Shooting

Yep, I heard something. Victim is dead.

What time were these shootings???

"Haven't seen anything in the news, guess it's not that big of a deal--especially since there were also shootings at Lincoln/Nostrand and Bergen/Albany in CH yesterday"

This seems like a big deal; nothing else reported?

Good place to build condos - they are going up on St. Marks and Bergen just west of Franklin.

The shootings at Albany Houses and Franklin Ave were both around 8:00pm and the Nostrand Ave shooting was sometime in the morning (not sure of exact time).

LOCK YOU BLOCKS

Also, I can't say I loved the police response to this. I walked out to find cops everywhere but they seemed less than interested in surveying the scene or making the scene feel safe. I asked one in a bunch of four cops what had happened and he was like "Someone was shot" and kept on strolling down the block with his buddies. Gee, thanks, I thought.

Wake up. The cops think that anyone who lives here is an animal.

If that was their goal, they could have taken time to inquire whether I had seen or heard anything, perhaps?

Perhaps since you were asking them what happened, they thought you didn't know what happened.

Right. Because clearly if I didn't see the individual actually being shot I may not have heard or seen anything prior to or after the shooting that may have been helpful investigating the crime....

Then maybe you would say "Officer I don't know if this is useful information, but I heard the shots and saw a man running down the block with a gun in his hand" BTW, What happened?

Damn those wily criminals and their ability to walk unimpeded across a street.

We should shoot out the cross walk lights. That may work.

If they stopped to converse with everybody that asks "what happened" no investigation would ever occur. Please for a minute just stop and consider how many people ask the same question every time there are a few cops in the area.

am, what does "make the scene feel safe" mean? It's either safe or not safe. It usually only takes a few minutes for responding officers to determine if somebody was hurt, how badly they were hurt, how they were hurt, if there is an ongoing threat to public safety and if there is possible evidence that could be destroyed. After that it's a matter of everybody showing up so they can say "Oh, yeah, I was at that shooting" or "make sure you put so-and-so on the report as notified."
