Default Shootings surge in NYC amid disbanding of NYPD’s plainclothes anti-crime unit

Shootings are surging this week in New York City, with 28 incidents and 38 victims reported since Monday — the day the NYPD disbanded its plainclothes anti-crime unit.

By comparison, the same week last year there were only 12 shootings for the entire week.

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.

Sad, but predictable...what were they thinking would happen

well, more and more people and businesses will be fleeing from the big cities, leaving those big city officials scratching their heads as they watch their tax revenue declining and their drastically underfunded city pension plans getting worse.

do you spell default in upper or lower case?

It is just so hard to believe how stupid these officials/politicians are. I can't believe what is happening in this country. What the hell is going on? Who the hell are these crazy people? I am saddened and fearful.

Yes, they're free to criminals - they just simply steal them. Others have to buy them. However,concealed carry permits are almost impossible to get for any law abiding citizen. Notwithstanding, if you're a celebrity, politician or wealthy individual you can always hire armed protection.

The guy washing his car had no chance even if he was packing a gun, he was washing his wheels when the guy just walked up behind him and shot him in the head. Video at second link above if you care to watch.

This should be of no surprise to anyone. Look what happened in Baltimore after the Freddie Gray incident. The police backed off and homicides soared. The same will happen in every big city that tries to demonize their police force.

Maybe they have decided there is a "new norm" for unpoliced era murders and assaults.

Most certainly they know that eliminating law enforcement will ONLY embolden the criminal element resulting in increased crime, physical harm and death.

Wouldn't they?

To appease the crowd and the politics they have knowingly traded off law and order for increased violence and murder.

This should scare the living crap out of the average law abiding citizen(s).

The entire issue could have easily been dealt with by stating acceptable rules of engagement.

The law and order abiding majority need to make their wishes known across the country before it becomes too late.

Think the city govt would have some idea that pandering to this minority will cause them to have to find a new way to earn a living after this November.

Soon NYC officials will be crying because their tourism and conventions have not returned.

Here's my reaction;....It appears governors have better common sense than mayors....

We have some mighty odd ducks for mayors around this country.
