>>2005360This back and forth has been going on since there was an NYPD. They do some outlandish act of violent public sadism, there's backlash, someone in politics tries to be a hero, the cops all stop doing their jobs for a couple of years, the public cries to them about crime, they revert back to their usual "crime fighting" (which barely differs from what the italian mafia did in the old days, which is unsurprising because it's the same people operating by the same rules). And every time the "anti crime" (aka pro corruption in civil service) people say it's going to be like escape from new york or something.
Given a choice between people pissing all over the floor of every subway car, and violent long island thugs gang raping teenagers in the back of a squad car, I guess I'll take the gang rapes but let's not act like this is some victory over crime, it's just moving the pieces around.
