While there have been high profile incidents here and there, I think for the overwhelming majority of NYers the city feels pretty safe. When people stop "feeling" safe is when things turn RE wise. I know things happen here in Jackson Heights from time to time as an example, but I feel confident that I can go to Key Food at 2-3am and be okay. If that were to change then rents would reflect that.
You think so? Then why are threads like this getting made? Cause they think NYC's getting better?

People's perceptions and reality often are not the same thing. If they were everyone would agree that an officer being paid to protect and serve would do so with out claiming the officer was justified for all kinds of larger political arguments they are arguing in their own heads. Fact is, those who defend this officer would be mad as hell at that officer if he was in plain sight of a crime being committed against them or their family members and the officer chose not to respond. Now, you ask why are threads like this made as if that's and accurate representation of truth. I don't know, but CD, has become , or always has been, and I just woke up to it, a place of hyper partisan bickering. A place where people locked in to particular and perpetual arguments in their own minds come to reinforce their own positions, come to fester. That's why threads like this surface and resurface. Anger begets anger, fear perpetuates fear, and thread breeds thread of that nature.

Reason: Typo
You can deny that this incident is the reality of policing in the Bronx under your new vehemently anti-police DA, but it will remain so regardless. Let's just say that this wasn't a spontaneous occurrence. Cops who had not gotten the message on their own have recently received instructions on how to conduct themselves in the anti-police environment so as not to risk malicious prosecution.
Second incident where cops on the scene appear to ignore a crime in progress. This time a uniformed security guard is struggling with a shoplifter in front of a police SUV.
After closely examing the video. I can finally make out details. First off this type of news is clickbait and design to generate sensationalism. First off the security guard that is chasing the perp is not a security guard. The man that looks like a security guard is a Parkchester Peace officer which has police powers to make arrests on crimes committed on Parkchester grounds or even in surrounding areas if needed by NYPD which can ask for assistance. At times you will see Parkchester Police providing security and patrolling around Marshalls store, or stationed outside the store. This incident happened within the vicinity of the notorious 43rd precinct. This is nothing new guys. Take a visit at our Transportation hubs where multiple police agencies share patrol duties and see if NYPD, PAPD, MTAPD, Amtrak PD, NYS State Trooper chase down the same perp for stealing a bag of chips from Hudson News. The only time when law enforcement agencies work together is when looking for a missing person, dignitary or celebrity in the area, active shooter, or terror attack. When stealing something that has no real value, NYPD has other big fish to fry, Parkchester PD could have handled the perp.

If the guy was a Parkchester peace officer that is even worse because the NYPD didn't assist a fellow member of law enforcement. Clearly the uniformed officer/security guard was not in control of the situation. The NYPD at the scene weren't doing something more important. They were just parked.
This can happen anywhere. Expand your mind. I thought you knew better than this?
