NYC has more empathy for the perpetrators then the victims.
It sure seems that way sometimes.
Until those perpetrators come for them, they they'll call the cops in under 3 seconds.
They don't even see the hypocrisy in this.
" Hello police!!! My chile is acting out ageeen!! He's a not washing dishes, doing tures,in no ways be paying rent. He's gotz a devil en im!! I need y'all come get im!! Ok I'll see u outside!bye!! "
" Damn stupid pig Babylon cops I hate the cops, AREN'T DEY DUE HERE YET???? SHEEEET. "
Every single time.
There lies the problem, New York occupants have their poles are crossed!
My state got rid of bail three years ago. Now we have people openly using drugs and openly shoplifting all the time. I don't go to stores that much but 25% of the time I run into a homeless man leaving with bags filled with items and security just watching in befuddlement. Cops don't even arrest people for shoplifting knowing they'll be released within a few hours.
Do the police know that people's criminal charges are not dismissed when they get released after arraignment? Not charging them at all seems petulant.
Blame the Democrats
Drugs are great 👍 👌
@Foster Twelvetrees it's everywhere. What I think Lambda is missing is that people don't usually stay in jail awaiting trial for misdemeanor charges like most shoplifting, so his description of the police refusing to arrest them because they'll be released makes no sense.
who cares
the lady at 21:05 just got done saying nobody on bail reoffends, then says anyone who can afford bail pays then reoffends. This cognitive dissonance and/or naiveté is so staggering. Everything about her body language and smarmy laughing reflects her insecurity with what she is saying, but she is so devoted to her ideology that she can't face logic.
Well said👍👍
She reminds me of the British pro-migration activist that got gang raped by illegal immigrants in the migrant camp in Sangatte, and didn't report it to the police to avoid stoking resentment against migrants. Some peoples' ideology is so strong it trumps EVERYTHING.
Facts, good catch.
She's a stank puss neeg lover beech!
I just hope she gets touched by the criminals that she is advocating for! Its all fun and games when these criminals touch other people and she shows up to advocate for criminals! Lets hope she gets a taste of her own medication!!
It's pathetic that these cops can't talk about the reason this has happened more directly. We have all but destroyed our ability to have a reasonable discussion.
They want to keep their pensions.
Like having the IDF train them?
And what is the real reason, my African American?
Because they cry at shout “cop hater” at any criticism. They’re parasites and a burden on people. It’s just another gang that people have to worry about since they enforce the edicts of the ruling class. This whole cop hatred narrative is a huge myth and lie.
@@tinypapertiger African Americans, obviously.
How can anyone think defunding the police will help? Crime will only get worse! 🤦🏼♂️
That's why Ang mohs are a bunch of criminals leh
It's getting crazy already
Because there all criminals or involved in it at least.
The left believe it and the democrat party is now the left.
I think that's the goal for the last guy! Lol. He didn't seem like he wanted them abolished for misguided altruistic reasons -quite the opposite.😆
These guys wanna get rid of police and then buy a gun to protect yourself...and their party wanna get rid of guns.😂. Idiocy
Yeah, those guys were chauvinistic cavemen.
That guy reminded me of "Idiocracy" the movie

@@Opeandaway I love that quote!
uh...thats more than half of this stupid country now.

The real problem is the mentality of most of these people. Most are liars first of all and the grown ups that believe that there should be no police are the real reason that crime is out of control. With leaders that believe in abolishing police how can the people have a chance. Embarrassing themselves with every word spoken.
cops watch.. driving around in cars, bicycles, or walking around waiting, watching and filming police interact with the criminal on the street.. not alerting the police or public about a possible crime but going after the cops... I see them in my neighborhood completely pathetic..

Unfortunately, some people don't realize they're the person people hear speak and question how they made it this far
Which one?
Typical leftist.
It just WASN'T real communism ! We need to try it again.
They typical leftist/communist mindset.
It always everyone else at fault. Never the leftist ideas.
I is a shame that Rudy Guliani is now considered such a joke these days considering how much he cleaned up the city during his tenure.

