Uhh a former cop was elected mayor. Pretty sure his background was a big part of that.

Electing some Trump anti abortion asshole is not going to help, assuming that’s what you want.

This whole sub is being astroturfed on crime and similar topics to push right wing ideology. It’s documented and organized. Hard to combat when mods let it run rampant.

This sub is overrun with transplants who don't give a flying fuck about new york and call anyone who has been here the whole time with a different viewpoint a bot.

NYC mayor doesn't control the judicial system which is what he has been lamenting about. Cops can only arrest someone so many times but if they keep getting out due to no bail reform, it's pointless. One guy was arrested over 80 times since the bail reform was passed. Only the governor can pressure the legislators to fix that.

But bail reform is irrelevant. If they’re guilty of the crime and the punishment is jail time, then they should be convicted and go to jail.

If they’re eligible for bail, the legal system already allowed them to be free again after being arrested. Maybe you guys should be fighting for increased punishment or less accused crime types being eligible for bail?

Although it’s crazy that the party that is supposedly so concerned with government overstep and strict interpretation of the constitution also wants to make it as easy as possible to lockup people without a trial.
