“The biggest thing is that you’re going to see more cops get hurt, and that’s the sad part,” said one Manhattan cop, blaming it on the decreased use of “stop, question and frisk” — a cutback championed by the de Blasio administration.
“I think cops are more hesitant to take police actions, and that’s when you see cops getting hurt more, cops getting shot, and cops saying, ‘F- -k that. Why am I going to do something that’s going to cause me to get hurt or suspended? Why am I going to be that person?’
“The streets are absolutely more dangerous for other people, too,” said the officer, adding the rise of cellphone videography is also problematic, since suspects “want to put on a show for the camera.”
