Since the move to defund the police by the LEFT mob, there has been an increase in crime all over NYC. The police association said that De Blasio was lying and public safety is at stake.
Despite concern for public safety, NYPD unions are unfairly criticized by NYC leaders for the crime wave recently. Even saying policies that added criminality is the fault of police unions.
One more tweet by the Sergeants Benevolent Association asked a question, in relation to De Blasio's idea of using social workers to deal with violent and unbalance individuals. They wrote if any social worker would dare talk to such a person.
A week ago, Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a new edict that police will be excluded in dealing with dangerous areas. Instead, it will be EMTs and social workers who will deal with potentially violent individuals. Instead of handcuffing or arresting the potential criminal will be asked what is troubling them.
The man shooting flames with a flamethrower was as dangerous and the SBA questioning it even happened, is a hard pill.
