Violence like today's slashing on 86th St. is happening too often. It is awful & people are frightened. Need more police patrols. I credit @nycmayor.bsky.social for restoring 2 NYPD classes & appointing Jessica Tisch as PC. NYPD must treat mental health as key to public safety. Need more psych beds.
