[quote=Anonymous]“At what point will the police step back and say hey this is what you voted for?” Never. Ha, do you know any police? They are so hungry for power. NYPD did go on strike but it was a failure for them. I sympathize with your concerns because poverty=crime and if people don’t do something about poverty then crime will continue regardless, but the idea that harsh sentences and stronger police presence reduces crime isn’t necessarily true. Violent crimes went down when NYPD went on strike, and when we slap somebody with a felony, it makes it harder for them to get out of poverty. Recidivism rates are high. I don’t know exactly how these laws are impacting crime rates but the way we do things now is wrong. [/quote]
