EXCLUSIVE: 'Let's be real the city is in freefall.' NYPD union boss blames 'feckless' Bill de Blasio and his 'imbecilic' police reform laws for the Times Square shooting and turning NYC into a Wild West frontier town

  • In his exclusive essay for DailyMail.com, SBA president Ed Mullins blames Mayor Bill de Blasio and fellow officials for New York City's descent into lawlessness 
  • The Big Apple, which is still reeling from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, has also been experiencing an uptick in crime and violence 
  • It faced further turmoil in the summer when protesters took to the streets on a near nightly basis urging officials to defund the police
  • In a highly controversial move last July, the city ultimately agreed to cut $1billion from the NYPD budget
  • According to Mullins, 'the 2020 "reform" package has done nothing but kneecap the police and increase violent crime to levels not seen since the early 1990s' 
  • Shootings in the city have risen by 166 per cent from April 2020 to the same month this year
