Better to be robbed and raped by a minority, than to be judged by a caucasion.
Who's running that city anyway? Probably a bunch of white, male, right-wing wacko, Sarah Palin worshippin', Bible-thumpin' Dittoheads.
Every generation an idiot arises and tells people the way that worked didn’t work.
The author of the article seems to be confusing two different policies: “broken windows” and “stop and frisk”. The “broken windows” policy has been extremely successful since the Guliani days, from what I understand, but “stop and frisk” sounds blatantly unconstitutional. Unless the police have probable cause or a warrant, stopping someone on the street (who is not on probation or some other such special condition) to frisk them is police state type stuff. It may work, but the trade-off is not worth it.
- Back to NYC Mayor Davy Dinky’s 2200 murders in NYC a year...
There is a silver lining to this train of thought. Just think of the exciting movies from the 70’s that featured NYC, like Taxi Driver, Death Wish, etc. We could be looking at some more contemporary action thrillers from the Big Apple in the next 10 years. On a more selfish side, I’m thinking of the increase in my property value a few miles to the west of the Hudson River. When the Bronx is Burning returns, the hipsters will be fleeing in droves, thus driving up demand for housing in the suburbs. I could see my split level reach seven figures if DeBlasio runs the place into the ground. What Lindsey and Beame did for my parents, DeBlasio could do for me.
They've arrested the guy who shot the video.
The CUNY Prof who wrote this flippantly refers to the theory of broken windows as no more than some 5 page essay in the Atlantic. Just so happens that essay was written by James Q Wilson whose knowledge and understanding of modern policing is the foundation for most all of the strategy and tactics of the modern urban force. And he claims there is no evidence that broken windows is responsible for the remarkable decrease in NYC crime, yet he provides no alternate explanation.
How many of this group actually go to work every day?
Good response to this opinion piece by Michael Jenkins in the same issue of the Daily News.
Broken windows doesn’t subject anybody to harassment. Broken windows don’t ignore the small crimes that stack up and lead to a lawless area. Now dickhead cops could be using broken windows as their excuse, but that’s the theory’s fault.
his crime wasn’t selling cigarettes...it was resisting arrest and endagering police officers.
Two cops screw up an arrest by using an illegal restraining method and that means the broken windows theory is broken? That’s pretty stupid (liberal) reasoning. On one hand they credit broken windows for restoring order and making NY livable again but then argue that it is broken. Libs take what is proven to work and throw it out for something that is proven NOT to work.
