So much for defund the Police and less cops.

Crime is leaving the station.
The Big Apple has finally seen subway crime crater — with the numbers even dipping below pre-pandemic levels — a milestone that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch credited Thursday to a surge of cops in the system.
Tisch, during a news conference with Mayor Eric Adams unveiling the city’s first-quarter crime statistics, said major offenses overall in the subways have dropped 18% — the second-lowest level in 27 years.
“There have been zero murders in our subways this quarter, the first time that that has happened since 2018,” she said, referring to the period covering the first three months of the year.
The transit safety plan that Tisch had unveiled in January came as New Yorkers were overwhelmed with fear after a wave of subway violence, including a woman fatally set ablaze on a Brooklyn train car.
Tisch responded by deploying 200 cops to trains and platforms, as well as flooding hundreds more to transit hubs in order to support a Gov. Kathy Hochul-hatched plan to put two officers on every overnight subway.

And that is a big "ITOLD YOU SO" to those who supported defund efforts and less cops. As well as though who argued subway crime was not a problem.
That's why it does no good to jump on the bandwagon most of the time.
The people leading the band need to be vetted before agreeing to their "movement".
Keeping badge-heavy assholes in check is one thing.
Not crucifying them on the whim of a talking head is another.
Please seat yourself.
