New York’s unelected commie governor, Kathy Hochul, just announced her three-part plan to combat “gun violence.” It’s a joke. Here is the only part we really need to read:

Our three-pronged approach will tackle the rise in crime while also ensuring all New Yorkers, no matter their race or background, are treated with dignity and respect.

Remember that part: “dignity and respect” for people committing acts of “gun violence.” That’s about to become important. Hochul just can’t fathom cops showing a lack of respect to thugs emptying their guns at cops and innocent bystanders.

The rest of the “plan” is the usual lip service, but this line jumps out:

Gun violence has increased dramatically throughout the nation and in New York, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Gun violence” has actually increased dramatically since commie politicians nationwide emptied our jails, discarded bail, and refused to prosecute certain people for certain crimes. Is that the “dignity and respect” Hochul promised our coddled criminals? Because it’s getting people killed.

Here are a few recent events involving “gun violence” toward cops, all of which took place in 48 hours:

Let’s not forget the five New York Police Dept. (NYPD) cops shot already in 2022, two of whom died in a Harlem shootout.

As a former denizen of NYC, I can tell you that the city makes it almost impossible to get a license to buy a handgun. Anyone firing a gun at a cop likely bought it illegally.

FACT-ORAMA! Seventy-three officers were murdered in 2021, the highest number in 20 years.

Now is a good time to remind you that to the left-leaning press, there are two main types of shootings in the U.S.:

A “gun incident” is what takes place when a black perp fires a gun at people, even cops. Somehow, the gun is to blame, not the criminal. If the shooter is a white guy it MUST be a white supremacist, being all supremely white and whatnot.

Check out CNN’s report on the murder of the two NYPD policemen in Harlem:

NYPD colleagues shot during a domestic incident are remembered after second officer dies from his injuries

Respect and dignity. It wasn’t merely a “domestic incident, it was a double murder of two policemen. How about a headline like “NYPD Cops Murdered by Career Criminal Lashawn McNeil Are Remembered.”

Not a chance.

Now, look at this op-ed headline CNN ran after the horrific mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh:

The seeds of Pittsburgh were sown in Charlottesville

And this one for the Atlanta spa shootings, where a white guy killed six Asian women, one white male, and one Hispanic male:

White supremacy and hate are haunting Asian Americans

I’m guessing the bootlicker who wrote this somehow “missed” the fact that 85% of anti-Asian violence isn’t committed by “white supremacists.”

I’m starting to think “respect and dignity” really means we don’t call out the killers if they are of a certain demographic.

Lefty politicians nationwide, including Hochul, NYC’s new mayor Eric Adams, and NYC’s Soros-backed pinko District Attorney Alvin Bragg have all promised to put an end to “gun violence.” How’s that working out?

Bronx native Shakor Rodriguez, 23, was arrested after an 18-month sting operation. He was selling guns and high-capacity drum magazines, like the one used to murder the two cops in Harlem (the mags are illegal in New York State) on the streets of New York City. How many did he sell before the cops finally snagged him? We don’t know. What we do know is he was on the 2020 dean’s list at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Rodriguez is everything Hochul, Adams, and Bragg CLAIM they want to crack down on, a guy selling guns, and those pesky, high-cap mags, illegally on the streets of the Bronx. Guns used to kill cops and citizens in minority neighborhoods. He is due back in court on January 31. Let’s see how serious Hochul, Adams, and Bragg are about keeping guns off the streets of New York.

This is astounding: New York ABC Channel 7 found that though gun arrests have risen sharply since 2018, the number of people charged with felony and misdemeanor gun charges has actually dropped.

Ok, it’s not astounding, it’s all part of the plan.

Progressive politicians are happy to tell sobbing black families that they’ll “do everything” to stop the “gun violence” gutting their neighborhoods. They’ve been making the same promises for decades. But as we just read, a lot of violent perps are walking out of jails, frequently after paying little or no bond (respect and dignity!) and Hochul refuses to reconsider the deadly “bail reform” laws that are keeping New York dangerous.

The Democrats need rampant crime to scare people. It’s a classic commie move. Allow criminals to roam freely, then promise the frightened masses that they will take care of it. Now throw in some “white supremacy” hype so the people don’t see who is REALLY gutting their cities.

FACT-O-RAMA! Liberal politicians like to blame inner-city “gun violence” on southern states and “loopholes” but somehow fail to mention that the felons who bring the guns to places like New York City and sell them for roughly five times their value are almost always local criminals.
