Democrats insist we don't have a violent crime problem.
Okay, maybe we do, and following President Trump's lead isn't a bad idea.
The problem is not that we need more laws, of course. The problem is Democrats have spent years ignoring the laws, reclassifying serious crimes as misdemeanors (or ignoring crime altogether), and repeatedly letting career criminals loose in the name of 'criminal justice reform' and 'equity.'
It's a recipe for disaster that has turned cities into unlivable hellholes.
And New York City is one of those places.
Two years ago, New York Post reporter Tina Moore was walking to work when she was assaulted by Kamieo Caines. Caines punched Moore in the abdomen. He was arrested on August 18 and DA Alvin Bragg gave him an insulting $1 bail:

Here's more from Moore (emphasis added):
Kamieo Caines, 36, a violent recidivist with 20 prior arrests who was on parole when he attacked me, wasn’t caught for two years — and when he finally was, the statute of limitations on my assault case had already run out.
Police were only able to charge Caines in my assault because cops were actively seeking him in the drug case – which kept the clock in my case legally ticking, a police source told me.
Bail reform that was proposed and passed by Democrats in Albany.
New York doesn’t have a crime problem.

It has a prosecution problem.
Alvin Bragg is only going to prosecute politicians from the opposing party. He’s not interested in incarcerating criminals. That’s not his reason for being.
Bragg is the same guy who wanted to throw the book at Daniel Penny for defending his fellow straphangers from a violent, mentally ill career criminal, Jordan Neely.
Your government shows you day in and day out what they care most about, and frankly, it isn't law abiding legal residents and citizens.

It is not.
Before most criminals end up incarcerated, they have committed 5-10x the number of crimes “recorded,” and that’s probably low. That’s why it’s called “a life of crime.” The victims should be given the benefit of the doubt not the criminals. Dems think ***backward

This is what intersectionality leads to: victims not getting justice because of the race or socioeconomic status of the criminals who harm them.
It's a diseased, unsustainable way of running a society.

That should be grounds for removal from office.
Electing Bragg was NYC's first error. https://t.co/bQZ7bHwAdh

Yes, it was.
“Expect no justice” is the new paradigm. https://t.co/9NGoCLnmaK

Yes, it is.
These soft on crime progressive DA’s care more about the suspects than the victims. https://t.co/ACREJdGl4S

They want the chaos that comes with uncontrolled crime.
That's why George Soros throws a lot of money into electing progressive Leftist DAs and AGs.
