NY Curtis Sliwa Holds Gangs Responsible For Shootings In New York City

NYPD officers and detectives investigate a bullet riddled car following a recent mass shooting as mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa blames the current administration for the lack of action in combatting gang shootings as they relate to illegal immigration during a press conference on August 2, 2021 in the Corona section of Queens a borough of New York City, USA. Sliwa discussed the importance of reinstating the recently dismantled NYPD gang unit and to increase cooperation among various federal agencies and the New York City Police Department. Other issues include keeping gang member database intact, erasing gang graffiti, no bail or parole for convicted gang members and to hire 3000 new police officers. (Photo by John Lamparski/NurPhoto)
