So indicative of the problem with policing today - if cops won’t do their jobs for fear of being filmed and scrutinized (laughable since few actually get disciplined or terminated), then it holds that the complaints about policing are salient.
Easy problem to solve, but as Churchill said, “America will do the right thing after it tried everything else” - or something similar.
I’d rather this be a certainty than a possibility.

All said, I don’t feel unsafe on the subway, but I do feel annoyed. Was at Penn on the yesterday and saw a hobo harassing a skater to the point he’s on one of the help phones calling for help while there’s 4 Blue Bloods I passed above ground at 34th/7th watching pedestrian traffic vs being in the station (which already has/had too much vice going on).
We need a separate transit police back - was a dumb decision by Giuliani to merge NYCTA Police with NYPD.
Also, where are those 500 police Cuomo imposed?
