Great news for the people of New York City who have been plagued by rampant gun crime all across Gotham for the past couple of years! The Mayor is rolling out a new program to reduce gun violence and the city will pump half a billion dollars into the effort. (Where they found that money when they can’t even operate the migrant shelters is a mystery for another day.) The not-so-great news is that the plan doesn’t include any money for even one additional police officer. Instead of funding the NYPD to meet this increased demand, the cash will instead be spent on additional housing, employment opportunities, and mental health programs. The goal of this program is supposedly to “stop violence before it happens” and promote “positive youth development.” (Free Beacon)Read More
