You made the laws! You defunded the NYPD! How dare you blame police officers for the violence on the streets? You and Eric “Fireworks” Adams’ investigation will find out very quickly that you set the tone for community members to be shot. Own it @RitchieTorres and @BKBoroHall!
The summertime surge in shootings has all but doubled in NYC. Fewer gun arrests, fewer gun cases solved, slower response times to gun violence: are these signs of an @NYPDnews slowdown? @BKBoroHall
& I are calling for an independent investigation to answer that very question.

Two unfortunate common themes in #NewYorkCity these days... innocent bystanders shot and a lack of consequences for shooters. The current state of the criminal justice system does absolutely nothing to protect good citizens and crime victims.

Police Officer Jason Rivera died a hero, but more importantly, he lived a hero. We’re proud to stand with our @NYCPBA brothers and sisters to honor Jason’s sacrifice.

When no one is held accountable and our politicians and media try to label riots mostly peaceful, this is what you get at Union Square. Officers and civilians injured and property damaged. Laws were broken, there must be consequences. #NYC #UnionSquare dropbox.com/s/7yd2m311ygh6z5…

17 people have been shot since yesterday. Politicians distract and point to the supply of guns via the Iron Pipeline. The solution is to address the demand. There must be consequences for gun possession. Incarceration works. Suspects roam free while victims suffer. #NYC

Please take 3:20 of your day to watch this video. You’re going to see a violent gun offender try to murder a lieutenant and his officers. This is a direct result of Bail Reform, Raise the Age, the Diaphragm Law, and DAs abdicating their sworn duties to prosecute all crimes. #NYC
Last night, officers from the @NYPD42Pct were on patrol when they spotted an individual with a firearm. A fierce struggle for the gun ensued, leading to a lieutenant being shot in the ankle. The officers did not return fire as they made the arrest & recovered the loaded gun.

Freed without bail to continue victimizing New Yorkers, including those sworn to protect. Thanks to judge Denise Johnson.
The suspect had recently been arrested in North Carolina & brought back to NYC for a prior shooting, but was released without bail. He was caught after today's incident on Long Island with the help of @SCPDHq, & faces charges for assaulting an officer.

Despite one newspaper's account, our officers who came to the assistance of an 11-year-old girl being assaulted in Harlem on Sunday did not stand by. They were met by a large crowd that hurled projectiles at them and had to reposition, then called for additional officers.

This is a great example of the lawless #NYC created by the @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil! Things like this don’t happen to them at work so they don’t care. We need elected officials who stand for law and order and advocate for crime victims.
Early this morning, officers from the @NYPD71Pct conducted a car stop. During their investigation, officers determined the driver was not fit to drive and asked him to step out of the vehicle. That's when he put the car in reverse, running over the lieutenant.
