As New York City spirals out of control by gangbanger thugs shooting and killings innocent people, a lot of times, Asian American or Pacific Islanders, Comrade Andrew Cuomo has issused an executive order calling “gun violence” a “Disaster Emergency”. This so called “disaster emergency” is largely symbolic, all it does it give Cuomo more power and get New York state to spend more money on “gun violence programs”.
The real “disaster emergency” in New York is Andrew Cuomo himself, Bill De Blasio and all the communists who have ruined New York City and the state.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday declared a state of “disaster emergency” over gun violence across New York — and announced $138 million in new spending to try to stop the surge in shootings.
“Gun violence and crime should be the top priority for every mayor in this state because every city has been affected by it,” he said.
“It’s a matter of saving lives — and New York’s future depends on it.”
Speaking at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, Cuomo said that “people are not coming back to this city — they are not coming back to any city — until they know it’s safe.”
Cuomo made no mention of hiring more cops, although he said he wanted to “rebuild the police-community relationship.”
In a speech that at times sounded like a campaign pitch, the embattled, three-term Democrat unveiled a seven-point plan that includes treating gun violence like an “emergency public health issue” and using “data and science” to zero in on shooting “hotspots.”
Cuomo — who’s facing multiple probes tied to sex harassment allegations and the cover-up of nursing home deaths from COVID-19 — also said he would provide “positive engagement for at-risk youth,” including by creating summer jobs and funding arts and other social programs.
