New York City shootings over the last seven days skyrocketed by more than 358 percent compared with the same time period in 2019, from just 12 last year to 55 in 2020, according to NYPD data News 4 reported Monday.
A total of 74 people were wounded in the 55 shootings, at least 19 of them injured in more than a dozen shootings across the five boroughs on Saturday alone. Most of that gunfire was in the Bronx; four of those shootings were in Brooklyn, two in Queens and one in Manhattan, the NYPD said.

The rise in shootings has exceeded a troubling trend that started earlier this year and comes on the heels of NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea disbanding an anti-crime plainclothes unit that had focused on stopping people and searching for guns.
Mayor Bill de Blasio addressed the uptick in violence Monday, saying, "We are not going back to the bad old days where there was too much gun violence in this city, nor are we going back to the bad old days" of poor police tactics in handling it. He has pledged additional investment in community anti-crime initiatives.

Surely a bunch of social workers can solve this with blankets and hot cocoa and stuff animals

The lack of police may actually help these areas in the long run as they kill each other off...

Does not compute. It's exactly where they are going.

You mean the tactics that actually worked?
