On the Fact that (According to the Manhattan Institute's Heather MacDonald - AKA, My Next Wife, I Jest) Murders In New York City Have Decreased from 2,000 In 1990 to 319 In 2019, an 84% Decrease

Ms. MacDonald credits proactive-policing and a policy called Compstat in which precinct commanders are held ruthlessly accountable for crime in their jurisdiction.......and, while, no, it isn't quite as sexy and fashionable as the latest craze of getting rid of the police (truth be known, it's the exact opposite), it has saved a lot of black lives over the years and so maybe just tweak it a little, try to get other cities to emulate it, etc.? I'm just askin'.
