Hold up on PPW

First reaction: Yay, another crime in my immediate neighborhood.

Second reaction: That tiny little hole in the wall had $200?

Good grief on both accounts.

Serious question: Has this been going on for the past few years and we just didn't know about it because we weren't reading Brooklynian? Or are things getting worse?

that sucks.

Also on Saturday night, at about 8 p.m., the organic bodega on 8th Ave. and 12th Street was also robbed. I saw a bunch of cop cars there and heard that a clerk was struck in the head with a gun by a woman (or couple of women).

72nd precinct: 718.965.6326. Call them and demand action.

Where the #$% is the 72 precinct?!

We've had murder, break-ins, stabbings, hold-ups, muggings and rape in and near our neighborhood… AND ALL IN ONE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day, on the way to Enzo's, my family will be spit on by a pestilent crackhead, then shot, robbed, and stabbed with dirty needles for good measure, while our apartment is simultaneously vandalized.

The week of our wake, the 72nd precinct will drive a car or two through our neighborhood once or twice to show action. People will shake their heads and move on with their lives. And the f..king vagrants at Bartel Pritchard will be free to yell, scream, and threaten decent, tax-paying, families.

The 72nd precinct's commitment to "keeping us safe" is shamefully lacking in and around Bartel Pritchard Square. And don't get me started on their turning a blind eye to the constant traffic danger caused by A-HOLES turning onto PPSW from all three lanes! If the cops put a man on that corner, they would be able to issue a ticket at EVERY CHANGING OF THE LIGHT!!

Have you been calling them yourself? What type of response have you been getting? Are you attending community meetings? Sometimes I find them tedious (people bring up all kinds of random shit, much of with has nothing to do with police), but important to show up anyway and try to hold their feet to the fire
