You could have a million cops or zero cops. That has nothing to do with man's violence towards another man.

More cops isn't the problem or the solution.

You’re right to an extent but I’ll go out on a limb and bet that the shooter has been arrested before and probably violent offenses. There is less of a deterrent in these liberal cesspools where they defund police and don’t allow law abiding citizens to defend themselves.

Not in the philosophical sense I guess. In the real world, more cops = less violence. Statistical fact.

Nightmare ‘serial grifter’ returns to West Village pad with NYPD escort

An accused roommate from hell returned Sunday to the West Village digs where she’s allegedly been squatting and wreaking havoc for more than a year — armed with an NYPD escort.

Kate Gladstone — described in court papers as a nightmare “serial grifter’’ who has become a menacing scourge in the well-heeled Manhattan neighborhood — pulled up to 129 Barrow St. in a police SUV around 2:30 p.m.

Two uniformed cops escorted the 44-year-old woman inside the building — with one of the officers carrying Saturday night’s city Housing Court order preventing her from being booted amid the coronavirus.

“I’m not sure what’s going to happen now,’’ lamented co-op owner Heidi Russell, who sued Gladstone to try to evict her, to The Post on Sunday after the return of her alleged rogue short-term tenant.

“I just want my life back,’’ Russell said.

The homeowner said Gladstone offered to leave the pad about a week and a half ago — but only for a $24,000 payout.

Russell said she balked at paying the amount to the “grifter” — who previously refused to the leave the Christopher Street home of an ex-girlfriend in the Village until she was paid $20,000, court papers allege.

Russell, who was not in the two-bedroom home when Gladstone arrived, entered the apartment shortly after to quickly retrieve something, but the pair did not interact, the owner said.

“I’m feeling very uneasy not knowing what’s going to happen [and] how she’s going to act, if she’s going to retaliate in any way, if she’s feeling more emboldened,’’ Russell said after leaving the home again.

Russell has said she and her partner decided to rent their spare bedroom in June 2019 while her partner was on an extended international trip.

Gladstone — a self-described documentary filmmaker and divorced mom from Pittsburgh — was to pay $2,000 a month.

But when Russell and her partner said they needed the room again at the end of that June for the partner’s mom, who was recovering surgery, Gladstone allegedly flew into a rage — creating a months-long showdown that still hasn’t ended.

A judge then ruled over the weekend that because of the coronavirus, Gladstone, aka Katherine Klein, according to court papers, could stay in the pad at least till Oct. 1.

It’s at least the third time Gladstone has squatted in someone’s home, refusing to leave, court documents allege. She allegedly sometimes brings her young daughter along, too.

Gladstone has been arrested twice: for alleged stalking and grand larceny. She’s set to appear in court on the raps next month.

Your beef is with the lawyers and politicians then. Police do do sentencing.

Cold-cocked judge becomes latest victim of senseless NYC violence

judge-phyllis-chu-1.jpg

Judge Phyllis Chu

A Manhattan judge became the latest victim of senseless city violence when she was cold-cocked by an apparent stranger on a Citi Bike while walking to work Monday, officials and law enforcement sources told The Post.

Criminal court Judge Phyllis Chu, 56, had just gotten off the Staten Island Ferry and was headed to her job at the downtown courthouse at 100 Centre St. around 9:40 a.m. when she was suddenly slugged in the jaw by a male cyclist at the corner of Wall and Water streets.

“With no words exchanged, a bicyclist riding in the opposite direction as the one she was walking in just punched her in the face and kept going,’’ Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the city’s Office of Court Administration, told The Post.

NYC passes grim gun-violence milestone as shootings top 1,000 for the year

The city surpassed 1,000 shootings for the year on Sunday, according to NYPD data, which also shows an average of nearly 10 people fell victim to gun violence each day over the last four weeks.

With four more months left in 2020, New York City logged 1,004 shootings as of Aug. 30, according to NYPD data released Monday. Last year, there had been just 537 by that time.

It is the first time the city has eclipsed the benchmark in gun violence since 2015, when 1,138 shootings were recorded for the entire year.

“Mr. Mayor, it is time to stop calling New York the safest big city,” a Brooklyn cop quipped to The Post.

The notable number comes a week before Labor Day, when cops expect another bloody holiday weekend in the Big Apple.

My city is the same- double the number of shootings as this time last year.

Of course, our local government blames it 100% on boredom from coronavirus. I'm sure the city council's calls (and actions) to defund police and the almost assured engagement with some of the criminal elements around here by one or two of our local reps has nothing to do with it.

Team Cuomo’s latest ridiculous nursing-home-death dodge

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Health Department has no shame — not over its deadly March 25 order forcing nursing homes to admit COVID-positive patients, and not in stonewalling anyone looking to learn how many lives that mandate cost.

The latest is its laughable excuse for dodging a Freedom of Information Law request from the Empire Center, filed early last month. It sought the number of nursing-home residents who died of the coronavirus after being transferred to hospitals, numbers the state stopped releasing in May.

The department response this week: It can’t comply until at least Nov. 5, “because a diligent search for relevant documents is still being conducted.”

Bull. Health Commissioner Howard Zucker told state lawmakers Aug. 3 that he had the info — but wouldn’t share it because “I need to be sure it’s absolutely accurate.”

Zucker admits to more than 6,600 deaths in homes. Extrapolating from data from other states, the in-hospital figure will most likely double the total.

The Empire Center is appealing, noting how “implausible” the excuse is: The Health Department requires nursing homes to file fatality reports daily, including in-hospital deaths. How can it need two more months to come up with the data? Especially when Zucker told legislators at an Aug. 3 hearing that he was already working on it.

“If you die in the nursing home, it’s a nursing home death. If you die in the hospital, it’s called a hospital death,” Cuomo insists — though no other state that’s been a coronavirus hot-spot tallies deaths this way. Then again, the gov himself noted early on that the virus spreads in homes like “a fire through dry grass.”

Cuomo and Zucker still defend their March 25 mandate, though they rescinded it in May. But their refusal to tell the truth about its consequences tells you they know just how deadly it truly proved.

NY Heats Up Over Daniel Prude: ‘We Gonna Put Matters Into Our Own Hands If Justice Don’t Come,’ ‘We Got 100,000 Deep, Ready’

Protesting has broken out in Rochester, New York, over the recent release of body camera footage related to an interaction Rochester police officers had back in March with a 41-year-old man named Daniel Prude, who died seven days later.

One man upset about the incident and the alleged cover-up by city officials suggested to a reporter on camera Thursday that racially-charged violence would be the response if “justice” does not come.
