On June 2, a crowd of Brooklyn elected officials gathered at Restoration Plaza in Bed-Stuy to launch Gun Violence Awareness Month, with Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, and Council Members Chi Ossé and Crystal Hudson on hand. The numbers behind the photo were genuinely good: year-to-date shootings citywide were down about 6 percent, and Brooklyn led the city with a 47.6 percent drop in shooting incidents. The thing worth a second look is who was throwing the event.
