The idiot is the deli clerk who sees a lowlife pull out a credit card with a woman's name on it, to use to buy one soda, and s/he doesn't ask to see his driver's license? WTH?

I don't know. If he/she had asked for the license before completing the transaction, wouldn't he just leave without the soda. This way at least the transaction was made with a date and time stamp and security footage obtained.

A rape in this country is reported every several minutes, I heard on tv recently.

It's all over the country. Not just in NYC.

Men are very angry at women these days for some reason.

He'd still be on security footage with a date and time stamp.

But I suppose you're right in that that wouldn't help with catching him.

But if clerks asked for that, it might stop SOME of the robberies, if it weren't so easy to use the credit cards.

I know, but certain crime stats like sexual assault have increased since de Blasio was voted in. Coincidence? Maybe. I think his view on cops has something to do with increased crime.

You gotta be a pretty good MMA student or carry some conceal weapon if you dare to even jog in Manhattan alone.

Just because NYC area is gentrified doesn't mean scumbags can't walk on the same area. Manhattan may not resemble the 90s but the crime is still very much alive and happening.

Once again, if concealed weapons are allowed this perp would be out cold by now. NYC has the dumbest gun laws where all the bad guys have weapons of all types and terrorizing the citizens that are held by un-constitutional gun laws.

They both say the same thing: Cops will go to a reasonable length to stop crime, including giving their lives if necessary, to protect the populace. But if the government that hires them won't let them use the tools that the law provides them to do their jobs, then the cops aren't going to go out there and just die for no apparent purpose.

This isn't really that difficult to figure out...
If someone hypothetically didn't have any warrants out for their arrest, but planned on raping someone how would SQF prevent that from happening?

And since you mentioned stats, how about the stats that show annually the majority of people SQF'd are found innocent of any wrongdoing?

That blame Deblasio for the Milky Way Galaxy's problem mantra isn't working. The very same crimes were committed (at similar, if not higher rates) while Mayor Bloomberg was in office, and he along with Ray Kelly allowed officers to use their "tools".

All due respect I feel that there were numerous times I prevented a crime from happening just by pulling up to someone and asking what is going on. You would be surprised that a perp knowing that you are out there watching stops a lot of bs happening. Now cops don't even bother to stop. Cops keep driving. Hey its not the cops problem its the innocents problem. Either way after 20 pay me!!!!
