Wikipedia has a telling graph of the murder rates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City#Murders....

40% up from pandemic lows sounds concerning, but we're still down near the bottom of a 30 year decline.

And from: https://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/crimnet/ojsa/stats.htm, NYC had anywhere from 120,000 to nearly 300,000 arrests each year from 2012 to 2021. 10 people abusing bail reform? 716 shooters? These numbers are many orders of magnitude lower than the number of people affected by crime and the criminal justice system in New York every year.
