Crime NYPD Officer Murdered By Man With 21 Prior Arrests

I am sure Stephen Colbert joking about how great crime and the economy is will really hit home
Crime is on the decline. That’s indisputable no matter how bad you want to pretend it isn’t.

Yes, crime still happens. Everyone knows it’s bad. But even during the post Covid spike in crime that occurred, it wasn’t anywhere near the rates seen in the 80s and 90s.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.
 
Ya think?

And don't you also think at some point the NYC lawmakers should have paid attention to the results of their policy changes over the past few years and changed course before the crimewave plaguing NYC made national headlines and embarrassed the entire city?

Their mayor was right, NYC does have a brand, and this is it.

I do.

They should have paid attention but i'm guessing you may not have heard any of the positive stories by these policies either (if any exist). Not sure about the crime wave...you can't judge that by this incident.
 
I dream that one day, many years after the apocalypse , that this is the one sound byte that survived the end of the world and become a rallying cry for he revolutionaries against their mutant overlords.

Well I, for one, welcome our new Mutant Overlords. :)

What should one do of the "facts" don't seem to match what they eyeballs are seeing ?

And I don't mean terminally online ...I mean you see your link say it's down but then you go out into your community and it seems way rougher than it's been in years ? Like it almost seems like the wire and the stats are being juked.

I don't know if that's actually the truth of the matter but it does seem possible.
 

There’s an interesting history here.


What a bunch of baloney. Whoever wrote that brain dead nonsense should be given at least 1 strike as that level of stupidity should be a serious crime. No one sentenced under the law is serving life for stealing change, considering the law under which they are sentenced to life is literally called the 3 strikes law, that might be a good indicator that the sentence was based on the combination of 3 things. If people show a repeat pattern of being unable to exist in free society without committing crimes they should be removed from society.

If Crimes aren't actually reported and crimes aren't actually prosecuted or even charged of course its on the decline. And why on every main stream media channel are they always comparing the crime rates today compared to 2020 and not a different period in time. a BS argument is saying its not as bad now as it was at its worst points.

Is there a certain page within that link you are pointing to?

Regardless, this article shows the DOJs report that crime victimization reached record highs. Meanwhile the FBI changed the way they collect data and failed to collect data from thousands of police departments.

Not to mention certain areas changed which crimes the prosecute.

Which are all facts

https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/11/03/violent-crime-property-data-nibrs-ucr-fbi-2022In

Even from your own link, they caution how to interpret the data, as it is incomplete and other factors that should caution you to take it as “facts”

“The data found on the Crime Data Explorer represents reported crime, and is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It’s important to consider the various factors that lead to crime activity and crime reporting in a community before interpreting the data. Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors to consider include population size and density, economic conditions, employment rates, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies, administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement, citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing, and the effective strength of the police force.”

Exactly. If Philly says they won’t be sending cops out between certain hours for 911 calls, does that mean no crimes are committed because the police don’t show up? Or the rampant shop lifting gangs, does that crime not occur of the DA decides not to prosecute?

Take the thread about women being punched in the face. How many of those were the person doing the assaulting arrested and charged? Probably most were not arrested and/or charged.

If you look at what the FBI said on the website he provided, which I quoted after my link, they caution how to interpret the data because stuff like judicial and prosecutorial policies may influence the data. Wooooow, like DAs refusing the charge certain crimes?

Lol, these people have no critical thinking skills

They are smart people and they know this when they say "But Crimes are Lower" but it doesn't fit their narrative but the majority of Americans aren't buying what they are selling because they see whats happening with their own eyes.

Well, I dunno if he and the other lib posters here are smart. But the people in the media that spoon feed them narrative are.

I mean, he clearly gave a link and said “facts don’t care about your feelings”, when the link he provided clearly cautions taking their data as facts…. Yikes lol

you do realize the 80s and 90s were 30-40 years ago? Technological advancement and preventative measures have certainly put an end to some of the crime. But pretending we have a benevolent population that cares about each other is delusional. Also most crime goes under or unreported. It's known as the "dark figure of crime."
 
How the fuck is he out after 21 arrests? the sentence for the 21st one should have been so long, that he should have never been let out. anyone who enabled him being out should be held accountable for this murder.
Because they served their sentences. From the article:
Records show Rivera has been arrested by the NYPD 21 times -- nine of them felonies. He was released from prison in September 2021 after serving nearly five years for criminal sale of a controlled substance. He previously spent three years in state prison for a 2011 assault and was released in October 2014.

Jones has 14 prior arrests. He was arrested for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon for having a loaded firearm in Far Rockaway on April 17, 2023. He was out on $75,000 bail. He previously served 10 years in prison on 2003 attempted murder and robbery charges and was released in November 2013.
Sadly this is all too common in New York because leftists love criminals.
Is it though? From the article in the OP
This is the first NYPD officer killed in the line of duty since 2022, when officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera were fatally shot in a Harlem apartment building after responding to a domestic disturbance call.

A wake for Diller will be held Thursday and Friday at Massapequa Funeral Home while a funeral is set for Saturday at St. Rose of Lima R.C. Church.
I'm kind of surprised that not a single officer was killed in the line of duty in 2023, seems like a solid track record.

The problem in NYC doesn't seem to be serious violent crime like this incident, it seems to be more so low level petty crime like shoplifting and fare evasion and what not. Those kinds of crimes should also be taken seriously because if they aren't the city can experience a sort of "death by a thousand cuts" where businesses feel that they have to invest too much into loss prevention or have to shut down locations or the transit system bleeds money but I don't think this picture of a lawless NYC where murder happens left and right that is being extrapolated from this one incident seems to be true.

That might be true for petty crimes like shoplifting or fare evasion but I doubt there are murders and aggravated assaults that go unreported.

I don't think anyone is claiming that we suddenly became benevolent as much as the claim is that whatever set of factors that decreased crime from its peak in the 90s is still at work despite some hiccups along the way.
