The Political War on the NYPD - WSJ.com
May I have permission to blast the media for this?
Politicians are (purposefully) ignoring a great story while trying to use the NYPD for political gain...
In the Wall Street Journal, James Freeman wants us to know what's really going on:
"Another story that doesn't get out is the astonishing transformation of New York City over the past two decades. In 1990, there were 2,245 murders, a record. There was a sense of menace in every borough and on the subways. A 10-year-old girl was strangled to death. A 22-year-old tourist was killed defending his mother against a gang of muggers. Dozens of New Yorkers were killed by stray bullets. Since that terrible year, the annual number of murders has fallen more than 80%, to 419 in 2012."
