Someone should organize a large group of people to get together & put on dark clothes, black boots & chunky belts to get out of the subway together at that stop & just mill around for a while.
Beginning to think the reason so many cops are quick to shoot rather than peacefully engage is because of the distance required for them to rush over an intervene. It's easier to stand in one place and shoot than to jog.
spent almost 25 yrs in brooklyn but rarely took the subway & if i did it was the G or L so i don't recognize that station...little to no respect for the NYPD
And they just stand there. I see them in almost every subway station. They don't move. I've seen people jump a turnstile while the cop was facing the other way. We don't need more cops. We need cops to actually patrol instead of standing in one spot like security guards.
They just had an article where like 10 cops cost them in legal stuff as much as 2% of the annual riders. Thay wasn't even all the legal costs. It wouldn't take many to cover the cost to make it all free. They could even afford upgrades!
I'd be interested in the cost of the transit cops pretending to catch fare-dodgers against the cost of lost fares in their absence. Something tells me we're spending a buck to save a dime.
And imagine how much money could be saved if the entire public transit was fare-free.
Um, I mean for one, libraries don't just have old books they have new books too. They generally also have e-book library access. They also typically have a Library of Things, events, room rental, and a thousand other things. Libraries are not just old books. Never have been, certainly aren't now.
NYPD starting salary is between $29 and $30/hour, but more than doubles by 5.5 years on the job. Including benefits and payroll taxes, $2,000 seems like the right range.
Yeah, you can see by the stripes on a couple of the guys on the left that they've been on the force for over 10 years.
I'd also calculate overtime plus pension into the hourly rate.
I'm glad we're in agreement.
Fill a bag with flower or some white powered substance that's harmless, then have a "trip" and dump the bag on an officer and say "Oh shit, I'm so sorry, but that's fentanyl."
Then watch every cop in the vicinity drop and others shout "I need NARCAN ASAP!"

hooligans in uniform
i have zero sense of direction & i mean zero, so when i took the subway i'd often get on the wrong train so i avoided it
the subway union said “can the existing transit cops please be on the platforms instead of pretending to catch fare-dodgers”
the response from the terrible Governor was to send in National Guard
the response from the terrible mayor was to send in NYPD
And imagine how much money could be saved if the entire public transit was fare-free.

But I already have that at home. I don't need to physically go to a building anymore to look something up.
I did that enough when the internet didn't exist yet.
I don't need to do that anymore.
How many people still have a landline these days?
(Slides a box of donuts with just one left in the middle of the room.)

Except I think that would probably be kind of expensive to waste on NYPD....
*runs*

Then brick it up.
