...the worst is that the New York State Penal Code, Section 35.15 IIRC, states that one is allowed to use physical force, but not lethal force, to retrieve their stolen property, to prevent property from being stolen, to prevent assault or, to forcefully detain someone observed to have commited assault but, the cops would reliably arrest the person detaining the criminal, rather than the criminal, sometimes even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

If bail reform isn't going to be fixed (because bail reform essentially renders cops useless), then Section 35.15 needs to be upheld, so that citizens can fill in where cops aren't allowed to.

That guy in the photo reminds me of the scene in Blazing Saddles when Mongo punches the horse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8cDfnQD0ws.


But in all honesty that psycho looks weak and frail. Why didn't anyone kick his a$$? Throw his sorry butt on the ground and kick him in the ribs a few times. That will teach him. And I'm sure he'll think twice about acting up again after suffering a few cracked ribs.

Just fyi, that one is an actual policy, not cops ignoring you.

I don't know why anyone answers his ridiculous questions, but I can't stop it unless it breaks the ToS.

YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR.

If you are not happy with the way things are going in the city
look around. These are the people who voted and allowed this to happen.

If the same type of person ends up as Mayor come Novemeber 2 2021 then
ask yourself this second question.

Why am I still here living among the same people who voted for the same type of Mayor ?

So you got rear ended, why did you call the cops if the other person did not leave (hit & run)? You don't need a police report to file a claim. How bad was the damage, what was the estimate?
