New York City witnessed 15 shootings in 15-hours on Saturday as violence continues to surge in the Big Apple.
On July 1, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city council passed a budget, which included $1 billion cuts from the NYPD.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn't blame the cuts. Instead, she blamed unemployment "because struggling residents are forced to shoplift in order to 'feed their children.'"
