What part of NYC does Mr. Squire live in? How about we dump him into the Bronx or Bedfors-Stuy? Here's a deal Mr. Squire. When the violent crime rate goes up in minority dominated areas do not write an article complaining because of racism the NYPD does not protect minority communities or some BS about Black Lives Matter. You want soft policing then live with the results. Mr. Squire I would recommend leisure suits and bell bottom jeans as you will now experience life in NYC during the 1970s.

It’s all fun and games to Mr. Squire until somebody keys his BMW. Then he’ll support the death penalty for the perpetrators.

>>”Many of the offenses police have tacitly declared legal are considered quality-of-life (QOL) infractions. Those follow the broken window strategy, a policing philosophy that has been widely discredited since its heyday in Rudy Giuliani’s mayoralty.”<<
It has? Not to my knowledge and the author, while linking many other passages does not do so with this bald assertion/lie.

The police seem to be trying to teach a lesson to a city they feel doesn't adequately appreciate them. For New Yorkers who value fair policing, though, the slowdown is an occasion to celebrate.If the slowdown is in writing tickets for things like 32 oz sodas or $5.00 cigarette taxes then fine. That will hurt the liberal city government in the pocketbook. But, be careful what you wish for.

I could envision where a police slowdown in some areas - especially in enforcing rules associated with infractions of behavior modification laws, and taxes.
The real thing I’m wondering here, however, is what in the hell did this guy do for his parents to name him “Aurin Squire.” If that ain’t asking to get beat up, I don’t know what is.

If the slowdown is in writing tickets for 32 oz sodas of $5 cigarettes, then fine.Excellent point. This whole mess never would've happened if DiBlasio and his henchmen didn't have police doing the tax man's job.

New York is getting the policing they voted for when they elected de Blasio. Those that didn’t vote also got what they voted for in absentia when they stayed home and let the radicals rule the day.

Seems these people who are so underprivileged, always have the money to buy them some booze. The lists this author posts are offenses,and yet he feels they should be given a pass just because they are blacks committing them. This is the real reason they don’t want policing - they want to commit crimes and not be punished. Cry me a river!

I’ll take Bed-Sty for 400, Alex.

Will you be celebrating the skyrocketing murder rate as well,Aurin? Of course you understand that in NYC,and elsewhere,blacks are *victims* of crime to a degree that's wildly out of proportion to their percentage of the population.

Of course when he inevitably gets mugged, he’ll whine that the NYPD is racist because they wouldn’t come to the aid of a black man.

I hope Rudy will be around to make subtle...or not so subtle...comments regarding the NYC crime rate in the next few years.

The real thing Im wondering here, however, is what in the hell did this guy do for his parents to name him Aurin Squire. If that aint asking to get beat up, I dont know what is. My newest great grand son is named Nikolai. I was hoping that at least they would call him Nick but no, they call him Nikolai. Just what I needed, a Russian great grand son, who is going to get beat up in pre school because of his name.
An acquaintance has a daughter and named her nevaeH. That's not a typo, the upper case letter "H" is at the end of her name and the first letter "e" is lower case on her birth certificate.

Who knows, maybe New York City is a powder keg waiting to explode and a large police presence is needed in New York City - maybe it is not and the NY Cops are just another big, expensive government agency that needs to justify its size
I’d like to see this experiment go on for 1 year or more - see what happens (oh, and I don’t live in NYC!)

He could at least claim some affinity/connection to Tesla - or that new fangled expensive electric car or something.
Then again, there’s something to be said for the witticism of reversed names, too. :0)

Mr. Squire hasn’t been mugged yet.

I say lets try reducing police presence for a while and see what happens.

And where does this happen? In cities run by Demonrats. Blacks should get a clue. Demonrats use them and abuse them and still 90 percent of blacks vote for them.
