The recent mass shooting incident in Brooklyn has intensified the focus on crime in the NYC mayoral race. Candidates are exchanging accusations regarding public safety strategies. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, criticized NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch for portraying increased gun violence as an anomaly amidst rising crime rates targeted at women in subways. Tisch defended her stance by stating that the city is experiencing a record low in shooting incidents and victims. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams advocates for his re-election as crucial for maintaining public safety amid ongoing efforts to address quality of life issues.
"Nineteen shootings, three dead, five slashings, five stabbings, inordinate number of crimes of late in the subway directed at women. And that's an anomaly?"
"We have the lowest number of shooting incidents and shooting victims seven months into the year that we've seen on record in the city of New York."
