The unrelenting gunplay has left victims’ families feeling that numbers alone don’t tell the story of how bad the violence has gotten.
earlier this month, when Sewell told ABC’s “GMA3”: “Our shootings are down, our number of victims are down, our homicides are down so far this year. And we continue to make more strides.”Adams also boasted, “We’re doing our job of taking dangerous people off the streets and taking guns off the street,” before blaming judges, prosecutors and lawmakers for “not playing ball correctly” and “impacting some of our results.”A veteran Brooklyn cop said, “We are seeing a lot more daytime shootings.
Another John Jay prof, former NYPD cop and Brooklyn prosecutor Eugene O’Donnell, called it “distressing” that spikes in shootings were “no longer confined to summer.” O’Donnell also said there seemed to be “a casualness to these shootings…they’re not even like purposeful shootings.”“Guns are clearly everywhere. Offenders are clearly emboldened,” he said., founder of the scandal-scarred Man Up! anti-violence group, as his “gun violence czar,” with a mission to “increase community safety and address the upstream causes of gun violence.”
“The administration is already making progress in driving down gun violence, leading to double-digit decreases in shootings and homicides year to date,” the statement said.
