Buffalo Mayor: ‘Revolving door’ of criminals to blame for shootings

Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown is calling out the judicial system for what he sees as a “revolving door” of criminals responsible for a large number of the shootings in the city.
The Buffalo News reported the mayor said the 23 percent increase in shootings last year can largely be attributed to a group of repeat offenders that seem to rotate in and out of the prison system.
Brown noted Buffalo police recovered 840 firearms last year and arrested around 600 people related to gun charges. Approximately one-third of those arrested on gun charges were repeat offenders.
“The frustration that our police department feels is that, to a degree, there is a revolving door,” Brown said.
“There’s certainly a breakdown in the system that doesn’t occur at the Buffalo Police level,” he added, declining to offer any further solutions to the problem.
According to a Buffalo News analysis of police data, Buffalo saw 566 shootings in 2016, a 23 percent increase when compared to the average from 2011 to 2015.
Shootings are especially prevalent in the city’s east side, where one-third of the population resides. Brown said law enforcement officials believe the shootings are being perpetrated by a small number of bad actors that do not represent the greater community they terrorize.
“It is a small percentage of people involved in a large percentage of the crimes,” he said.
Brown said he has seen first-hand the effects of the cycle of violence on his visits to many shootings victims in hospitals and family homes around the city.
“It is a painful thing,” he said, “and we need people in the community who are in this cycle to understand that the cycle causes pain for not only themselves but for their families.”

More like revolving fake shooting stories with ridiculous fake crisis actors that can telll you the exact gun manufacturer and model from a half block away! I kid you not! Check out crisis actor Owen Britain, note the ridiculous fake name like James FOLEY, or John Can’t-LIE, and one of the latest obvious made up name Reality Leigh Winner! When they use ridiculous and obvious fake names sheeple, then you best start seeing thru the MSM and govt propaganda pieces
Oh, and let’s take Ron Paul’s own words! He said that the POLICE were right there from the beginning! After all all criminals wanting to do the most damage would obviously do it when there are multiple armed police surrounding the guys you want to kill!? ROFLAO! Think about that sheeple! Why would police even need 50 rounds to take this guy out!? let alone tell the public I’m their press conference they can’t tell you anything outside of who was shot IF they were there from the beginning? They would know what the heck happened cause they had over a dozen cops right there waiting for this drill to go down! Just as stupid as telling us that these politicians go practice baseball at 7 am, and some guy living in an Illinois cornfield would drive all the way to D.C. Park at that time to shoot people off after verifying who was in the field! I’m so fed up with these Cornier than hallmark movie stories,
Airportengineer … I have to admit Reality Winner being one of the leakers of classified information did seem a bit over the top. It’s almost as if this girl was generated out of some brainwashed propaganda machine.
