COPS AT 7-11 ON ATLANTIC

??????

Wake up to reality.

The point is, the police are needed in many areas for many different reasons. But to say that they aren't needed as much in the high rent districts and needed more in the low rent districts is ludicrous.

Got it?

but why are you talking about rents in the first place? isn't CRIME the issue? go look at a crime map and compare central brooklyn to manhattan. what conclusions do you draw?

Can we please get back to the Slurpees.

yes yes. slurpees are there and they are delicious.

coke, red, green, and blue flavors

High rent areas = A significant amount of people who are high on the food chain who have made their money by eating the results of those who are beneath them on the food chain.

If you read "Complicity: How the North promoted, prolonged and profited from slavery" you will see the names of almost all of the prominent and high esteemed persons, families, businessmen and financial institutions. These are many of the folks living in the high rent districts. (i.e. defunct Lehman Brothers).

If you are applauding all of the mechanisms of Darwinian philosophy, then your first post was sufficient.

If you are a Conservative who functions in the mode of those profiled in Jeff Sharlet's book "The Family", then you have exposed yourself.

If you align yourself with the ravenous modality of Bernie Madoff, the I pray for you.

The purpose of my post was the fact that
1. We are being governed (locally) by a billionaire who has not kept his word
2. We get the government that we demand
3. Our collective taxes count for more than we are receiving

In your opinion.

Many? I'd say more like "a few".

Really? How much do you pay in taxes?

IMO, it's not the amount of $ that's the problem.

guess why?

they weren't needed!

Why weren't they needed?

Looks to me that most of the crime occurs in the high rent district known as Manhattan.

hahaha

damn, manhattan looks ROUGH. why would anyone want to live there??

As for Mr. Boyyee:

Your original question was about policing. If you REALLY wanted answers to the questions you posed, you wouldn't post them in a blog; you would ask questions at whatever you thought was the proper venue. If you had already posed those questions to the proper persons, then you might have shared their answers with this thread. So you either haven't done that, or you are selfish.

As for my writing style, I assumed that you could follow a thread. If it seems disconnected to you, so be it. I will continue to try to treat you as though you are an adult.

As for MeredithB, just because you are (obviously) aged doesn't mean that you possess any true wisdom. People truly seeking wisdom know that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

The original problem stated by Mr. Boyyee was about improper policing. Police, like all other people in power, can be prone to abuse. If you saw them abusing their power, then you shouldn't be writing about it here. If you want to know why NYPD deploys their troops the way the do, get involved.

So to you the only crime that matters is homicide?

I'd say you and mr. met should stop blaming the cops.

This said cops at 7-11. I started reading to find out their are very few sightings of NY finest downing any Big Gulps and some of those yummy rolling burger weenies. If you think cops should do busy work, which I think they should you have to give them the tools. Example, when I was young and caught with a bag of weed with my silly friends the cop poured our pot in the sewer, called us a bunch of non thinking DB punks and gave us a free ride to our front doors and some hand and head shaking between cops and parents with the hope of making me a better citz. Cops can't do squat to clean up the streets without involving the court system. No taps on the head for non thinkers, one post in here has a woman tell the cops she won't ID a shooter in a murder case, different and crazy times. Subway clerks won't come out of the booth to help a rape victim. We should expect some public service from our public servants cops are bad but they are no worse than any of the other lazy cash collectors.

They constantly pour from one half full pot into another half empty pot so they can start a new one. 30 minutes later, half of the new pot gets mixed in with half of the old pot and before you know you it....sludge.

...hope the Slurpees are better.

They better not be saving all the good slurpee machines for the high rent districts!

thanks for saving me the hike!
