Councilman Lancman Misunderstands Public Safety in NYC
A rebuttal to Councilman Rory Lancman’s Daily News article: “How the NYPD distorted ‘broken windows’”
By Joseph R. Concannon
New York City could not have a more polarizing figure sit upon its doorstep than Rev. Al Sharpton coming from a glitzy, gated community in NJ. As “stalker in chief,” Sharpton pours his acid upon the busy streets of NYC and elsewhere in what used to be the safest big city in America. Sharpton’s history of tearing communities apart is now legendary across the nation, as residents are left to pick up the pieces, put out the flames and replenish inventories of stolen goods.
Our number one concern is the safety and security of all New Yorkers. In that regard, I urge you to issue an urgent call for a state of emergency declaration regarding Al Sharpton’s anti-police rally in Staten Island this coming Saturday and insist that the protest be postponed until things calm down. 
Not long too ago George Pataki, a little-known resident and legislator of upstate New York took over the reins as Governor of the State of New York. He did so unassumingly, without great fanfare and with his integrity fully intact throughout. The Pataki administration brought many years of great progress and pride to New York and maintained our state’s renowned reputation as the powerhouse which is “The Empire State.”
COME MEET YOUR ALL-STAR CANDIDATES!
