Looks like De Stupido is going to take NYC back to the bad old days of the early 90’s when there were 2000 murders a year in NYC.
“I thought it was an unwinnable battle,” admitted current NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, who worked in the 75th Precinct and the neighboring — and equally dangerous — 73rd during the early ’90s. “We were taking guns off the street every night.”
But now, about a quarter-century later, the 75th has logged 11 homicides so far this year, or less than 10 percent of the 126 total it recorded for 1993, the first year for which the NYPD has precinct-level data.
And the entire city — which notched a modern-era record 2,245 murders in 1990 — had logged only 271 this year as of Dec. 12."
