As an American citizen and expat formerly of New York City, I am infuriated and ashamed by this report.
A large part of my anger falls upon the "Defund the Police" crowd. Have a good look at our future.
I don't understand all the commentary about race and ethnicity. If they catch the guy he should get 30 years to life. I don't give a flyin' **** about his race, religion, poor economic background, lousy living conditions, deprived childhood, temporary emotional state, abusive parents, lack of opportunity, ............... (the list is infinite).
