Today start’s Day 1 of @NYCMayor’s plan for the Subway #NYC

nypost.com/2022/02/21/nyc… 1/?
Here is what we should see go along with cops and social workers:
Each station they are clearing, should have an ambulance, triage bus, a representative for the @NYCDHS. This way, those that need immediate medical attention get it. The DHS can place the person in a shelter

One thing I’ve noticed about the, “It’s [crime] not as bad as it was in the 1990s” crowd is: they actually never lived through it. They either weren’t born yet, just a baby, or moved to #NYC in 2010 as a urban pioneer. For those of us that did, we never want to see that again. If you base your entire perception on what is happening right now on statistics and not experiences, I have news for you, the same conversations were happening in the 1970s. As the famous quote goes, “If you don’t know your history, you’re doomed to repeat it.”

1) What’s happening with the surge in violent crime in NYC and elsewhere? “Criminologists” interviewed by CNN can’t quite put a finger on what’s causing it. As far as I’m concerned, you don’t need to be a PhD nor a slide rule to figure it out. 2) What we do need is honesty from anyone, especially academics when interviewed about the surge in violence. That honesty has to happen even if it goes against everything you’ve been taught and learned.
