Isn’t there an NYPD officer stationed inside every Cap1 bank in NYC?
Our wonderful and amazing city has quickly returned to the way it was during Dinkins administration. We all knew this would happen…… except those who voted for DiBozo.
How quickly people forget…now people focus on important things like safe spaces, triggers and “resisting” the democratically elected President.
Wow, the crime stats for the UWS are shooting up! Thanks to Bill de Blasio, if the truly wonderful (and I mean that!) NYPD sees any of these guys in the street, they will not conduct a “stop, question, frisk.” They used to do so, the want to do so, but they will not do so — for fear of being accused of racial profiling and being investigated by the CCRB. This is the legacy of Melissa Mark-Viverito and de Blasio.
Welcome to the good old days of the Upper West Side!
and the sad thing is nobody is running against this clown, and more and more it looks like it will be 4 more years of this.
Can you provide a reference that “crime stats for the UWS are shooting up”?
Thanks
As suspected, no one has provided any actual data that show an increase in crime rates.
Looks like the low-information voters are out in full force in the comments section of WSR.
You are incorrect. Check the website of the 24th precinct or go directly to Compstat. There IS an overall rise in crime in this large UWS precinct from 2016 to 2017, and the year is not even over.
The facts are available online to anyone. Please do not distort them to fit your views. Thank you.
Ben David and Citywoman,
Please look at the numbers for NYPD here:

They do show serious crime has continued to DECLINE under the current administration despite your clear biases.
what about the crime specific to the area of 95th to 110th street? decline? same? increase? because it sure FEELS like “increase”.
If you think that low-information=minorities, then you are clearly a low-information person yourself.
Not everyone is as privileged as you and your fancy shmancy high education. Low information = minorities? Shame on you!
It “feels” like it.
Thank you for putting into words what I’ve been saying.
For the low-information voter, science and math and data are irrelevant. It’s all about “feelings”.
it’s true that crime is up this year by about 11% in the two UWS precincts (20th and 24th). it is also down citywide, by close to 5%.
i suspect that at the end of the year, crime on the UWS will be about where it was the year before. this is one of the safest areas in one of the safest major cities in the country.
I’m just curious as to why Ben David didn’t cite the crime statistics in PREVIOUS years, such as 2016 and 2015, when it was DOWN on the UWS as well as the city?
the exact same policies were in place.
Because he, like others with limited information and education, don’t understand how to interpret numbers. He also doesn’t understand how, when comparing very small numerators over time, trends are not ascertainable.
His failure to look at the trend over a few years where the factor of interest (policing methods) belies either lack of education, lack of honesty, or both.
They can’t win on facts so they rely on emotions.
Your comments about “lack of education” are racist. No need to insult to conduct a civil debate, even with a deeply uneducated person like myself.
Ah, I see. You don’t understand statistics.
Like I said – low-information voters are here.
