And this is the time that the radical Leftist Mayor Bill de Blasio chooses to defund the NYPD. Total madness. However, America’s worst mayor will NEVER resign. Only the citizens of New York City can ensure change, by voting the party of destruction (the Democrats) out of office in 2021.
New York City sees spike in murders and shootings amid George Floyd protests: Report
By Washington Examiner, June 8, 2020
Story continues below advertisementViolent crimes shot up in New York City last week as the city dealt with protests in response to George Floyd’s death in police custody.
Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that murders and shootings were much higher than what transpired in the same period last year.
The city saw 13 murders between June 1-7, with 40 reported shootings, the sources said. There were five murders and 24 shootings during the same time period in 2019.
Chicago police have reported similar spikes in murders and shootings compared with 2019. Shootings increased by 71% in May compared with the year before, with 409 people shot, and murders were up 60%, with 85 reported.
Protests, and in some cases riots, have spread across the country in nearly every major city as people decry police brutality following Floyd’s death.
Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died on Memorial Day after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes despite his pleas for air.
The officer, Derek Chauvin, was fired from the department and has been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The three other officers who were involved in detaining Floyd, who was suspected of using a fake $20 bill, were also fired and charged with aiding and abetting murder.
New York City saw some of the most violent protests, with officers attacked in some cases, including one who was struck by a hit-and-run driver, one who was beaten in the Bronx, and another who was “nearly killed” when a brick was thrown at him.
The New York City Police Department reported that hundreds of officers were injured during the protests. Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said hundreds more were planning to leave the force.
“You have some in the hospital. But there were over 300, 300 injuries. And the thing that scares me, judge, I’m hearing close to 600 cops have either put in their papers, or they’re talking to the department about resigning or retiring, like this is insane,” he told Fox News host and former Judge Jeanine Pirro over the weekend.

I feel like this is a bad dream.
Any comment from idiot, Governor Cuomo?
That you cannot wake up from.
AND IF 80% of murders are by blacks, and 80% of murder victims are black…
Then guess who mostly suffers from high murder rates? Black Lives Matter – only if they make good political footballs. Otherwise, not so much
How about Crime Prevention Matters
He has no room to talk!
They are trying to walk that back…..internal polling must have shown that wasn’t popular but don’t fool yourself. They want ICE, and police defunded and abolished with more sanctuary states, open borders, mass immigration, more Muslims, higher taxes, no deportations, and unemployment for government dependence.
Oooooooopsie, they elected a Communist and got what they asked for and deserve!
Treasonous and Communist
Democrats, Liberals and Leftists have been making mistakes for a thousand years, but the mistakes on a grand scale and in rapid succession that they are adamantly intent on making now — campaign spying, the coup, impeachment, Legislative refusal, election fraud, societal economic shutdown, George Floyd hysteria, Black Lives Matter, defund the police — are all existential threats to our Republic.
Yes, we need to re-elect Trump to survive.
First, we need to make it to November.
The George Floyd Funeral is the first State Funeral for someone nobody ever heard of.
This will forever be an embarrassment to everyone, connected and not.
IMO, George Floyd was not a hero or a martyr. His unnecessary and hideous death was and is being used as an excuse for looting, destroying property, livelihoods, assaulting and murdering other innocent people. Other blacks they did the same to are just collateral damage to them. These violent people make a mockery of the justice they claim to represent with their actions. Their goal is to destroy and divide our country even more.
DEMS have nothing to campaign on. DEMS are no better than the violent protestors, The GOPe and RINOS have been doing that for decades through laws and policies. Trump has been exposing them for what they are. GWB and the Romney’s are in the open for what they are. They are so low, they are expected to endorse witless Biden over Trump.. They have no shame and evil to the core with a face of righteous piety no less.
.
GWB, Romney, the RINOS,and the Commiecrats serve a different master.
Shooting in NYC are up 75%! And that’s in a gun kontrol city.
AUS and the UK confiscated most all private firearms, how are their violent crime statistics post-gun-control?
Violent crimes in both places are the same as they were with guns because they NEVER solved the criminal problem!!!!
That’s because Real gun control like real socialism, hasn’t been tried yet. They will tell you it’s because of all those pesky pro-gun states like Indiana. They will tell you until we have the goon squad go door to door and either collect the guns or shoot the owners it will not change.
Defund the police who KNEEL TO THE CRIMINALS.
why would he resign? It’s a paycheck!
The ONLY reason DeBlazio ran for President was to keep the donor money when he had to “suspend” his ridiculous campaign.
