Reply to comment by devolka in MTA report shows 16 percent drop in subway crimes since October 2022 by lifandigoosogn
Isn’t it because October is when the mayor and governor flooded the transit system with more cops?
devolka t1_j68iak8 wrote
They've been increasing cops all year with little result.

That was written a year ago. Here’s one yesterday from NYT. Stating that October is when they started sending more cops in transit.

Right... so he was lying in January but telling the truth now?
If subway crime has been up 40% this year why wait until October to bother adding cops if adding cops is your plan?
Why say you are adding cops in January and then not do it for 10 months?
Either he is grossly incompetent or he's a liar who doesn't believe what he says.
To paraphrase Robert Deniro in Casino. Either he's on thr take or stupid. Either way, he can't work here.

The cops are working 4 hours of overtime a day about 4-5 days a week. Idk how long it is sustainable

They are just millking the clock.

By “milking the clock” do you mean “mandatory overtime” because that’s what it is.
devolka t1_j69j2a5 wrote
Yes. That's what I mean. That's got to stop.

So less cops working to the order of 50%?
devolka t1_j69q0a3 wrote
I don't know what that means. I said no overtime. That's what I meant.

There's no winning with people like you. Getting rid of overtime means hiring more cops, which I'm sure you wouldn't like either.
devolka t1_j69wy66 wrote
Or it means giving cops less to do.
I like have every answer for you involves more cops. Aren't you paying attention? More cops doesn't reduce crime.
koreamax t1_j69xbo0 wrote
Dude, not everyone who disagrees with you is a bootlicker. Learn how to respond to people. Immediately assuming what I want makes for a bad argument. More cops seemed to reduce crime on subways
devolka t1_j6a6b27 wrote
I didn't didn't bring up bootleggers. You did. I was laughing at how you can't come up with a sutuin that doesn't involve more cops.
Lol. It's weird. You can only come up with one solution and ita the one we know doesn't work. Lol

Especially when they don’t do shit but lean against walls and play candy crush. Half of them are too fat to chase after anyone
Sickpup831 t1_j69ugvf wrote
I thought people didn’t want them chasing anyone.
Grass8989 t1_j6bjuju wrote
They just want to abolish the police there’s no nuance with these people. It’s “why don’t they do anything” and when they do it’s “why did they do that”.

It’s both. The mayor implemented increased supervision around this time AND the data chose a convenient start point to fit a narrative.
The real test will be comparing Oct 2021-2022 vs. Oct 2022-2023 a year from now

Correct. I cant remember if it was the end if October or the middle of November. But all precients have to send officers from each tour to cover the subway stations in their commands. People are easily hitting at least 40 hours of FORCED overtime a month. Who knows how long itll last but it is working. But forcing officers to work an 8 hour day on patrol, then do a footpost for hour, 5 days a week is not manageable or doable by most people. Especially with families
