New York City engineered a crime decline miracle in the 90s. Rudy Giuliani and his police chief Bernard Kerik used the pure power of policing, including aggressive gun confiscations and "stop and frisk," to slash the city's murder rate from over 2,000 a year to under 300.
The city started to suffer a steady corrosion of this legacy under Bill DeBlasio, who took over as mayor in 2021 and hemmed in policing power with intrusive regulations insensitive to the realities of urban crime. Then, in 2020, that corrosion was turbocharged when the country's "racial reckoning" powered a horde of anti-police activists into city government. That includes TIffany Caban, Jumaane Williams and Kristin Richardson Jordan, who've dramatically cut the NYPD budget and further hamstrung police with fantastical rules such as the "diaphragm" law, which effectively prohibits officers from putting any pressure at all on a suspect's chest or neck during the course of an arrest.
This war on police has enabled violent chaos to spread throughout the city.
Jordan Neely was a product of this chaos. A schizophrenic homeless black man who'd been arrested nearly 40 times, Neely died on a New York City subway car in May. Neely had reportedly been threatening passengers and screaming that he wasn't afraid to go to jail when a fellow passenger named Daniel Penny, a white ex-marine, threw him into a chokehold. Jordan died while restrained. Video of the incident made national news and was quickly framed by activists as a brazen act of white supremacy. NYC's political establishment appears to agree: Penny has been indicted for manslaughter and now faces up to 19 years in jail.
These fashionable woke slogans obscure the true cause of Neely's demise: under-policing.
New York City has seen the power of police first-hand and yet it refuses to re-use that playbook to address its modern murder problem.
