold outside and you don't have a hat the police should assume you're about to commit a crime?

I agree, people who wear their pants below their knees are dumb.

"A few court fines should be enough of a financial hit to make these idiots contemplate growing up and stop acting like adolescents"

How you dress determines your maturity? LOL. When these same folks get tired of the harassment by police and realize if they don't pay the unnecessary fine and result to robbing folks like you I hope you don't mind.

This happens every year in NYC. Besides cops do not keep the projects safe. All they csn do is respond to crimes committed there. The only wsy to make the projects safe is to get rid of the problem population there. The cops can't do that. Only the government can order that.

You have proof to backup those claims of yours? I'd say (of course my opinion doesn't matter, but the 4th Amendment does) that the ruling was on firm grounds.
