Governor Kathy Hochul revealed a five-point plan Wednesday to bring additional state resources to bear on combatting subway crime in New York City.

The plan includes the deployment of 750 National Guard members and 250 New York State and MTA police officers into the subway system, and additional teams to handle cases involving people exhibiting signs of mental illness.

The new deployment adds to the additional 1,000 NYPD officers ordered into the subway last month to conduct bag checks and follows the slashing of a conductor and other high profile crimes.

Hochul is also calling for people deemed to be too dangerous by a judge to be banned from the subway. She is pushing for a state law that allows judges to block a person from riding the subway or buses for three years if they are convicted of attacking a passenger.

It also says in the article it might be adding metal detectors because if there's one thing New Yorkers want in their commute during rush hour is the feeling of a saturday night club waiting in line

So glad to see our money is being used correctly

So instead of solving the homeless crisis, growing class warfare divide, mental health epidemic, NY is going to throw more cops at the situation. They really haven't learned a thing have they

ny with another L

no wonder the only people that like ny are those that are stuck there

theyre the ones that popularized hostile architecture you think they give a f*** about people?

Posted about this earlier in the NYC thread but I'm glad you made a thread

This is f***ing crazy

Too true sadly

something Batman would do

Thank you Kathy, I feel so much on safer on the train when there’s an AR-15 in my line of sight. The more guns I’m surrounded by, the better! 😃

They never saw the dark knight rises

Soon as they go down there banes gonna make his move

Haven’t seen any

This s*** ain't got nothing to do with homelessness and mental illness.

I’ve always occasionally seen nypd on the subway entrance on the weekends (125th street), but they never actively made niggas search they bags.

I don’t think they being deployed at every station like freakin Sutter ave or the 5 on Lexington. BUT you will see random bag checks at tourists heavy spots like Union Square for political theater.

Once again what were the old Brooklyn niggas thinking voting in a 🐷 for mayor?

Bout to be even more Jordan Neely situations

dystopian society just seeing more officers watching the mentally ill

Good for New York

????

even from a vague conservative perspective this doesn't even make any sense policy-wise. like for people who are pro-cop, this is essentially nonsensical and arguably even worse of a policy,
when crime was far higher in the 80s-90s into the 00s they didn't need the national guard,and the NYPD was much smaller back then (along with its budget).
they basically over-legislated the NYPD's effectiveness into nothing while simultaneously over-inflating their budget, and then brought in the National Guard to do the job the NYPD would be doing if they literally just repealed like 3 bills meanwhile the NYPD is STILL being over-funded despite legally them being completely useless, and meanwhile instead of any form of actual policy in place to deal with crime they just have the guard acting like the entire city is under military occupation

reminder that that cow Cherelle Parker wants to do this same bullshit here in philly on an even bigger scale

ban

No Money Mo Donuts

Philly actually needs it that whole city needs to be nationalized fr yall city government has failed that place on every level

philly government sucks ass but this is just not true at all there's like 3 neighborhoods in philly responsible for 90% of the city's crime

Yeah, this is not true

Numerous girls been getting duffed in the face & somebody got killed being pushed to the tracks on the 4.

Thank god the national guard and the police have been able to stop fare evaders tho

Can’t afford to keep libraries open 7 days a week though.
