No sympathy at all here. Just the jump to blame the no cash bail reform (which was needed for a horribly broken system), rather than the other parts of the broken system that needs to be fixed elicits a big old 
I largely agree, but I think they could be implementing it better from some of the stuff weāve seen.
And in Albany and Troy, weāve pretty much had daily shootings for the last week. One apparent walk up head shot assassination.

Big surge in murders last year, but as Iāve said, no corresponding increase in violent crime, no difference in cities where budgets were cut or not, no increases in other countries (slight upticks in Canada and Germany, but not anywhere near US levels).
If cops are afraid/protesting BLM. why the increase in murders but not violent crime?
Again, same with massive increase in gun sales- higher murders, but no increase in violence.
Itās weird.
As for crimes by police, itās terrible, but you have to remember the number of guns on the street. Every time a cop makes a stop s/he could be in an armed confrontation. That doesnāt happen in other developed countries.
I dont get this. Murder IS violent crime is it not?
Itās an extroverted suicide
Violent crime other than murder. Murder is only one category of violent crime. They also have separate numbers for rapes, muggings, robberies, assaults, violent car theftsā¦ Murder is often used in intercity, interstate and international comparisons because other crimes may be classified differently in different jurisdictions, but murder is fairly clear cut- you have a dead body.

Yeah, so thereās no win in the statement that while murders are up, violent crime isnāt. lol
Murders are way up. Violent crime other than murders are up only slightly, if at all. It doesnāt make sense because if thereās a lot of people shooting and killing each other, youād think some of them would miss- especially since thereās been a huge increase in first-time buyers.
Again, if somebody is knocking off a convenience store, jacking a car or mugging someone. youād expect to see soaring crime rates, not just murders. Guess theyāre not practising social distancing. Wide-spread masking allowing them to blend in?
What are you on about?
Violent crimes are way up but itās ok because itās only murders??

Apparently some people have trouble grasping the difference between murder in particular and violent crime in general . I would have thought it was fairly obvious, but apparently there are people for whom the whole concept is too deep.

The difference is very obvious but the point youāre making still isnāt, to me at least.
I think heās just pointing out itās weird and asking wtf (and certainly isnāt making any sort of so ā itās okā statement).

These lunatics have totally lost the plot. Crime is up everywhere but theyāre far from done torturing non-criminals, apparently. Thereās not a chance in hell I would vote for a Dem now, even a moderate like Eric Adams in NY.
