NYC disbanded its anti-crime unit. Guess what happened next

Almost a week ago, following calls from the streets for police reform in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and his Police Chief responded by disbanding the city s more than 600-person plainclothes anti-crime unit. (Because your go-to move when facing a rolling series of riots and arson attacks is to dump your anti-crime unit.) That seemed to please at least some of the anti-cop activists and agitators while scaring the bejesus out of homeowners and small businesses. So how s that decision working out for them so far? According to the New York Post and some of the NYPD men and women in blue who haven t been canceled yet, pretty much as you probably would have predicted. Shootings and murders have shot up pun intended with violent crime rates more than double the same period last year.
