You response did nothing of the kind because they stopped and crime went down you didn't and can't address it.

And Wow look at that keep deflecting the basic question you cannot answer. One day you'll realize your personal politics don't translate to convenient outcomes whenever you want. Bye sweet cheeks.

I literally never stated he was a good or model mayor in anyway. I asked a simple question you cannot answer: why did crime go down when he stopped doing the cop shit you are claiming makes crime go down.

To which you deflected to a bunch of horseshit about him as a mayor and not the specific policy and how it related to crime.

Noooo you mean Debumblio was also just another mayor who did whatever financial interests wanted him to nooooooo

Anyway, lol "defund the police" still running with this shit years later. He moved money from one cop department to another cop department. Bad faith horseshit as always.

The amount of Terry Stops plummeted and crime went down.

I have no idea what your problem with wanting to make Riker's not a hellscape where kids kill themselves waiting years for a stolen back-pack trial, but I guess that's your kinda thing!

Why did crime continue to go down under Communist Dictator Bill DeBozio's Pro-Crime regime of ending stop and frisk and curbing police goonery

Well... I mean to be fair subsidized New York orthodox Jewish schools do suck ass, but it is their culture. I wouldn't say, uh, terrorism is Muslim "culture" per se. I see what you were going for but you went a little hard in the paint there lol

... one of those "how have we not done that already" type of deals

It was really clear that DeBlasio was terrified of the police. They doxxed his daughter and he was probably legit scared for his life at some point.

Look pretty nice

It's sad how limited our civic imagination is these days. Because you're right, we should just nationalize the buildings and begin conversion right now. Instead, this will drag on for years, and years, and years.

But "this is expensive and hard and I am a landlord", a thing we are all aware of, is an interesting statement, which they've repeated many times.

And your defense of them is an interesting statement.

And you complaining about people not caring is an interesting statement.

Sure.

cry more

Yeah they weren't being killed in droves in a global plague until that year hope this helps

"popular" lol you absolute bozo.

Always awesome that someone wants to jumps in to repeat something from an article apropos of nothing to remind everyone that it was ok 1.1 million and counting Americans have died of covid because they were old and/or had conditions that make them morally expendable (to psychopaths).

Really important work. Thank you for your service.

Always awesome that every covid thread has the guy to jump in to remind everyone that it was ok 1.1 million and counting Americans have died of covid because they were old and/or had conditions that make them morally expendable (to psychopaths).

Really important work. Thank you for your service.

How many more 16-year-olds would you like to add to our world-leading prison population to feel safe?

Because it didn't do anything and crime continued to drop after stop and frisk was abandoned hope this helps

Which of Cuomo's criminal justice reforms makes it so that we have no federal gun control and it's incredibly easy to get guns across state lines

> Vote for me | give us more money

Copaganda at its finest. Since, very obviously, making public statements does nothing to actually solve this problem, the only reason to do it is to make voting populations scared enough to suck down whatever nonsense comes after, e.g. vote for me or the barbarians will rape and pillage your property or give us unlimited budget (and be nice to us) for tactical apache stealth helicopters or CVS will lock up all the deodorant

lol what the fuck do half these words mean man

Tale as old as time. Deliberately hamstring or destroy public services; say how bad the public services are; privatize the solution; never speak about how awful and bad the new service is because everyone ceases to care so long as it's not administered publicly.

It's wild how conservatives are correct, there is an enormous amount of waste in public spending. And then wildly incorrect about how it works. We've demolished actual public capacity to do anything, and offload everything to NGOs, non-profits, and for profit businesses.

Turns out, it's a lot more expensive to sub contract out every service imaginable than it is to simply build your own capacity to do things, something a government with as much money as New York can do very easily.

...Because that's what they did lol. You held onto a leather strap attached to the poles of the train decades ago. We still say "hang up the phone" and will use countless idioms long after their original meanings evaporate.

Feel free to quote where I said that! Because I didn't!

My entire point is that a better social safety net and better social services that have nothing to do with school would make for better school outcomes and allow schools to use resources on education and not the other things they have to by necessity because (unlike private schools) they actually have to serve poor communities.

Case in point, medicaid expansion reduced crime.

As for school itself, a system like Finland's where private school basically doesn't exist at all would also dramatically improve overall outcomes, but too many upper east side parents would get very upset if little Hayden IV had to go to a public school.

Literally nowhere in my comment did I say we need more money. I said we need better distribution of resources of all kinds.

I didn't say they were good services! Because they're not. Nothing not dedicated to the things it's supposed to do is going to be good. Tacking on these services ad hoc as societal structures collapse is exactly the problem.

Add my comment from the other place where this was posted:

When people question how high are costs are per pupil against other OECD countries, this is a real main driver of that. Yes, we do have waste and corruption, but our competitor nations aren't asking their schools to service homelessness, food insecurity, mental health, public safety, and the host of social services and public goods adequately provided and maintained by functional social safety nets.

We have three things are society is sort of willing to pay for: teachers, cops, and the military. So every societal problem has to be solved by those three institutions.

Not good!

> The fact that private special Ed institutions have superior outcomes is the clearest argument to overhaul NYs public special Ed program

Absolutely nothing further from the truth and a pretty ridiculous statement on its face. If you put lots of richer kids with more resources in one building, they will perform better. It is an argument for a better distribution of richer children and resources.

My public NYC high school graduated more nobel prize winners than most countries and certainly more than private schools in New York. Because it pulled from a huge population and aggregated the highest performing kids and gave them the best resources. It's not rocket science.
