“#Bill Bratton blames bail reform for NYC crime spike<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

New York City crime is surging after decades on the decline because of \u201cdisastrous\u201d liberal criminal justice reforms, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey passed a series<\/a> of criminal justice reform laws and bail reform that have proven disastrous,\u201d Bratton told host John Catsimatidis on WABC Radio\u2019s \u201cThe Cats Roundtable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shootings have\u00a0soared across the five boroughs\u00a0by nearly 70 percent so far in 2021, according to recent NYPD figures. Murders have risen nearly 12 percent so far this year, too, but compared to 2019, that figure rockets to nearly 50 percent, according to NYPD.<\/p>\n

Bratton, who served as top cop under both mayors Rudy Giuliani and Bill de Blasio, called efforts \u201cto fix a lot of stuff that do not need to be fixed\u201d a \u201cprinciple\u201d cause of the spike in criminal activity, along with the \u201cincredible\u201d proliferation of illegal guns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a legislature in Albany and the city council of New York City \u2014 and I\u2019m speaking specifically of New York but it\u2019s echoed across the country \u2014 and prosecutors who provide their primary goal is to basically to \u2026 take care of the defendant, and not to focus on the victim,\u201d Bratton said.<\/p>\n

Bratton insisted police departments had reformed significantly before legislators and Gov. Cuomo passed legislation limiting the types of offenses for which judges could require bail.<\/p>\n

His comments echo those of de Blasio and current Police Commissioner Dermot Shea, who have both spoken out against the controversial reforms.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrime \u2026 was, at all time lows before you started messing with it,\u201d Bratton added. \u201cArrests were down, summons were down, citations were down, use of force was down dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bratton said he was \u201csupportive\u201d of reform, but that advocates \u201cthrew the baby out with the bathwater.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to be in for a long, hot, violent summer \u2014 because I don\u2019t think anything at the moment that is going to temper that,\u201d the former commissioner warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have fewer cops to deal with it, we have such [little] political will to deal with it and we have, unfortunately, communities with a lot of young people with guns.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
