What these neighborhoods really need is a “Squad” car.
Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows.
The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period.
Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft.
The 115th Precinct, which also serves part of Roosevelt Avenue in addition to Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, and north Corona, saw major offenses rise by 85%.
The other four precincts in her Queens-Bronx congressional district similarly saw major-crime increases higher than the citywide average.
Some residents blamed the increasingly lawlessness squarely on the no-show lawmaker.
“She’s not doing s–t. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” vented Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, who has lived in the 110th Precinct her whole life and is one of several constituents who ripped the jet-setting absentee “Squad” member for letting the district turn to “trash” while she focuses on elevating herself on the national stage.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Do Jasmine Crockett’s next 🙄
Fame and fortune await AOC. She has no intention of looking back.
Since the locals no longer want the police around, the police are going where they are wanted, that being the lower half of Manhattan, where businesses, some very high paying, still appreciate police protection. Sorry rest of NYC, but you are getting what you demanded.
She should run for sheriff.
Burn the world to the ground and rule the ashes.
what do reps have to do with local crime in their district?
Increasing crime is her intention.

A Cloward-AOC-Priven success story.
. steal, kill, destroy the DNC/Satan moto
Meanwhile, Denver’s homicide rate is DOWN 60% YTD!
She’s not smart enough to know. Like Sen. Kennedy pointed out: “AOC is the reason shampoo bottles have instructions.”
“She’s not doing s–t. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,”
No no no, it’s Trump’s fault! Get with the program if you want to keep your obamaphone.
For democrats, it’s a feature, not a bug.
Crime is UNDERREPORTED in every deep blue urban s***thole.
If FIB has anything to with it they have been cooking the numbers for decades.
I hear that FIB has a new sheriff.
That said I don’t see him filling up many jail cells yet.
It’s not crime in AOC’s books.
It is reparations!
She has been “running a game” on those people since she got in office. New Yorkers used to be smarter.
Good point. She’s a federal politician. The state and city people are the ones that control the police.
A couple years back someone from her district was complaining about their streets being in such poor condition and blamed it on AOC. Again, AOC has nothing to do with street maintenance.
But she is a die hard lefty in favor of getting rid of the cops, so she is somewhat to blame as the local politicians are just following her lead.
AOC is the DNC’s sweetheart, she will be reelected or go to a higher office. She’s an idiot, but not to the extent of Hogg who pisses everyone off.
She should run for Mayor.
‘She doesn’t care’
/echo
Besides, what difference does it make. Her district will either elect her again, or another nut job.
