NYC shootings surge after NYPD's anti-crime unit disbanded

In one of the killings, a 35 year old man in Brooklyn was washing his car when an unknown assailant walked up behind and executed him.

In the photo of the 35 year old man in the link you gave, he is giving a gang hand symbol. Frankly, I don’t mind if gang members kill other gang members, so long as they don’t shoot non-members. But last week, wasn’t there a man in Ocala who was shot in the neck by a stray bullet while driving past a gun fight in progress? I would love for the police to protect everyone who wants to be protected, but what do you do if they don’t want to be protected? It’s a difficult situation. Do you give people what they want or what they need? And what if the people who wanted to defund the police then complain that they aren’t being protected? Life is rather confusing and difficult these days.
