   Guess What? We Need More Police in Urban Neighborhoods, Arresting More People

Shootings and other crimes spike in the poorest neighborhoods when cops pull back.

New York City needs more arrests. More arrests in the subways. More arrests in housing projects. More drug arrests. More arrests of gang members.

And it isn’t alone.

If there’s one lesson from the unrest and anti-police agitation in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, it’s that poor minorities living in distressed neighborhoods pay the highest price — in fear and in blood — when the cops retreat and the worst elements feel emboldened.

The spikes in shootings in cities around the country haven’t taken place in high-end neighborhoods, not in Billionaire’s Row in Manhattan, not in Buckhead in Atlanta, not in Forest Glen in Chicago.

Of course.
This goes without saying.

More police on the streets (particularly in the poorer areas) are what brought about New York's "renaissance" under Rudy Giuliani in the late 1990's.

Remove them... and we see what is happening now.
