restore criminal justice in new york city. bill: you heard with the d.a. in la and you wonder if the new d.a. in new york will do something people. there are bad people in our society and need to be separated from the rest of us. you describe a very small percentage, right? sure. we know the manhattan institute is going come out with a study this month that shows that 1% of the blocks in new york city account for 25% of the crime. and i think 5% of the blocks account for 50% of the crime. so we really do have ways to identify where this is going the happen, who the people likely are. and we do have the resources and expertise to go after them. politicians made the decision to dismantle units like the anti-crime teams who were actually going out there, performing aggressive and proactive policing and lowering the crime numbers. the police department didn t of themselves come up one day and do that. they were pushed by progressive policymakers who now run new york state.
