    166% spike in shootings in August in NYC from last year..

    Oh hum, what's new.....Just another Dem run city...also murders went up 34% in the first eight months of 2020

    New York City Police Commissioner blames a $1 billion cut to the NYPD's budget for recent surge in crime that has seen a 166% spike in shootings from last year

    NYPD commissioner Dermot Shea said the $1b policing budget cuts has had a 'significant impact' on the crime surge over the summer

    The cuts, which were voted on by the NYC Council in July, resulted in policing funds being reallocated to education and social services over the next year

    Shea said the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the court system and legislative factors had also played a role in surging crime rates

    New York City saw a 166% spike in shootings in August compared to the same time last year, according to NYPD crime statistics

    A one billion $ cut? How much was the budget in the first place? What comes after a trillion? I'm waiting to see that number thrown around.
    If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