Crime was on the downtrend a good four years before Guliani. He just managed to turn Times Square into Disneyland. Yay.
He was the best mayor besides Koch this mayor call white cops crackers really
She said she doesn’t want to sound like a crazy hippy but she is. The minute they started letting out people out of Rikers, crime went through the roof. The community affected ARE the black and brown neighborhoods.
And that violent crime from "the black and brown neighborhoods" spills out into the other neighborhoods; mixed, Asian, affluent etc. #LibMentalDisorder
That's not the worst of it. They don't want them to face any punishment at all.
Because it's "unethical."
And then they expect us to just put-up with them. While they go back to their cushy little neighborhood.
"Brown", like Indian and South East Asian?
And she said that those incarcerated are the public. The reason why they are locked away from the public is because the public needs to be protected from them. They are not the public… once they pay their debts to society and return to society, then they become part of the public. How stupid are liberals?
Liberals and Democrats are PRO-CRIMINAL. Enuff said.

The guy at 25 minutes is such a hypocrite. He wants to abolish the police department and accuses them of heinous wrongdoing, yet with complete pride explains just how brutal his brand of vigilante justice is in regards to the mugger. So only him and his merry band of vigilantes are allowed to roll up on people and be judge, jury, and executioner......got it.

Yes. It is refreshing.
The Telegraph of course - a more right wing sensible way of looking at things. The Guardian would never run this story. Their angle would be police brutality and how awful it is that the police won't let all these poor innocent black criminals run around doing as they please.
Didn't realize NYC was going through all this..
The New Haven CT police chief was at a community meeting in one of the more dangerous neighborhoods and someone said they needed more police in the area. The Chief was somewhat surprised since for a while now people where just repeating that tag line of defunding the police and was happy that someone recognized the need for MORE police presence
CT is going to be exactly like NYC in no time. I have not left my house in Cheshire CT without my gun in over 2 years. Prior to that I never carried I just left my firearms at home.
@@Whalers860 Ppl either don't want to know (it puts neg light on their side), don't care or want devestation to cause K -oss
That's the thing most people don't realize, and this will be a very unpopular opinion. But in order to take for lack of a better word a blighted area. And to get businesses to come in and make investments in the area at the same time creating jobs. A city has to bring crime down in those areas first. And that is usually done most quickly and effectively by introducing a whole lot more cops to the area.
Honest and good people always appreciate the police. It's only feral criminals and white liberals- who secretly want to see poor people suffer, who hate the police.
I Think That Person Was Requesting More GOOD Police Not Bad.
Random dude: I feel scared on riding the subway, crime has definitely risen.
The same dude: yeah I agree with defunding the police.

Decent, unbiased Telegraph reporting? Slow down Telegraph, I might need to subscribe!! 😂
I know right? Honest serious news like this is hard to come by.
It is not that unbiased". The Telegraph has long supported conservative causes and talking points. Most of this is looking to place blame on the people seeking redress and public accountability from police forces for crime rising ( which has more to do with covid and economic issues ). Then not adequately reporting instances that caused grievances with police actions.

