Expect Brooklyn and the Bronx to have the highest. I believe Brooklyn is usually the most dangerous borough regardless of this mayor or not. I've been to Brownsville and East New York a couple times and I'm not surprised in the slightest. However, I'd wager people in Mill Basin and Dyker Heights have little to worry about, among some other neighborhoods like Manhattan Beach and probably Bay Ridge.
you're from Boston and you are worried about the rep of Brooklynites?
Nah, I don't really care about the rep of Brooklynites. Just calling out an unintlligent statement by Dermot Shea. You have made another thread about shooting in SI up 108%. Crime is up across NYC.
Btw, my current location doesn't have anything to do with it. No need to need to prove my linkage to NYC.
Half of NYC shooting surge linked to Brooklyn, NYPD says

Half of the shootings that have rattled New York City this summer happened in Brooklyn or have a strong link to the borough, the NYPD’s top cop said Tuesday.
“That’s a big problem,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said during an interview on NY1.
“What we’re starting to see, even shootings in other boroughs, when you dig a little deeper and peel back the onion, you see Brooklyn individuals and perpetrators with active gun cases in Brooklyn committing violence in other parts of the city.”
As of Sunday, 475 people had been shot in Brooklyn this year, accounting for just under half the victims citywide, NYPD statistics show. By this time last year, 234 Brooklynites had been shot.
Repsonse: Opinion
I have known this for over 40 years.
Most crime stems from the projects
which is Ground Zero.
Yes; of course. There are other crime throughout the city
but the Housing projects guarantee crime as much as
the dollar stores guarantee everything in the store for a dollar.
Level the housing projects and you will level out the crime.
It’s hilarious more companies are still moving to or incorporating in Brooklyn, and even theorizing about a return to regular in office presence. Not a chance in hell I’m working there. Completely clueless.
Yes, lets blame the entire boro of Brooklyn instead of antifa, BLM, and the terrible Mayoral leadership which has created the environment for crime to surge in NYC.
