NYPD union slams Big Apple as ‘city of violence’ amid surge in shootings

The NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association slammed the Big Apple as “the city of violence” amid a 250 percent surge in shootings last week, and a slew of other disturbing crimes citywide.

“Mayor de Blasio has allocated 30 million dollars to bring tourism to NYC,” the union tweeted Monday morning. “Welcome to the city of violence.” The SBA included a screengrab showing nearly two dozen shootings across the five boroughs between Friday and Sunday.
