The Rant -Pro-Crime?

There is a growing dread among New Yorkers due to policy decisions made by appointed officials that are perceived as "pro-crime, anti-police." These policies disarm law enforcement, undermine the justice system, and empower offenders, leading to increased crime and public safety concerns. As repeat offenders face lenient bail reforms and downgraded charges, the consequences of crime diminish, resulting in more offenses and a sense of lawlessness. Simultaneously, anti-police sentiments reduce the morale of the NYPD, causing slower response times and less visible authority. This atmosphere of fear affects daily life, economic vitality, and community trust, with residents increasingly anxious about safety and businesses struggling against theft. The ideological motivations of these appointees, often from activist backgrounds, tend to overshadow practical public safety needs, risking a return to the high-crime eras of the past and threatening the city's fragile recovery.
