NYC shootings shoot up dramatically after NYPD plainclothes unit cut

De Blasio's signature idiot stare

It seems that most leftists think people are stupid, including criminals. Somehow Mayor  comrade Bill de Blasio along with NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea thought it was a good idea to stop plainclothes policing and magically, crime would decrease. Somehow they supposedly believed that criminals wouldn't glom onto the notion that now would be a good time to do their criminal mischief.

Wrong, comrade idiot.

So far since Monday there have been 28 incidents and 38 victims officially reported. Last year at this time there were 12 shootings for the entire week, and there have been 97 shootings for the month compared to 89 last year at this same time.

A law enforcement official told the New York Post "This is what the  politicians [all Democrats] wanted — no bail, nobody in Rikers [prison], cops not arresting anyone. All those things equal people walking around on the street with guns, shooting each other.”

This recent increase in New York City's shooting spree came right after the NYPD said that they were stopping the use of plainclothes anti-crime unit cops, and would reassign the roughly 600 of them to other positions.

The public heard this, including the criminals still out in the public, and it gave them a license to go back to work. In some cases, it gave them a license to kill.

“When you look at the number of anti-crime officers that operate within New York City, and you look at a disproportionate, quite frankly, percentage of complaints and shootings — and they are doing exactly what was asked of them,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said. “It will be felt immediately throughout the five district attorney’s offices, it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect.”

Shea noted that the incredibly stupid decision came from him, and that he thought “it’s time to move forward and change how we police in this city,” he said, sounding like an Obama slogan quote that makes as much sense as eating to protest obesity.

Comrade de Blasio, being as clueless as a BLM protester toppling a statue of Ulysses S. Grant, described Shea's announcement as being “very powerful” during a press conference the following day.

“It’s permanent,” the Communist mayor said. “It’s a decision – look, Commissioner Shea and I have talked for a long time, literally for six and a half years about all the changes needed in this department and we’ve been steadily implementing them, and what we find is that these reforms work, they help us fight crime in a better way, and they bring community and police closer together.”

Yes, when criminals know that the only cops around are in uniform, they will not commit crimes in those areas. They will safely go where the only folks in regular street clothing are not law enforcement officers and enjoy their cop-free criminal activity.

“So, this is a permanent change,” de Blasio continued. “The personnel will be using new and different ways to fight crime more effectively and in a way that creates a better relationship with the community, and that’s the way forward for this city and for the NYPD.”

How any NYPD cop remains on the police force is beyond me. Reform can be both good or bad. But hope and change without thinking through the possible consequences, especially dangerous consequences, is too hopey and very dopey.
