Democrats sure have a way of screwing a state/city/down up.
Bernie Kerick for Mayor of N.Y. He will clean it up the Rudy Gulliani way.
None of this makes sense, violent crimes are not included in bail reform. NYPD is just crying that they actually have to do some real work and gather real evidence to convict actually guilty people and not maybe guilty people.
Major crimes grew 22.5% yet rape and murder are down 20%? So whats a major crime? If petty theft ie the new burglary is considered a major crime whats murder and rape considered - super major crimes? Major major crimes? Very major crimes?
