T**********e 发帖数: 29576 | 1 Why Black New Yorkers Like Me Are Celebrating the NYPD Work Slowdown
or the second consecutive week, New York City police have virtually ceased
writing tickets and arresting people for many nonviolent crimes, on the
order of a 90 percent drop from a year earlier. After perceived slights by
Mayor Bill de Blasio, civil protests against police brutality, and the
murder of two officers by a deranged gunman, the New York Police Department
is fighting back by not doing its job. Or rather, police appear to be using
their resentment as an organizing incentive to skip certain non-essential
cop duties.
The police seem to be trying to teach a lesson to a city they feel doesn't
adequately appreciate them. For New Yorkers who value fair policing, though,
the slowdown is an occasion to celebrate.
Many of the offenses police have tacitly declared legal are considered
quality-of-life (QOL) infractions. Those follow the broken window strategy,
a policing philosophy that has been widely discredited since its heyday in
Rudy Giuliani's mayoralty. QOL meets small transgressions with arrests and
fines—a way, it's thought, to nip more substantial crimes in the bud.
Perhaps because QOL policing grants cops near-unlimited discretion in
determining whom to sanction, its penalties fall disproportionately on
people of color. Between 2001 and 2013, the New York Daily News found, more
than 80 percent of the 7.3 million people penalized for these infractions
were black or Latino. The vast majority of African Americans and Latinos in
all walks of life feel like they're treated unfairly by law enforcement, and
consider police discrimination the most endemic form of societal
mistreatment. It's unfair, brutal, racist, and financially burdensome, and
it often follows such small transgressions as jaywalking, skipping $2.50
subway fares or merely irritating police.

that NYC police are too terrified to carry out their duties
effective.
While citations over QOL infractions dropped 90%, as the above
author celebrated, as the broken window effect dictates,
victims and murders and victims of gun crimes doubled in the
last 28 days of 2014, despite a year to year decrease of
violent crimes. With no surprise, the great majority of those
victims are either blacks or supporters of the current mayor.
If the current trend continues as the above author celebrates,
soon enough, there would not not much blacks or supports of
major de Blasio left in NYC. | a***e 发帖数: 27968 | 3 纽约警察只需要各大杂志社附近消极一下就成
