\n Profiles in courage, it is not.<\/p>\n

An Upper East Side City Councilman swiftly apologized when his insistence on cleaning up graffiti made it app<\/a>ear that he had praised \u201cbroken windows\u201d style policing.<\/p>\n

Ben Kallos, (D-Manhattan), began groveling after being called out by just one person on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The kerfuffle began Aug. 10, when Kallos\u2019 sent out an email linking graffiti and more serious crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t abandon keeping our city clean. Graffiti makes leeway for property crimes and gun violence, and make things even harder for our small businesses as they fight to survive,\u201d Kallos said in the missive, which touted a recent appearance on CBS 2 in which he condemned the city\u2019s decision to remove funding for graffiti clean-up.<\/p>\n

The letter It didn\u2019t sit well with Sarah Steiner, a Manhattan election lawyer, who tweeted out a screenshot of Kallos\u2019 letter with the snarky comment, \u201cSomeone just discovered broken windows policing theory.\u201d<\/p>\n

The policing approach favored by law and order Republicans like Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg believes that responding aggressively to quality of life offenses like graffiti, jumping turnstiles and even jaywalking, is critical to deterring more violent crimes.<\/p>\n

But others have criticized \u201cbroken windows\u201d policing, saying it disproportionately impacts minorities.<\/p>\n

Kallos beat a hasty retreat, and put the blame on his staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for flagging. As you know, I do NOT support broken windows policing. It was an error on my team\u2019s part to let language like this go out under my name. I do not believe that graffiti leads to violence in any way,\u201d Kallos wrote in reply. \u201cWe wanted to let residents know we would clean up graffiti in the neighborhood. I do not support over policing for minor infractions and never have.\u201d<\/p>\n

An email reiterating the point was sent to constituents just a day later.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up seeing \u2018De la Vega\u2019 graffiti in the neighborhood on the way to Bronx Science<\/a>, and I have to admit that it inspired me to \u2018become your dream.\u2019 Funny enough, no one\u2019s ever asked to clean it up,\u201d Kallos told The Post.<\/p>\n

Kallos is currently running for Manhattan Borough President. His chief rival, Manhattan State Sen. Brad Hoylman, has taken a tougher line on graffiti, in the past sponsoring a bill to get tough on perpetrators.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
