Try to pay attention. Again…

".. rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region…they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions..."

[Mr645]

Yea, means nothing when rape is up 50%, assault 70% and murder 117%

When the largest city in the USA removes police from the subway trains due to budget cuts.

From your NY Times link

"Crime in New York has declined drastically since 1990, when there were 2,245 killings and more than 5,000 people shot. Last year, there were about 320 murders."

Yes there has been an increase in shootings this past year, as guns proliferate again, but we are nowhere near the violent crime levels of the 80s. Most of us dont want to go there again.
Let's do something about all these guns.

No, we're not at the levels before Cuomo was in charge and made huge improvements in safety in the city. But with the defunding of police and the changes driven by DeBlasio last 18 months the violence is increasing rapidly.

I'm not sure that it's what you are implying, but it's important to be careful about making cause and effect claims - in this case making a claim that reducing police funding caused an increase in homicides:

Though many of America’s biggest cities are run by Democrats, the rise in killings is a bipartisan problem. Homicides are rising at a double-digit rate in most of the big cities run by Republicans, including Miami, San Diego, Omaha, Tulsa, Okla., and Jacksonville, Fla., as well as in cities run by Democrats and in the two major cities run by Independents: San Antonio and Las Vegas.
