The Problem: Anti-police pol Yuh-Line Niou’s transfer to a safer neighborhood after she was robbed.
I completely agree with Adam B. Coleman’s evaluation of leftist Meeting member Yuh-Line Niou (“Defund cops? Easy for Yuh to say,” PostOpinion, June 23).
Too lots of the leftist progressive politicians both stay in gated communities or have the cash to rent private safety. But all of them have the nerve to spout their leftist propaganda to defund the police.
He’s proper in stating they solely care about themselves — the individuals who elected them be damned.

Coleman has it precisely proper. There’s a particular circle of hell reserved for these so-called “leaders” of our metropolis who’re keen to depart males, ladies and youngsters in harmful communities unprotected towards the sociopaths and criminals who violently prey on them, and on the similar time use their very own wealth and privilege to guard themselves with personal safety and safer neighborhoods.
Woke politicians like Yuh-Line Niou and others who search to defund the police and help no-bail insurance policies are irresponsible hypocrites who’re doing incalculable injury to our metropolis, particularly to the residents of lower-income communities.
How these politicians have a look at themselves within the mirror every morning is past me.

I used to be disenchanted to learn Wednesday’s article slamming state Meeting lady Niou for statements she mentioned about police funding and for transferring into what she thought-about a greater, safer neighborhood.
As a former director of Southbridge Towers, a downtown cooperative with roughly 5,000 residents, principally seniors, let me say she has at all times helped us, particularly through the pandemic.
She has additionally supported the Chinatown neighborhood extensively, significantly towards the town’s insistence upon finding a jail within the midst of their neighborhood.
And since when is it thought-about offensive to maneuver in with one’s boyfriend?

Defund the police is essentially the most ridiculous subject that the left has provide you with. Exit within the high-crime areas and ask the individuals what they need.
What the police want is best coaching and cash to spend on coaching.

If the individuals in Niou’s district elect her, then they deserve what they get: an boastful, narcissistic hypocrite who doesn’t care one bit in regards to the security of common residents, so long as she’s secure.
For her to keep up her place as a proponent of defunding police after she moved to a safer space as a result of she was the sufferer of a criminal offense in Harlem is despicable.
Nevertheless, like so many on the political left, she doesn’t view that as hypocrisy in any respect as a result of she’s extra necessary than common residents.
This sort of disgusting leftist ideology is destroying our society.

Assemblywoman Niou was robbed the place she as soon as lived, so she determined to maneuver due to the crime in Harlem.
She was the sufferer of a criminal offense, which retains rising in New York Metropolis, and she or he runs to a safer neighborhood downtown. The worst a part of that is she’s anti-cop and supported defunding the NYPD.
I wish to know when these Democrats will get it by way of their thick heads that the one method to struggle crime is to have extra police and anti-crime models on the streets. Operating away from crime, like Niou did, will not be the reply.

Yuh-Line Niou is the peak of hypocrisy.
Somebody who deliberately leaves a crime-ridden space to stay safely elsewhere is sort of the norm for the lucky, however Niou takes it additional by denouncing and attempting to push her defund-the-police agenda.
That is merely one other instance of the pathetic mindset of those hard-left politicians. However they’ll be the primary to name 911 when their lives are in peril.