That guy brags about supposedly beating people that robbed elderly. I guess he gets to decide who is guilty and who isn't. Then he watches the police to make sure they're following the law?
The tribalism & balkanization of a society.
That cop watch crap is just pro crime, anti-police nonsense! That was the same guy who was trippin over the Rittenhouse verdict and Daniel Penny
Here's my question for the guy who won $900k from the city - when he and his buddies "take care of things" but it turns out to be an innocent person like he claims he was (not arguing, he won)... Who does that guy sue to win his $900k?!?
He's nothing more than a criminal keeping his eye on the police while his buddies commit more crimes.
Police are not perfect but there is a system of accountability. Good luck trying to sue vigilantes.
I like to think that the anti-cop/anti-justice side of this doesn't actually believe what they're saying. They're just angry or upset with how things are going and cling onto their ideology as an outlet. It's not about being right or kind, it's about defending an ideology. Deep down, I'm sure they know they're not right
Unfortunately, many of them are mentally ill. Berkeley CA is full of them...
I feel like the response to perceived police brutally was overly emotional and that got in the way of thinking logically about how to improve law enforcement. I believe the justice system now is even more broken than the one we had just a couple years ago before the BLM riots.
I think many of them absolutely do believe in what they are saying.
Police reform is needed though
Pigs protect property not people I don't know why people are so surprised they're not doing anything they never have? 🤔
@@smellthecoffee5314 That's what "defund the police" is about. But too many people don't know that because they don't bother to learn anything about something before they judge it. It's a terrible name for a good idea.
People and politicians like to say direct funding to mental health but won't actually support institutionalized housing. Letting them wander around the street is not compassion!
exactly! when we say "fund mental health" they hear "free drugs"...
no, we mean INSTITUTIONS...
Disabled people dont need your compassion. They have rights to not be falsely imprisoned for things they cannot control
@@MrKongatthegates And I don't have the right to walk on the street without being punched in the face or spit on by some schizophrenic? Not being able to control themselves, doesn't make them sympathetic, it makes them a danger to society.
@@MrKongatthegates ridiculous take this one. The ones that should end in a mental facility absolutely do need outside help. People with serious schizophrenia, or people who are completely socially incapable, or who suffer from substance abuse disorders will destroy themselves gruesomely if let be.
They are not supposed to be left wandering around the streets. People with mental health problems do better at a home setting whether with family or a small group home. However, the large institutions did nothing to help people with mental health issues or intellectual disabilities. The concept is okay, but large facilities with many patients end up being dumping grounds of little care, overcrowding, overworked staff, and squandered resources. Look into the history of Byberry State Hospital and Pennhurst State School and Hospital. Reading about them will change your mind about large institutions.
Finally, proper journalism.asking good questions.
This video is painful to watch and hard to get through. I grew up in the Twin Cities. We used to go to Minneapolis in the 80s and 90s and it was pretty dangerous. Then something happened. It got better. Crime went down. The downtown area was revitalized. Neighborhoods were improved and even the dangerous places got better. People even wanted to move there. I lived in downtown Minneapolis in the late 90s and I loved it. It was such a beautiful city. Then all of that went away in a few quick nights. Now I read about a new restaurant closing every day. They all have the same press release with tip toe wording about the current climate in the city forcing them to close. They no longer blame Covid. It is so sad what became of that city.
The problem is highlighted by the people in this interview who say 'I'm a victim of recent crime' and we must 'defund the police' in the same breath.
Not too surprising considering how blue MN is.
How many restaurants are there? Everyday? How long has this daily been happening?They all have press releases to explain why they closed?
@@stephenb7704 Yep, blue policies and a HUGE surge of Somali immigrants. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
Those who claims " I'm a victim of recent crime' and we must 'defund the police'" in the same breath are imbecile.
The same thing happened in the late 60's and 70's. The police became public enemy and the liberal media made folk heroes out of criminals, especially if they were from minority populations. Eventually we came to our senses but the now the pendulum is swinging again.

"I think it's more important to direct that funding to mental health" ah yes, how many times exactly have we heard stories of serial killers or murderers attending therapy, taking meds, and still hurting others? Please.
And how many potential serial killers etc have been prevented from doing anything due to well-resourced therapy and treatment? Police crackdowns are always risky as they risk creating or worsening alienation from the authorities. If a government's main priority is to use the police to control the population it is a cause for concern.
@@seanolaocha940 my guess is very few people are actually prevented from being victims by potential offenders. Locking up crazy people in the crazy house isn't therapy, it's just a nicer form of imprisonment. Which I favor over both regular jails and letting them loose.

Liberals took control and stopped prosecuting criminals. Barely even see the cops anymore.

Because NYC has lost so many shops moving out because of Looting and the personal random attack on citizen's of NYC, they are losing so many people moving out that their tax system is really suffering and they can not sustain their tax rolls. The out of town people coming to visit in NYC has diminished thus and crazy circle continues. If the city is not safe, people will not come, myself and family included.
Trust me. The city is still packed to the gills and vacancy rates are low. The reason there's less stores has more to do with insane rents and e-commerce than crime. Many businesses were also hit hard by COVID and never returned.

