The incredible chutzpah of Jumaane Williams’ complaint about an NYPD ‘slowdown’

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams last week wrote Police Commissioner Dermot Shea demanding answers about “rumors†that the NYPD “is taking part in a deliberate slowdown,†implying that this is the explanation for the “horrific rise in shootings across every borough.â€
What effing chutzpah.
Williams has devoted much of his career to handcuffing the NYPD. As a blistering critic of stop-and-frisk, he led the City Council to pass the Community Safety Act in 2013 over then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s veto, installing an Inspector General over the department and creating a “ban on racial profiling†— one in a long series of police “reforms,†all authored or backed by Williams, that leave officers second-guessing their every move, with ever-growing fears that their lives will be ruined simply because they did their jobs in a way that doesn’t meet standards that ignore street reality.
