The release of inmates from Rikers Island jails during the coronavirus crisis, failure of district attorneys to enforce the law and steady flow of anti-police brutality protests have all fed into a spike in violent crimes in New York City, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday.

The governor also emphasized the poisoned relations between the NYPD and New Yorkers as a trigger in the uptick in crime.

“May it have contributed? Yeah,” Cuomo said when asked about the city’s release of 2,500 inmates from Rikers to help curb the spread of COVID-19.

Of those inmates released, 13 percent were rearrested.

Cuomo also rapped the district attorneys.

“You have the district attorneys who sometimes appear not to be charging on the facts of the crime. There’s a difference between a protester and looting. There’s a difference between a protester and a gun charge,” he said,

"And prosecutors have to enforce the law,” Cuomo said, “not political opinions.”

If years of watching SVU has taught me anything, it's that inmates at Rikers probably need to stay at Rikers

Are they still doing the no bail thing? That might be a problem, too.

The leadership differences between cuomo and trump couldn’t be mark stark


Trump doesn’t shift blame. He accepts the buck

Cuomo blames everyone but himself

Trump takes the fall for his advisers. That’s why they all leave in good graces with him

Governor Press Conference will recontradict himself within a week. Only New Yorkers and CNN viewers are impressed by this empty-headed dope.

Cuomo is the type of shithead who would fart in a crowed elevator and blame it on the elderly lady standing next to him.

BREAKING:

The policies I endorsed and supported suck and I can’t figure out who’s fault it is but someone needs to help me save my constituents from myself.
