According to new reporting from the New York Post, a record number of NYPD officers have retired or resigned this year.
At any time, such an extreme exodus of officers from the force is worrying, but it is especially concerning now as violent crime surges 44% in New York City.
Astonishingly, Democrat New York Mayor Eric Adams LAUGHED off the resignations and said he’s not concerned. New Yorkers suffering under the Democrat crime wave disagree.
It’s not just New York – the Chicago Police Department has the lowest staffing levels in recent history. Democrats have slashed police budgets, liberal District Attorneys from New York to San Francisco have refused to enforce the law, and Democrat politicians have attacked the police. The result? A devastating effect on morale across major cities and a crime wave Democrats have aided and abetted.
