Reply to comment by smg2720 in MTA report shows 16 percent drop in subway crimes since October 2022 by lifandigoosogn

Every cop murders people? This is a horrible generalization. If a New York resident murders someone, we can say all New Yorkers are murderers?

We live in an era with an incredibly high level of cops killing innocent civilians, or have you not been watching the news for the last couple of years? If I generalize so be it.

The NYPD have the least amount of police related shootings/killings of any major police dept in this country. Stop fear mongering.

Exactly. Thank you. And I’m not a cop but I’m a life long New Yorker who hates these silly fact-less arguments.

Point taken but I’m not fear mongering I’m responded to nationwide incidents that have rocked our nation, a long history of police brutality in NYC and elsewhere, and my lives experience.

No. We live in an era of cameras everywhere so police misconduct is sensationalized.

This is one of these silly statements that dominate rational discussion. For example, people, when surveyed, think the world is poorer now than 50 years ago, when actually poverty has been cut in half.

Just because the internet lets you see everything now, and everyone records everything, doesn’t mean that we live in an era of more police misconduct.
