A description of an incident this morning:

At the time of the above description, an arrest was not made, however I have since seen reports that an arrest was made:

From reading the article, which admittedly may be one sided, it appears that these cops are throwbacks to the Dinkins administration and are more worried about riots than justice.

The cops may have ultimately been given the go ahead by their superiors.

...I certainly would not want to be a new cop responding to such a call, and unsure whether my superiors would back me, regardless of whether I arrested the youth or didn't.

A very sad PC reality world we live in...

From the article: " To make matters worse, police officers refused to take action and as of this moment have still not charged the assailant – citing fear of riots."

They really said that?

Did I step in a time machine and go back 25 or so years?

The Crownheights.info article states: "By the time police officers showed up, a very large crowd gathered, but officers were reluctant to take any action, some citing the fear of riots while other officers saying that they need to conduct an investigation."

In terms of the time machine, the dnainfo article seems to make me conclude this incident is not especially unique. If one were to catalog the incidents over the last 25 years, I don't know whether you would see increases and decreases.

...and whether such incidences go through periods in which they are merely reported to the police and/or media less.
