I have to be honest, he's not very intelligent for giving information ("snitching") to the police outside in broad daylight right in the middle of the street. He had to have seen that coming.
This might be the next leg up when it comes to increasing crime. We know how the release of the mentally disturbed into the streets messed up the city during the 70s. Now, when there are very few job opportunities and less police presence, they are releasing thousands of crack convicts. They will review them based on safety concerns, but you know this process will just get railroaded to unload as many of them from the federal responsibility.
I am not so sure about that. It is a few thousand people released into a country of 300+ million. I think we'll be ok....what brought the city (and almost every city across the country) down in the 70s had nothing to do with a few mentally disabled people.
I'm not surprised at all the younger generations are just making their own wild gangs most YGz I know are not Blood, Crip, or LK in the city anymore those LA and Chitown gangs are dying out here.
This is nothing new to NYC...in fact, it is a part of NYC life since the days of the Irish in the late 1800s. This is an excerpt from the article:
“A lot of them are friends who grew up together. They think up a name, and that’s their gang. It’s like the old days of the 1950s, when you had guys who defended their street corner.”
Back in the 50s there were gangs for everything, your block, your school, your building, your corner, your friends, by race, and on and on...and everyone was always battling everyone else..because..well..that's what kids do. And the reality is there were alot more "gangs" back then than now. This story is all hype.
that was a long one. looks like she trespassed did not have id.
looks like they took her in for trespass.
she might of done some name calling. any alcohol involved?
3 am? what do you think???
does this mean NYPD are pigs? maybe u could be right but false arrest, i dont think so.
As Zucker waited in her cell for her court appearance, she heard NYPD employees marvel that the arresting officer didn't permit her the opportunity to have a friend retrieve her ID. At another point, Zucker says, she heard two NYPD staffers say that the arresting officer--identified as Officer Durrell of the 26th District in Zucker's police records--had a "short fuse."
Yes your title is completely justified even with this quote directly taken from the article! Good job!!
It is pretty clear that the NYPD has a lack of real leadership, although the problems surfacing lately are nothing new, they are just exposed. The NYPD needs a fundamental change in its policy, end the police state and subjugation of residents, and work with the community, not against it.
We are presumed guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the NYPD.
Yes...and when it happens to you, repeatedly, I am sure you will get over it too...huh? For the record, there is no crime if you don't carry ID. This cop was on a pure power trip, nothing more, and others in the precinct know it and tolerate it...because...otherwise you are a "snitch" and your career is ruined if you speak up. His supervisor should have reprimanded him, and let her go.
That is the dysfunction that is, and always has been, the NYPD.
