If the killers were better shots and only hit other criminals, would anyone complain?

Sideways shooting looks really cool and gangsta though.

Maybe your not listening

"Yet Adams’s crime-fighting strategy largely amounts to the police doing things better, not differently. “We have a gang and a gun problem in the city. And how you deal with that is you focus on gangs and guns,” he says. “I would reinstitute a plainclothes unit—better cops, not the cops we had before. We want cops with good communication skills, conflict resolution, and to use the data to target.”

It's worst way to shoot something unless point blank. Because the bullets trajectory is completely off center.

I have been listening. The above is the only thing said about gangs in the article.


In the mayoral debates questions about gangs were not asked and I don't recall l any candidates talking about them about them

Then going to Eric Adams website:

https://ericadams2021.com/safety/

and

https://ericadams2021.com/erics-safe...ty-lower-crime


no mention of gangs

___________________________

what is happening now is a lot of these shootings are about gangs attacking each other over affiliation.
That type of thing used to happen less here than in other states where gang warfare is more common.
And innocent bystanders get hurt also

I know there was a candidates forum in Brownsville. There is mention, just not the deep conversation that I think you are looking for.
Could it be that he does not think gangs attacking each other are as important or widespread as other crime categories and he feels there are other priorities? Just a guess here. I don’t follow nyc crime details they closely.

We spent two nights on patrol with the NYPD. Here's what they told us about spiking crime in the city

(CNN)The New York Police Department's 46th Precinct, covering the South Bronx, was once known as the most dangerous square mile in America. Though not near the rate of the early 1990s, crime in New York City is spiking once again. Shooting incidents this May were up 73% compared to the same period last year, according to the NYPD.

We joined officers of the 4-6 on patrol on two busy nights and found them responding to a crime wave on a scale they have never experienced.
"I grew up in the South Bronx. I've never seen this," Officer Yesenia Rosado told CNN.
US police 'very nervous' about officer-initiated enforcement as gun violence soars


Here, these officers find many of the shooters and victims are still in their teens.
"It sucks to see 16-year-old kids shooting and killing each other," said Officer Katherine Torres. "And that's what we do see a lot of here. We have 16-year-olds with robbery patterns and murder charges and it's like they didn't actually get to be kids."

According to some, it's just "petty" crime.

Sad. Stop and frisk? Plain clothes cops? Oh right. That wasn’t fair. Hmmmm go figure. Oh well.

Hey the people in the inner city are happy that the cops are not stopping them. However they may catch a bullet from a perp. All good stuff. The NYPD can take reports and pick the bodies up afterwards. At least the African Americans are not offended anymore!