It’s not a dream, it’s reality. We had better wake up or these Bolsheviks will take over our country. We need to start stripping traitors and agitators of their citizenship. This is on joke. We are fighting for the very life of this country from subversives and agitators hellbent on destroying us. The first thing is we need to take back our education system from these scum. We cannot allow them to continue poisoning our youth. We need a giant high colonic of the entire education system from nursery to academia. We need to flush out the Leftist feces and flush them down the toilet!
We also need to stop pandering to the “impoverished” in inner cities. School choice needs to be available to ALL who pay taxes. Why should other economic groups be held hostage to failing public schools and stuck with the tax bill to fund it?
I am referring specifically to NJ. In NJ we have something called the Abbots formula. This forces other areas outside the inner city to be fleeced of our tax dollars to the public school system in inner cities and less to our own. It’s another way of money wasted and keeping other families who can’t afford to take their kids out of the public school system held hostage to it. You don’t have to be impoverished o want a better education for your kids.
The inner city kids are scoring worse than ever even with lower standards and know less than ever with the because of the low quality of Common Core. They are graduating imbeciles in inner cities and beyond them with this liberal, indoctrination, propaganda driven curriculum.
People who live in New York are fools. Glad I’ve never been there. Love my mountains no China Virus, No Antifa, no BLM, billions in gold.
The obvious answer here is to de-fund the police, yea, that will solve the murder problem.
Couldn’t happen to a better place. NYC and their communist mayor and Communist Gov. deserve everything they get.
Honestly..are Dumb and Dumber that DUMB?
More of the beervirus???
Something I have been thinking about recently, and depends on what you believe I guess, not going to go back and forth with anyone about this, just going to put my 2 cents in and call it good.
We have had nearly 4 years at this point under Trump, and we due to this have been able to see just how corrupt our government has become, how evil the Deep State corruption has gone, and how this country can be turned around if we really want it to be turned around. We can have jobs, prosperity, we can get the global economy back on track, maybe, MAYBE even still can, if we make the right choices, but we need to make them this next election cycle, period.
I really think we are being given a choice here. I personally believe what we are seeing is a physical manifestation of a spiritual warfare that’s going on, and we had best make the right choice. It’s like whats in this article…people can continue to vote for the very same people that got them into this mess, and let it all turn to total shyte, or they can vote conservative, and hope and pray that we can turn it around, and with some luck, after Trump, we can get someone in office that can continue the work, as it can’t stop with just one man, or it will be all for nothing.
If we choose as a country, by and large, by hook or crook (and crook it might well be) to go the wrong way, then we will destroy ourselves, and I’m going to go right out and say it…any hope that we might have had of having the blessing of God on this country will be long gone. We will have made the wrong choice.
We have been given a choice in my opinion, seriously. We have had a light shone on our government, and we have been shown that we can have our country back, or we can let the enemy win, what do we want to do? Which way do we want to go? This is a fight, and for those of us that believe, we need to pray, and vote. Vote red like your country depends on it, as it does.
YES !
^^^^^THIS!!!^^^^^
BLACK PIGS MATTER :)))))
Shootings? That’s IMPOSSIBLE! NYC is a gun-free zone (sarc)
Democrat = garbage
The Commiecrat strongholds are dead economic corpses that cannot be revived. What we have witnessed for the past 10 days is the mass murder of America’s largest metropolises. It’s not just in NYC, it’s in all the Commiecrat controlled jurisdictions, and the increase in crime and murder is exponential and continues to grow as the lawless take over the cities and the police are attacked, murdered, and emasculated. A close friend sits on the board of a major insurance company and they reevaluating all of their insurance in every jurisdiction affected by the rioting. They are pulling out and with them will be the companies they insure. This will extend to vehicle and homeowners’ insurance, property, and contents insurance. It will all be pulled or re-offered at rates 2-4X more than before. What has occurred in the past ten days plus the pandemic is catastrophic especially for the large metro areas affected by this revolt. In November the voters of the USA will be given the choice of whether the rest of the nation is pulled into the same hellhole as NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta,L.A, and scores of other Commiecrat controlled areas. I pray they look to the examples before them and choose wisely.
The good people of NewYork City do not have to wait till 2021 to recall this communist slime ball. But be careful if you elect another communist you will get no sympathy
NYC/NY for that matter got what NY elected! Vote them out or leave and do not expect a lot of sympathy from those that told you so! NO BAILOUTS FOR THESE SOCIO-COMMUNIST LEFTIST SCUM! Mitch McConnell get a spine!
Damn…in a libturd controlled area that is gun free and all of this crime from the parasitic criminals. So only the criminals and cops have guns and when they bad the LEO only the criminals will have guns and it will be just like the warlords in the jungle fighting for power and control by killing everyone who disobeys their orders. Then you will see how many black lies murder care about blacks being killed by their bros.
