Friday, in the blink of an eye, one young life came to a profoundly unjust end and another is in grave danger.
Details were sparse last night, but what comes next is no mystery at all — bereft survivors; shocked and tearful colleagues; inspectors’ funerals, with the bagpipes and the bunting and the long blue lines of cops from all over the country.Mayor Eric Adams addressed the public after Friday’s tragedy.Before last night, three other cops had been shot since Bragg took his oath of office, and it’s only been three weeks.
This has been so even before former Police Commissioner Bill Bratton finally had his fill of the de Blasio administration and bolted.Mayor Adams has promised a course reversal, but he seems so far to have no plan for that. And with Bragg all but ordering his staff to ignore misdemeanors and do their best to avoid what he terms “carceral” outcomes — prison terms — the way seems clear for Manhattan’s young gunsels to lay waste wherever and whenever it suits them.
Today, the role of shredding the social contract has been taken up by progressive prosecutors like Bragg, radical members on city councils and in state legislatures across the country — and, of course, by radical termites with Twitter accounts.How much of this can be laid to Friday night’s murder in Harlem will become clear soon enough. But it is all but irrefutable that New York’s political class doesn’t take violent crime — especially gun crime — seriously enough to do anything about it.
