The New York Post: on Crime


Andrew Giuliani: Curbing crime a top priority, no greater friend to police

Giuliani, citing an increase in shootings, said curbing crime will be a top priority. He said Cuomo and the Democrats have been more interested in helping defendants by eliminating cash bail for many crimes. "This has to be something dealt with at the state level. The police are not getting protection from City Hall and Albany to do the job right. There will be no greater friend to the police than Andrew Giuliani," he said.

Max Rose: Opposed state reform of cash bail requirements

The package of criminal justice reforms ends cash-bail requirements for cases with non-violent offenses and requires prosecutors to turn over evidence in cases more quickly. "While we agree criminal justice reform has long been needed around the country, New York State's new soft-on-crime bail laws, which will let dangerous criminals roam free, endanger their victims, and hamstring the authorities who want to hold them accountable, this is not the answer," the lawmakers said in the letter.

Mike Bloomberg: I was wrong to rely on stop-and-frisk policing

Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg apologized for his administration's controversial reliance on stop-and-frisk policing in a speech at a Brooklyn church Sunday morning, saying, "I was wrong and I am sorry."

The stunning reversal comes as Bloomberg is expected to jump into the 2020 presidential race. "I got something important wrong. I got something really important wrong--stops on the black and Latino community," a contrite Bloomberg said as he addressed congregants at the Christian Cultural Center in East New York, one of the city's largest black churches. "I want you to know I realize back then I was wrong," he added. "And I am sorry."

Stop-and-frisk is one of the most controversial legacies of Bloomberg's twelve years in City Hall--struck down by a federal judge for its disproportionate effect on minority communities, but one Bloomberg continued to cling tightly to for years as he claimed credit of the city's sinking crime rates.
