A surge in gun violence has sparked calls for a return to tougher policing.
On a particularly violent weekend last July, a group of young men who had been engaged in a dispute with members of a rival gang shot up a cookout in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The gunfire wounded three young men and killed a 1-year-old boy, Davell Gardner Jr. Gardner’s death embodied the tragic toll of the current, historic surge in violent crime in New York City. Overall, shootings in the nation’s largest city rose by 97% from 2019 to 2020; murders rose by 45% over the same period.
