New Yorkers critical of measures to curb subway crime

highlights a drastic incident where an armed police officer was overwhelmed by attackers, leading to the Governor's significant response. The Governor deployed 750 members of the New York National Guard and an additional 250 State and MTA police personnel to address over 570 assaults on subway commuters in the previous year. Despite these measures, subway crime rates surged by 133% compared to 2023, raising doubts among commuters about the effectiveness of increased military and police presence. Some New Yorkers express discomfort with the intrusive nature of bag checks and the presence of heavily armed troops, viewing these measures as indicative of a security state rather than a safe urban environment. The video captures the ongoing debate on balancing safety with civil liberties in the face of rising urban crime.
