Council Member Kristy Marmorato has voiced concerns over police resources in the Bronx after a violent carjacking left a man critically injured. She criticized the city for inadequately staffing the NYPD, stating that Bronx residents are left to protect themselves due to reduced law enforcement. Following the incident, in which the victim was dragged by his own car during an attempted theft, Marmorato highlighted police staffing shortages and called for policies aimed at restoring public safety and order. Major crime in the precinct has increased amid ongoing debates about police effectiveness and safety in the community.
The NYPD's 45th Precinct, where the incident occurred, is down 19 officers, highlighting ongoing concerns about police staffing shortages that have fueled fierce political debate.
Marmorato emphasized that without properly staffed police departments, Bronx residents had to fend for themselves due to the city having 'gutted' law enforcement and weakened its laws.
'We need more cops,' Marmorato stated, urging for laws that matter to restore public safety and bring back law and order before more innocent people are hurt.
The victim was dragged through the streets while trying to stop a thief from stealing his Infinity Q50, leaving him in critical condition.
