Bill O'Reilly: Progressive Policies Fueling Attacks on NYPD Officers

Surge in NYPD Officer Assaults

• 📈 A recent headline indicates a 63% surge in assaults on NYPD officers over six years, with many occurring in the subway.
• ⚠️ Experts warn this troubling trend is unlikely to end soon, despite a general decline in New York City's murder rate.

Progressive Prosecutors and Judicial Inaction

• ⚖️ Bill O'Reilly attributes the rise in assaults to progressive prosecutors who, he claims, are unwilling to punish individuals who attack police.
• 📌 The case of Darcel Clark, the DA in Bronx County, is highlighted, where two individuals accused of beating two officers on a subway platform have faced 16 adjournments without a court date being set.
• 🚫 O'Reilly argues that this inaction signals to criminals that they can assault officers with impunity, particularly in areas like the Bronx.

Police Union and Officer Morale

• ❓ O'Reilly questions the inaction of police unions, suggesting they should be more vocal and organized in defending their officers.
• 😟 He expresses concern that police officers are becoming angry and demoralized due to the perceived lack of protection and support.

Contrast with Beijing's Strict Order

• 🇨🇳 In stark contrast to New York, Beijing is described as a total surveillance and police state where order is strictly maintained.
• 👮 Officers are ubiquitous, and offenses like littering result in immediate punishment, ensuring pristine streets and no street crime.
• 🔒 This order comes at the cost of personal freedom and liberty for citizens.
• ⚖️ O'Reilly suggests a need to find a middle ground between the anarchy of New York and the totalitarianism of China.
