Another comment proving you live in a fantasy universe of your own making.

Whether it’s in Seattle or LA or NYC or anywhere else here in the REAL world, the people want the police doing their job and doing it properly. They don’t want the police ignoring violations because moonbats like Smith think the law is pointless. They don’t want the police ignoring the desires of the community because moonbats like Smith believe in their own little minds that cops should only be investigating bank robberies and chasing rapists instead of enforcing all the laws on the books. They want the polce enforcing all the laws, from illgal immigration to murder-one so that we, the law-abiding citizens, can live in our citis and towns without fear, working our jobs and raising our families.

Statistics prove that if you enforce the ‘Nuisance laws’, it has an effect on preventing the major crimes.
…With Giuliani’s election as mayor in 1993, the war on crime dramatically intensified. Together with his police commissioner William Bratton, the mayor completely transformed New York City’s approach to policing: Compstat soon allowed the NYPD to deploy personnel and resources efficiently, and quality-of-life policing became the norm throughout the city. Thanks to the new techniques—a quantum improvement over Mayronne’s early innovations—Times Square’s crime rate dropped to an infinitesimal level. Felonies committed on 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth—the “worst block in the city”—fell from 2,300 in 1984 to a mere 60 in 1995, prompting a city official to enthuse that “crime has reached such a low level on that block that we don’t keep statistics anymore.” In the entire Midtown South precinct, felony complaints fell 50 percent, from 20,000 in 1992 to 10,000 in 1997. Giuliani and Bratton also sent a powerful message through their public rhetoric that the city would no longer tolerate crime and disorder, heightening New Yorkers’ and tourists’ expectations about safety and soothing the jangling nerves of the business community.

So, Smith, feel free to continue living in your own fantasy world, where cops never enforce jaywalking laws and illegal immigrants are allowed to riot day and night, but I think the majority of the thinking public would rather live in the world with me where police enforce the laws on the books, no matter how they might inconvenience Smith.
