The NYPD says this summer has been the safest one in decades, but nearly half of New Yorkers aren’t happy with how Mayor de Blasio has dealt with crime. City Council members Jumaane Williams (District 45 in Brooklyn) and Vanessa Gibson (District 16 in the Bronx) weigh in on how the reduction in stop and frisk and the continuation of broken windows policing has affected crime this summer.

Now: looking at the numbers, crime is down. So why doesn't it feel that way? Joined by @NYCCouncil's @JumaaneWilliams + @Vanessalgibson.

Councilwoman @Vanessalgibson on #BrokenWindows: it’s an important crime-fighting tool, but we need equity in how it’s enforced.

@BrianLehrer Street Vendors are victims of #BrokenWindows. They are ticketed as much as $1000 per “violation”. Not ok if you see $1 tamales

.@JumaaneWilliams says he’s not in chorus encouraging @RepJeffries 2 run 4 mayor but supports him pushing issues like policing. @BrianLehrer
