On the subject of safer mass transit, we’ll take what we are able to get (as will Mayor Eric Adams). However it’s not possible to see Gov. Kathy Hochul’s provide of some taxpayer money to help extra subway-cop patrols as something however a panicked gesture.
And panic within the face not of the rising violence underground, however of Lee Zeldin’s surging ballot numbers.
As Nicole Gelinas notes, the brand new patrols rely on added additional time, which is nothing like a lasting resolution. Cops, like anybody else, can solely achieve this a lot OT earlier than they’re exhausted — and town was already anticipating to do 61% extra street-cop OT than initially budgeted.
Plus, NYPD retirements/resignations are on tempo to exceed 4,000 this 12 months, the very best since post-9/11. Due to no-bail and different “criminal-justice reforms” that Hochul continues to defend and even prolong, plus received’t-do-their-jobs DAs like Alvin Bragg (whom she refuses to fireplace), police morale is thru the ground.
Meaning fewer cops, particularly fewer skilled ones — yielding a pressure that’s much less efficient and extra liable to make errors that the anti-cop fanatics will seize on to additional undermine public security.
In the meantime, lastly getting off her “abortion abortion abortion” obsession, the panicked gov simply dropped a brand new advert on crime, along with her vowing, “You should really feel secure, and as your governor, I received’t cease working till you do.”
Nicely, no less than till Election Day, when she’ll be again to blaming judges and saying she “wants extra information.”
Don’t be suckered. When you care about crime, vote Hochul out of workplace together with each different Democrat in your poll.
