New York's Finest suffered a startling 4,600 injuries at the hands of violent suspects in the first nine months of 2024, marking the highest rate since 2016. This represents a 13% increase from 2023 and a staggering 60% rise compared to 2021, highlighting a troubling trend in officer safety.
One top cop attributed this rise in injuries to the influx of over 58,000 migrant criminals, stating that when laws lack meaningful consequences for attacking police, it increases dangerous encounters for officers.
SBA President Vincent Vallelong criticized the system, saying, 'We have a notorious gang that is poisoning our city and they are given free passes, jeopardizing the lives of our law enforcement officers.' He specifically mentioned the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a major concern.
Citing data from ICE, officials revealed that nearly 8% of the illegal migrants in New York City have prior criminal convictions or pending charges, indicating a significant risk to public safety and police welfare.
