One thing I’ve noticed about the, “It’s [crime] not as bad as it was in the 1990s” crowd is: they actually never lived through it. They either weren’t born yet, just a baby, or moved to #NYC in 2010 as a urban pioneer. For those of us that did, we never want to see that again.

@MichaelSkolnik This number is not based on the FBI definition of a mass shooting (4 or more people killed in one incident). The situation is bad enough without tweets like this that distorts the issue using broad, over-reaching definitions even more.

If you think cops are bad now, just wait for a few more years as jurisdictions struggle to hire and retain them. Add defunding on top of that and the likelihood of dropping standards lower: ‘Oh, so you weren’t convicted in those 3 robberies? Welcome to the Academy!’
