Paul Mauro sounds alarm on New York City crime crisis: Nobody's 'moving to stop it'
Former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro weighs in on the severity of New York City's crime crisis as robberies and assaults continue.
Former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro issued a dire warning Monday to New York City residents that Gotham is on an "inevitable decline" due to ongoing crime surges. Mauro told "America's Newsroom" hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino Monday that the current crisis is worse than the infamous crime crisis of the 1990s.
NEW YORK CITY BLOCK HIRES PRIVATE SECURITY GUARDS AMID CRIME WAVE
PAUL MAURO: The police department is pressing for arrests for enforcement. The cops are doing it. The arrests are up. They are out there and they're doing it with less bodies. The problem is, how would you feel if, every day when you went to work, whatever you did all day, every day was undone a couple hours later by some unrelated entity? That's what they're dealing with. They're trying to interdict this stuff, but it's just being undone once it gets down into the court system. David Paterson, former governor of New York, makes a very salient point. He says it feels worse than the nineties. He doesn't really explain why, but I agree with him, and I think what he means is it feels so random. … I'm old enough, as is he, to remember the nineties. It doesn't feel that there's anybody moving to stop it. It feels like we are on an inevitable decline. We are rolling down the mountain.
