(Old and Busted underscoring replaced with New Hot underscoring,BOB MCMANUS [in the New York Post/AHM]: The Shameful Betrayal of New York’s Finest. “... This is where things stand in soon-to-be post-de Blasio New York: Felony assault on a police officer is taken by prosecutors about as seriously as shoplifting or turnstile-jumping — petty offenses which also are ignored, but which don’t directly threaten the public order. At least in the short run.”This is the kind of legal environment that produces death squads, and public support for them. Luckily, the election of Eric Adams is likely to lead to change, though to be fair he doesn’t control the prosecutors.
for change in topic).
Nopey McNope - Adams will take the first-world sh¡thole he inherited from DeBlasio
and screw things up even worse.
A NYPD patrolman was shot in the head early New Year's Day:

NYPD cop shot in head while sleeping in his car
A NYPD officer woke up on Saturday morning to discover he took a bullet to the head after he was shot through his vehicle window while he was sleeping in between his shifts
This must have had the rank-and-file going ballistic with concern. Yet
the Daily Mail quotes the mayor and commissioner using the shooting as
an opportunity to tout gun control. The livid NYPD must know that
even stricter gun control would never keep them safe.
As I mentioned in EMail to Howie Carr yesterday, the problem isn't that
the mayor and the commissioner are gun-grabbers. The problem is that at
a time when the cops are on edge about their safety, the mayor BSed them
to try and gain a political edge.
If they didn't know it before, the cops must now know that the Adams is
yet another feckless clown who will never roll back the chaos in the
way that Bratton and Giuliani have been credited.
The only subtle aspect to this is that the mayor and police commissioner
could be laying down a rhetorical marker in case The Supremes null out
NY gun laws this spring.
