In New York City, this may be a bloodbath as the criminal justice system is bursting at the seams, with 75 people involved with guns on the streets and killings in the worst upticks in 2020.
NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said that the criminal justice system is 'imploding' as New York City sees a dramatic spike in street shootings and killings during the month of June, according to Daily Mail.
This was the remark of NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea, who spoke to reporters last Wednesday as gun violence and death increase. All of this courtesy of unsolved criminal cases that have become stagnant with less cops to do the job.
He added that the reason for all this is the criminal-justice system that is in implosion, reported the New York post.
When Shea referred to implosion, what he meant was many of the case that should have been solved are ongoing, stagnant or deferred.
He remarked that there are no arrests or any charges of these crimes. Possibly, those responsible are still free and are committing crimes.
The police believe that those people who are shooting and killing, or outright amuck are those who should be in jail. But, the coronavirus pandemic only made things worse for everyone.
Shea said that supervised release is an irony, and also a fallacy. This was reported by CBS New York when was interviewed.
He further stressed that they are only released, no supervision at all, adding that the release of these individuals is the end result of it in NYC.
These dire observations were the outcome of the last violent week, that engulf NYC in which 75 people were hurt with 55 shootings during a seven-day crime spree.
It is a huge jump of 342% in the shooting in just seven days in the last week. It makes the statistics of 2019 look less alarming.

Shea had predicted the uptick from the start of the year, of all these violent incidents and it is climbing.
Trending violence in NYC is happening, criminals shooting other only one of the signs. Saying the criminal justice system must get a kick-start.
Some of the reforms like cash bail for the selected offense is one of the reasons for the violence in NYC.
Shea let the cat out of the bag and said that no one is in jail, or areea merely at bare minimum. Most of them are on the streets causing havoc.
If anyone thinks the police can solve it, and all the bad people are back on the streets, it will not happen. But this is not because it is the cops' fault, and they cannot do their jobs.
He added that these shootings were caused by dice games, alcohol or weed, this past weekend. Another reason is the quality of life offense that must be addressed.
