No, that was Fergusson, Baltimore, New Orleans. NYPD is the most professional police organization in the country. During Katrina the NO cops were in awe of how disciplined the NYPD vistors were when helping with the situation
I was in Katrina. I got lucky and was picked because of my military background. Spent 2 weeks down there. Good memories.
Shootings soar 205 percent after NYPD disbands anti-crime unit
By passing judgement of guilt on an entire police force because of the acts of some in uniforms should have required more examination. Did anybody not realize the consequences? Now communities that were in the greatest of dangers because of current and ongoing high crime but protected by police will suffer the most. Yes.... the police kept neighborhoods that required help... in check. Movements pushing for defunding the police department of one billion dollars have now led to more cops being taken off the streets resulting in higher rates of murder.......Sad...........
Think.......please think............Put our cops back on the beat..............Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
You are only hurting yourself and your community.........
What is your opinion?
Curious minds would like to know....
Abolishing police departs MAY be worth a shot (pun intended). I say don't knock it until you try it!
That was actually a policy on paper? How can it be done so that legally it doesn't look discriminatory?
I don't see how they could unless it was incentivized somehow. Minority cops would be sent to neighborhoods that generally lean "bad". How could a policy be legal which ensures that minority cops all get stuck working in bad 'hoods?

Not really being sarcastic. This is how the extreme left thinks. A white girl can call a black cop racist and "systemic racism" makes it true. To the normal person, that makes no sense at all.

1) unemployment

6) poor quality education
7) inherited poverty
8) profit of theft
9) poorly negotiated personal disputes
10) public housing density
11) police / community relations
The bolded, and a criminal justice system which currently does not punish anyone except for the most egregious of crimes. NYC/NY don't just let petit larceny perps back out on the street. We let robbers back out to rob again, the next day. This is a SERIOUS mistake. In my opinion, robbery is the best example.
We treat perps with kids gloves here and cops are considered the enemy.
What other outcome can there be besides rising crime?
De Blasio blames coronavirus while NYPD chief says new restrictions caused crime wave
Mayor Bill de Blasio largely blamed the coronavirus for the bloody weekend crime wave in the Big Apple — as the NYPD’s chief said the problem is much more complex, pointing to anti-police sentiment, bail reform and cops feeling they’ve had their hands tied as among the reasons for the sudden surge of violence.
I think 1 and 2 play a big part. And don't forget, many people that don't have jobs are out there looking for any way to make money. And sadly that leads to gang wars.

Do you have a reference article for this?
If this was a policy change when did it happen?
