The inability of the police to report crimes because of political purposes is disturbing. The fact that Mayor Bloomberg would try to make himself and his city look better by underreporting on crime is a very disingenuous type of leadership: it indicates that people should lie and falsify claims in order to make the situation look better than it is. This is not how communities are transformed for the better, however. The police have a duty to serve and protect, and if the community feels it is not being served by them or is being underserved (because their issues are not being reported—such as shootings, assaults, attempted rapes and so on) then why is the community going to trust the police or its leadership? By urging the police to not report on so many crimes, the Mayor is undermining his own authority as well as that of the police department. It is evidence of a moral corruption within the authority structure and that corruption will trickle out in unwanted ways. This article is a reminder that it is always better to face facts and the reality of the situation than to try to mask that reality for political purposes or for personal reasons. People are not generally deceived by the facts on the ground and they can see with their own eyes what is happening—and that is bad for the relationship between the community and the police.
