Crime way, way up

From the Daily News:

Violent crime surged and police response times slowed over the past fiscal year, new city data show.

In the 12-month period ending June 30, the city saw a spike in murder (6.5%), forcible rape (32.3%), robbery (3.7%) and felony assault (4.9%) over the same period last year, the mayor's management report out Friday revealed.

Meanwhile, the NYPD's response time rose by nearly a minute.


Hey, this is called "doing more with less". Just think how bad the data really is if this is the fudged report!

LOL!

Maybe Sadik Kahn can waste some more tax money....creating her idiotic mini street parks....instead of it going to putting more police out on the streets.

H-m-m-m....
maybe in the meantime citizens ought to consider "packing" for their own protection....until Mayor Doomberg finally makes up his mind what NYC's real priorities are.

Uh....notice how Mike is returning our city to the 1970s crime level!

What does Mr. Public Safety Vallone have to say about this beyond he should be the next DA or Beep?

Don't worry, Chief Tuler has the solution; force the remaining cops in this city to write more moving summonses.

The NYPD fights numbers,not crime.Bratton must be laughing his ass off.If kelly had the balls(and smarts) Bratton,he'd never have let bloomberg shrink the nypd and force out cops with experience.Over 60% of the cops on the job today started after 9/11/01.......

It is time for Bloomberg to clean house in 1PP, from Kelly on down. New blood, new ideas etc. As a matter of fact, send Bloomie packing as well.

NYPD = the biggest morons on the face of the earth. Add that with criminal heaven/crime capital of the world aka New York City and this is the result.

There was a similar pattern across all NYC civil service categories.

A lot of the "Boys from Suffolk and Putnam" decided that New York City was going to be a repeated target after 9-11 and put in their papers.

Such brave fellows.

---------------------------------
Actually, alot of guys from the five boroughs did as well. And alot of those Suffolk and Putnam Boys were originally from city neighborhoods. And the real reason they left after 9/11 was because they had their 20 or more on, they saw the way the department and the city was heading and they didn't like what they saw. Did any of us, back then? With the endless overtime that was mandatory after 9/11, their pension numbers were just too good to pass up, and they took the opportunity that would have been too good for any of us would have taken.
