I hope someone told her it’s just a “perception” of crime.

Don't worry they'll tell her she's statistically very safe

Everything is fine, she was more likely to get hit by a car so getting randomly socked in the face is just a statistical anamoly.

There's always a possibility of getting socked in the face randomly. If you don't know, now you know.

Don’t worry. She won’t be suffering from any psychological trauma.

Tell her that she was statistically more likely to get punched in the 90s than now. /s

Actually it was internalized colonialism that caused the punch to the face. Please be respectful.

They are - because the NYPD and DAs won’t do their jobs.

Arrests are up 21% this year compared to last year for this current time period. The statistics that NYPD aren’t doing their jobs says otherwise.

It's because you can skip 4 court appearances after getting your "please show up" ticket after attacking grandma before a bench warrant gets issued. That takes about a year of being issued multiple summons. Add the COVID court delays and you are seeing now what we would have started seeing a year after the law changes.

Maybe 2021 was a low year for arrests, making the arrest rate in 2022 look better than it would have been in prior years.

After all, someone can claim that ridership on the MTA has skyrocketed by X percent in 2022. It would be true, but ridership is still down over years before the pandemic.

So statistics need to be questioned.

What number of arrests would quantify the NYPD doing their job for you?

dma10014 t1_iuc2gh4 wrote

Offhand, I'd say at least 2013 levels, the year before DiBlasio became mayor.

ny_medic t1_iucbska wrote

Many offenses since then were decriminalized and/or are no longer prosecuted. So I’d expect the numbers to be much higher.

DAs DP every case they get. Why would you want to arrest anyone when the DA will just DP it?

Crime has existed for 100K years and will always exist. Even when punishments were insanely harsh people still committed crimes. Obviously some people just don't give a damn.

awful... This happened to a friend in the east village last year, mid pandemic too.

These events will continue until nyc has another Goetz-like event.

“When Feinberg called 911 and cops did not immediately respond, she walked to a local precinct to report the assault.

Feinberg refused medical attention, but suffered pain to the face, cops said.”

But…we can’t defund the NYPD. Because clearly their response time to a woman being beaten in the middle of the day is superb.

It has to happen eventually, but cannot happen until we have the underlying structures to prevent mental decay and homelessness.

It’s why Norway can have such light sentences and be safer for it, they have the other aspects of their society covered.

Think of it as a reallocation of resources instead of creating criminals and asking nypd to fix it

Norway has a mostly homogeneous population of 5.5 million people total, for the entire country. Not comparable at all.

rainofshambala t1_iu9bktd wrote

I keep seeing these arguments about how it can't be done in the US because the population is different or the population is diverse. Maybe we should consider other things like wealth distribution, basic necessities being met, Quality of education, healthcare etc. I mean if we can have the highest number of millionaires and billionaires we can have what they have too right?.

Does Norway accept and provide medical care for an unlimited amount of migrants?

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iuacvru wrote

No, and neither does the US

Grass8989 t1_iub0w1r wrote

The city literally just spent a billion dollars on the migrant crisis, can you show me an example of Norway doing the same for non citizen asylum seekers/migrants?

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iub2z4h wrote

That's not "accepting and providing medical care for an unlimited amount of migrants"

Grass8989 t1_iub5vh4 wrote

They get emergency Medicaid, which is essentially free healthcare. They can go to any emergency dept in the city and receive free care. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but I don’t see other country’s stepping up to the plate like we do.

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iub9a8o wrote

Emergency life saving care isn't denied to anyone in the emergency room regardless of whether they can afford it, and despite your claims to the contrary you're saying it shouldn't be.

Grass8989 t1_iuba2f5 wrote

Emergency care is not denied, but if you don’t have insurance they WILL send you a bill, and you are responsible for the bill. The city is covering the cost for the migrants. That’s the difference.

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iubbam6 wrote

Some qualify for Medicaid and some don't, just like it's always been.

People only care this week because it's election season.

“Permanent Residence Under Color of Law, or PRUCOL, is a public benefit eligibility status, as opposed to an immigration status, that allows certain groups of individuals, including those seeking asylum, to be eligible for full Medicaid coverage. Eligibility for Medicaid depends on a variety of other factors (income, state residence, etc.), which PRUCOL applicants for Medicaid must also meet to be found eligible.”

Guess what, they all have no income and qualify.

Sure, asylees are one group that qualifies. That's not unlimited migrants.

Grass8989 t1_iubln9d wrote

If you have no taxable income, regardless of your immigration status, you qualify for Medicaid.

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iubn7h9 wrote

"Certain groups of individuals" is literally in your quote. It's not available to anyone who shows up regardless of immigration status.

Tbh I'm not sure if you're blurring lines out of ignorance or an agenda.

Grass8989 t1_iubnbb4 wrote

Yes, the certain groups are people with no taxable income…

Hey, how about you read AND understand your own link before commenting again.

Grass8989 t1_iubopca wrote

You clearly don’t know how Medicaid and emergency Medicaid works and how easy it is to get with no taxable income, regardless of immigration status, It’s fine. I shared that link because you stated that asylum seekers weren’t receiving free medical care which was false.

1

Im_Not_Really_Here_ t1_iubp6pc wrote

No, I said people don't get Medicaid without announcing themselves and falling into one of those "under cover of law" categories.

I'm still not sure if it's ignorance or an agenda, so kudos there at least.

Where do you think they send the bill when the patient doesn’t have a home?

Grass8989 t1_iubmmr3 wrote

It gets written off by the hospital. Do you think it’s fair that someone can exploit our immigration system, get seen in An emergency department and pay nothing, when a tax pay citizen can lose their job, have a medical emergency and be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical bills?

AnacharsisIV t1_iub96vr wrote

Many if not all of those issues are nationwide; NYC does not have the ability to address those. Sure, let's say the mayor and council create some bill to allow homeless people to be forcibly institutionalized; that's also unconstitutional and would be stopped by a federal or state judge.
