I link it later when I'm not at work but there was a really interesting report about how after the BLM protests, police departments were basically told to not pursue minor violations as frequently and violent crime skyrocketed because instead of being pulled over for a traffic violation a criminal wouldn't get caught or put in jail until they killed someone. NYC was a big offender of this

This article is about parking tickets. Do you have a source that the NYPD were told to issue fewer parking tickets? Or...any source at all? What major city didn't see a spike in crime during the pandemic in 2020? 1 in 6 NYPD officers was sick during this period, some precincts lost a third of their force for a while. Crime is now dropping, is it because the police were told to do their jobs again? > instead of being pulled over for a traffic violation a criminal wouldn't get caught...until they killed someone This talking point was stale in 2020 but I've never heard it put so unconvincingly
