De Blasio’s New York Murder Up 33%

This is the new condition New York City finds itself with a new mayor that promised to clamp down on stop and frisk.  It was cynical and naked pandering to the black and Latino community to garner votes to get him elected mayor. 
It didn’t matter that New York was the safest big city in the United States.  The tactic worked. 

However, de Blasio accomplished something else the corrupt media ignores.  By making the dismantling of stop and frisk such an integral part of his campaign, he sent a clear signal to the thugs of New York that they need not worry about carrying their guns in the streets of the Big Apple and after the first month of 2014 Murder is up 33%.  You got what you voted for New York, a white David Dinkins who is soft on crime.     

New York Post reports as his first month as police commissioner under Mayor de Blasio winds down, Bill Bratton is already facing some sobering news — a 33 percent spike in murders across the city.

According to the latest statistics released Tuesday, there have been 28 homicides so far this year compared to 21 in the same ­period last year.

That puts the city on course for at least one murder a day.

Last year, the Big Apple racked up 334 homicides in 365 days, the lowest in the city’s recorded history.

“I think Bratton needs to be concerned about the ­homicide numbers, but he’s a field commander at heart,” said a law-enforcement source. “If there’s something egregiously wrong, he will go straight to the source — the precinct or precincts that are problematic — and fix it right away.”

The source blamed de Blasio’s anti-stop-and-frisk push for the uptick in slayings.

“This is the residual effect of de Blasio’s backlash against stop-and-frisk,’’ the source said. “Cops aren’t stopping people and taking guns off the street, which emboldens the criminals,” the source said.
