Quote from link:

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday once again decried Gotham’s gun violence epidemic without offering any concrete solutions — while doubling down on the department’s decision to disband its gun-hunting anti-crime unit — during another press conference attended by no members of NYPD brass.
​

he is combating gun violence by disbanding the gun hunting and anti crime unit.

Brilliant.

De Blasio cries out in pain as he harms the people of his city...

The Truth About New York’s Rising Murder Numbers
Murders rose in 2019 for the first time in three years, yet they are still extremely low compared with past eras, and reports of other violent crimes crept up only slightly or declined.

Crime in New York City fell even as the policing tactic was abandoned.
Like many conservatives, I had grave concerns about curtailing the New York City police department’s controversial tactic of stopping and frisking potential suspects for weapons. I was inclined to defer to the police when they protested that they needed the option to stop, question, and frisk New Yorkers on a mere reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing instead of probable cause that the targeted person had committed a crime. Restricting the tactic, I thought, would cause an uptick, maybe even a spike, in crime rates. Mayor Bill de Blasio, who made ending stop-and-frisk the centerpiece of his successful 2013 campaign for mayor, struck me as a man who was cynically willing to tolerate an increase in crime if he thought it to his political advantage to amplify leftist voters’ core belief that policing was out of control.


Today in New York City, use of stop-and-frisk, which the department justified via the 1968 Terry v. Ohio Supreme Court ruling, has crashed. Yet the statistics are clear: Crime is lower than ever. It’s possible that crime would be even lower had stop-and-frisk been retained, but that’s moving the goalposts. I and others argued that crime would rise. Instead, it fell. We were wrong.

I expect it to get much worse until the police are given the respect they deserve.

Respect is earned, not commanded.

I won't put up with a police officer who behaves like an obnoxious jerk toward me or toward anyone else I know. All that gets the officer is me filing a disgruntled complaint against them to their superior officers. The officer gets a dressing down by their superior officer(s) and I get an official apology. I've filed complaints against belligerent officers before and I won't hesitate to do it again if necessary.

The video I'm sharing was sent to me by a friend and it offers one of the best explanations on the subject of people mistrusting and turning against the police. I recommend watching the entire video.

Video summary:

Recent protests and riots have made one thing abundantly clear: Some people hate police officers. Why do some people become enraged at an entire police force and the entire criminal justice system when a particular officer kills someone? Why are some people so angry that they want to defund the police or abolish police entirely? David Wood (an ex-con) discusses various examples of misconduct by police officers and correctional officers, and the impact these encounters have on suspects, inmates, and entire communities. He concludes with some suggestions for police reform.
