\n A resolution introduced by House Democrats \u2014 and supported by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and many other members of New York\u2019s congressional delegation \u2014 links \u201cbroken windows\u201d enforcement against low-level crimes with police brutality.<\/p>\n

The broken windows policy, famously enforced by the NYPD, is credited by many with helping dramatically slash the crime rate in New York City from the 1990s to present. The theory is that going after the small offenses leads to reductions in serious crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice brutality and the use of excessive and militarized force are among the most serious ongoing human rights and civil liberties violations in the United States and have led to community destabilization, a decrease in public safety, and the exacerbation of structural inequities,\u201d reads the resolution, introduced by AOC\u2019s fellow \u201cSquad\u201d member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), as the nation has been rocked by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police\u00a0in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system of policing in America, and its systemic targeting of and use of deadly and brutal force against people of color, particularly Black people, stems from the long legacy of slavery, lynching, Jim Crow laws, and the War on Drugs in the United States and has been perpetuated by violent and harmful law enforcement practices,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

The resolution then continues, \u201cContemporary police practices that employ policing for low level offenses or so called \u2018broken windows\u2019 policing, as well as expanded and excessively militarized policing, has led to mass criminalization, heightened violence, and mass incarceration that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broken windows enforcement was championed by William Bratton, who served as police commissioner under two mayors \u2014 Republican Rudy Giuliani and Bill de Blasio, a left-leaning Democrat.<\/p>\n

Pressley \u2014 part of the quartet of first-term leftist female House members who call themselves \u201cThe Squad\u201d including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan \u2014\u00a0 boasted that 135 Democrats signed on to the resolution.<\/p>\n

New York City House members backing the resolution include Ocasio-Cortez, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, Hakeem Jeffries, Nydia Velazquez, Jerrold Nadler, Gregory Meeks, Grace Meng and Carolyn Maloney.<\/p>\n

Also signing on were moderate Long Island House members Kathleen Rice, the former Nassau County District attorney, and Tom Suozzi.<\/p>\n

But Rep. Peter King (R-Nassau) said it was wrong to lump in broken windows enforcement with police brutality.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the broken windows policing that turned around New York City from having 2,000 murders a year to 300 murders. It saved lives \u2014 especially the lives of African Americans,\u201d said King, who plans to oppose the resolution.<\/p>\n

Critics complain that strict enforcement of low-level offenses \u2014 such as fare-beating, vandalism and pot possession \u2014 disproportionately impacts young blacks and Hispanics.<\/p>\n

Gov. Andrew Cuomo drew flak when he increased MTA police presence in the subways to crack down on crimes underground \u2014 among the naysayers was Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx, Queens).\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
