Didn’t one of the NYPD officers get shot by another office while trying to intercept someone who was unarmed but had skipped paying the fare? Seems like New Yorkers might have a good reason.
He had a knife, had stated he was going to kill them, and was allegedly charging at them. Apparently they also used tasers on him but they were ineffective. But otherwise yes, safety is one factor.

I suspect that hostility towards mask wearing and lack of maintenance due to the governor blocking congestion pricing are a much bigger deal
