Are you suggesting this hasn't been Embroider by the left wing anti-cop narrative, or is it just another summer of love?

I think it's that and the cops are intentionally not doing their jobs like a bunch of unionized passive aggressive POS's who know they can't get fired.

The NYPD has zero excuse, it's one of the safest large cities in the US. You need to go out of your way to get killed there, this isn't the 80's or early 90's anymore.

...I hope the message is received by the president and he sends in the right people to put an end to this forever.
Right. Because once Trump gets it to 'the right people' it will stop murderers from murdering. What are 'the right people' going to do? Make more laws against murder?

We have a culture problem. Not any color or ethnic group.... our culture. It is ours, we own it.
Not my culture.
Not the asian's culture
Not the jewish culture
Lets call it for what it is.
The black community is demanding they have their own culture (hell, you can't even wear dreads unless you are black as its...well you know).
9% of the country (black males between 18-40) commit 50% of the murder in America.
This is the culture you speak of.
The voices that need to be elevated are people like Candice Owens (even though I cringe at some of her content, overall she is a stellar example of what black women can be). The pushback to that are people calling her a uncle tom, a coon, etc etc because she has right wing views, however she has yet to be bested in her debates.
I would support her run for presidency (and I am not fond of republican dogma...especially when it comes to social views. (I am cool with libertarian views though)
Yes, it is a culture. One I am not a part of, nor most people. This culture targets a specific demographic and seems to be glorified in media, entertainment, pop culture in general, etc. Its sad, because its a hijacked culture. In the MLK days, respect and strength in the black community was top. Now it seems to be once again sliding back into gangster praise. (I thought the 90s/2000s nearly wiped that out. Makes you wonder who is behind this. aging radicals wanting to be relevant again?)
When more people like Candice and others like The Officer Tatum get a bigger spotlight, you may see a shift in culture in the young black man's culture.
sidenote: I find Trump a despicable human being, however I think this presidency might have woke up more black folks to the actual issues in their own community just from the extreme rhetoric and a soul searching. Sometimes the loudest sounds comes from a dying narrative...so I guess we needed Trump to highlight the intent of the opposition.
I can only hope in time we have a political system that neither pushes left nor right ideology but instead researched and articulate positions with room for respectful and heard debates.

Except no cops lost their jobs in NYC. None. Those 600 were reassigned to higher crime neighborhoods, maybe like Claremont/Concourse where this happened. Except in cases like this it doesn't make a difference unless the cop is standing on that corner and the likelihood of that is next to nothing.
"Murders or crime in general is surging in a ALL of the anti-cop narrative cities."

I'm not going to claim this incident is staged but I do see signs of foreknowledge of what was about to go down from a couple of angles in the video. The camera operator seems to be aware in advance of what was about to go down IE who, what, where and when so all that's missing is the why. The guy on the pushbike also shows signs of waiting for something to happen.
I see other possibly questionable aspects to this but I haven't seen it mentioned here which is frankly a bit odd for ATS.

Pretty hard to gauge what is "normal" right now, cops or no cops..people been through lots, and acting out. I don't believe the shuffling around of personnel makes any difference as far as street beefs go.
