This argument might make more sense if the metrics were time-correlated
In reality, reductions in crime preceded the budget increase – in NYC, and everywhere else in the country https://twitter.com/izengabe_/status/1296805418858090498

I have indeed. There was/is a recent-ish longitudinal study somewhere in my @'s comparing nearby school districts where one had a lead contamination issue, that seemed to support that hypothesis too https://twitter.com/kebesays/status/1296806889762820096

There's ample empirical data, spanning many jurisdictions over many years, showing the sort of expensive daily police harassment @Izengabe_ is cheering on doesn't reduce murder rates
So yes, a violent crime drop in summer is weird in its own right, moreso mid-economic collapse https://twitter.com/quixxxcap/status/1296815593564381192

Let's assume for the sake of argument you're right
Considering police budget cuts hadn't gone into effect at the time those "increases" happened, it sure sounds like an admission that more cops are unsuccessful at crime control

I don't know what the solution is either, but it sure seems like a good starting point would be spending less money on what is shown to not work, and trying something different

LOL no, this is entirely false
Broken Windows Policing is a well-documented failure

Me, an idiot: here are 5 peer-reviewed empirical studies, including a metastudy compiling dozens more, showing that Broken Windows policing doesn't work

ok, I'll correct it: a blog post written by a university professor https://twitter.com/izengabe_/status/1296834217729458177
And they're even lower on a per capita basis b/c NYC has grown substantially over that same time window https://twitter.com/partialmitch/status/1296836093782843392
I've got a longer list somewhere for a paper I wrote ages ago, just have to remember where I put it#
There are a *lot* of studies on how poorly Broken Windows Policing worked https://twitter.com/chriswb71/status/1296837471301402625
