Any candidate who remotely tries to be tough on crime won’t get the votes beyond locking down Lakeview. They elected Jason Williams who pledged to be soft on crime, let criminals out of jail, and look the other way on various crimes. And also happened to be under indictment at the time. And if someone were to get tough on crime, there’s no police force to carry the plan out. They’re getting exactly what they voted for.

It's a bit more complicated that "blaming the voter".

And it's not just black "culture", it's also the whole attitude of live and laugh and let the good times roll.

Everyone remembers Guilliani. Fewer remember his head cop was Bill Bratton who did the leg work. And HIS deputy was named Jack Maple - who did the super tough stuff. He's a cop legend.

And where did he work after NY? New Orleans.

And he wrote a book about it (among all his other jobs).

He pretty much says that the "broken windows" theory of policing doesn't exactly work when you encourage people to openly drink on the streets (in NY you got fined for that under Maple) and have Mardi Gras things. If you had Mardi Gras in New York under Guilliani everyone would have been in jail for public intoxication and lewd behavior and public urination and stuff like that.

Anyway, it interested buy his book or get it at the librry.
