NYC Police

Will wonders never cease? Al Sharpton says we should get tough on crime. Al Sharpton took a shot at progressive at a conference hosted by his National Action Network on Thursday, saying he's now in lockstep with Mayor Eric Adams on fighting big city crime. Anybody that tells you they're progressive but don't care about dealing with violent crimes are not , Sharpton said at the Sheraton New York hotel in Times Square. Progressive for who? As a first step New York City could add back the money they cut from the police and change the attitude of city officials toward police. In 2022, about 3,700 police left which was a 32% increase over last year. Only 2,000 new officers were hired.
