City Council member Oswald Feliz just made an interesting request. Mainly because once upon a time, it was he making some of the loudest calls to defund the very people he is now pleading for help from

Crime is down they say. Why would the need more police?

This does seem odd and contradictory to his party's national stance that the country is a veritable utopia under the Biden-HARRIS administration.
He should focus on repealing bail reform

There's a thought. Maybe undo the revolving door of crime currently plaguing Gotham and most blue cities in America.
The Democrats brought in the Venezuela gangs who are now having turf wars with the established gangs. There was never a mess like this 4 years ago.

Poor Mayor Pete is always the last to know.
@OswaldFeliz should not be attacked for telling the truth.

Attacking?
In this writer's opinion, there's no attacking here. There is some well-deserved mocking, sure, but not attacking. Lest we forget, as explained earlier, the gentleman requesting help now was one of the chorus of voices decrying the NYPD and calling for them to be defunded.
It's good that he came to his senses, but he still deserves all the scorn he's receiving. Again, in this writer's opinion.