The restriction of firearm ownership, and carry, has fueled the crime rate in NYC more than anything. I live in a constitutional carry/stand your ground state. Criminals live in fear, not citizens. We have the right, and the means to protect ourselves, our families and our property with deadly force. Criminals around here think twice before confronting any citizen, because it could be their last confrontation.
They just changed the cc law too as well. It only took them getting sued and getting absolutely smacked down by the Supreme Court
@Phillis "Dick" Black It works just fine in Miami and other large red cities.
@Phillis "Dick" Black Conservatives straight up do not care about statistics, reality, or making things better.
Its always the people crying to defund the police who are the first to cry and call the police when something happens.
It's funny when he says that crime was the lowest in 2018. I lived and worked briefly in NYC during the summer of 2018 and I remember this time fondly. Whenever I hear my friends now that are still in the city complain about the conditions, I can't imagine it. But now I see why I feel that way,
I do wish you’d pressed that one officer on how upset he was that police now had to be more careful how they exercised violence lest they be sued. That was disturbing.
I’m completely ok with police abandoning “black and brown” neighborhoods. Let’s see how this plays out
I'm okay with them leaving liberal neighborhoods.
Well, Chicago had been running that experiment for a while, 50 dead on a hot sunny weekend is your answer. Almost entirely black on black killings, but with racially motivated attacks on Asians and Whites going undiscissed and the news of this, openly getting suppressed by the Left controlled media

🤔 wouldn't that just cause them to move to a more conservative area, keep voting the same way and eventually turn that area exactly into the area they left?
@@drfye I was referring to the police leaving liberal neighborhoods.
@@hellodarkness5644
ah, I see, Probably already happening.
I avoid crowds , which obviously includes Cities. Lots of people in a confined space isnt a good environment for anybody
Same here.
Same as that .
"I dont feel safe but yea lets defund the police" 🤪
Constitutional carry and no de facto automatic prosecution for self defense or defense of one's property (real or chattel). _Then_ I'll be happy to defund or abolish the police completely. I also guarantee the crime problem would be solved within a matter of weeks.
12:39 It's important for the British and non-American audience to remember in the US each party of a legal case pays for their own expenses. In the UK, my country and I believe most countries, on a legal case, the party that looses pays for the bill of both parties. In the US, a person can go bankrupt from a legal case expenses even if the person wins the case.
Wonder how many NYC cops moved to Florida?
No its that way in civil cases in the US (the losing party pays for the legal expenses). But criminal court - yeah the government is not paying. Well over 90% of criminal cases are plead out before trial.
@@SuperDrake85 that's true, they plead out. Cause and effect. And it's called justice. Go figure.
An important distinction. Thanks for pointing this out.
9:55 Behold, the archetypes voting for all of this
We must absolutely support our men and women in blue.
Except it's not just happening in NY. CA cities have gotten just as serious
NYC checking in. Biggest crime wave in NYC is Fox News staff and other right wing journalists in our city who are KKK type fascists using bigotry to create hate crimes and stochastically terrorizing us. Telegraph is not credible.
I reported this video for misinformation.
And notably, my friends have been the victims of the attacks in NYC, including assaults on Asians, incited by these right wing bigot journalists including Fox staff members, now including Telegraph staff.
What's not happening?
Okay don't forget the murders in Kentucky don't forget the murders in Houston don't forget the murders in Kansas City oh wait those are all red States so Republicans do murder yes they do
I want to reassure the police that we need and love them. Thanks for your service and bravery
Why do they get special treatment based simply on their occupation? Isn't everyone made in the image of God?
Yeah, it's so brave of them to abuse their power.

"Yes, defund the police. F*ck the police"
The cognitive dissonance is unbelievable.
Brainwashed softboy
what an excellent excellentjournalist! please redo this in LA very close to the same problems in reagan land just from my memory starting in the carjacking era maybe 1 in 5 ? cars have a gun under the seat
This reminds me of the movie "Judge Dredd". A movie where criminals literally rule a city. And in doing so, Court Judges, Policemen, and other forms of authority are killed by criminal elements on a daily basis, with little threat of punishment.
Except in form of Judge Dredd. The last punishment they ever needed.
But in the original comic strip from 200AD, the Judges are the only thing that keeps the mega city from falling into anarchy. The Judges, such as Dredd, have the absolute authority to dispense summary justice against the perps.
Abject nonsense.
NYPD kills with impunity.
Not the other way around.
so basically mexico
Hope we don't deteriorate to that level, but we are going in that direction.
I’m a minority, obviously by my name, but “stop and frisk” worked. I don’t care if I were stopped by the cops. I have nothing to hide (I was incarcerated in the past but I’ve changed my ways).
Maybe not frisk until after a id check and if repete offender a quick pat down.
Same here! Except I was never incarcerated or ever had trouble with the law but I too am a minority, Latino, and I 100% support Stop&Frisk. We need that back and as a 'brown person', I would like to see more police in my Latino minority neighborhood in Brooklyn. We need them.
I don't like stopping frisk cuz I just don't like getting my balls grabbed while headed down the street, besides I generally don't put enough padding in my schedule that I can comfortably be screwed over by cops for 10 or 15 minutes
@@bhs3871 I agree
The “hug a thug” approach isn’t working.
Not arresting, charging and imprisoning criminals causes a continuous escalation in the number and intensity of crimes by opportunistic predators. The personal issues of the criminals are irrelevant, except in deciding where they are imprisoned (mental institution, rehab facility, or penitentiary, or combination of those facilities).
These young people are appalling; an indictment on their parents' parenting and the education system. Oh and who I wonder committed the 16 murders on Rikers Island given that the inmates are all "innocent" according to the foolish journalist interviewed 20 minutes in?
its almost like our parents are a bunch of psychotic hedonism addicted self centered m0r0ns.. who also happen to be mostly right wing in their politics. like allowing them to steal labor value and pretend they earned it wasnt such a great idea after all and we should have just paid working people all they were worth so that power didnt get consolidated into the most psychotic of humans
How many people did the mob and John Gotti killed
Wall street steals also
@@bencintron2368 No one said they didn't.
As a NYC resident the social problems we have are mostly due to gang activity and a large homeless population that has mental illness and substance abuse challenges. Petty larceny has been changed to anything over $1000, so shop lifting and subway fare evasion is increasing. Michael Shellenberger has some good ideas on how to solve these problems if they can be implemented.
“defund the police” simply means reduce police budgets and divest funding towards underlying societal issues, like poverty, homelessness, education, and health services.
@@fuckbankersUnfortunately the term has been politicized. There are many new technologies that can incapacitate people who are violent without killing them. Scandinavia has a true rehabilitative corrective system, and the Netherlands has some good tools to keep people off the streets. We just have to decide as a society to spend the money, rather than just throwing people away.
@@JWPanimation exactly
For those who desire a revolution, civil disorder is not necessarily a problem. At the time of the French revolution those who wanted to bring down the monarchy did not necessarily love violence and disorder but they were willing to tolerate it to meet their goal. Ask yourself whether there are any people in society today who wish a total replacement of the cultural and political system. From my perspective what they desire is an end to violence and harshness, but what they are actually creating is the supremacy of consumer values. Personal safety will still be available in such cities but only to those who can afford it.
Those problems have been solved before but people don't want to allow stop n frisk, broken window, etc policies. NYC could fix itself again but people will feel there civil liberties violated. If it's not done the hard way it won't get done.
The people were so close to getting it right, with Police reform…. But that got taken to the extreme, with defunding. An encouragement to change for the better is something we should all strive for. The Us and them mentality needs to end
“ I don’t feel safe in New York” , 5 seconds later “yeah I support defunding the police”.
This is not a democrat vs republican or liberal vs conservative issue. This is more of a societal issue that’s going on across the country, across every state. Gun violence is up everywhere, homeless people are everywhere. This is the result of years of political incompetence by successive governments from both sides. The left and the right are pointing fingers at each other instead of trying to fix the problem. Every politician, whether they are in the left or the right, are all about talk and never action. The sad thing is that I don’t see any of this getting better any time soon. Every politician say that they care about the crime rates but they don’t, they live in their own little bubble along with the rich where everything is perfect and safe. America is so scared of outside threats without realizing that it’s own incompetence and it’s own people will be it’s downfall, not China, not Russia, not Iran, not North Korea.
Bullshit. This is the consequence of liberalism.
