COPS AT 7-11 ON ATLANTIC

A reem of paper and gel pens ain't ever going to murder anyone.

:roll:

Wake up to reality.

Wake up to reality.

i'm not sure if you're joking. if you're not, why don't you answer the question i asked you above? the one about what your point is.

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?

And to think that all there is to steal in the high rent district is office machinery, a reem of paper and gel pens is really out of touch with 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.

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?

also, why are you only worried about theft?

like i said above, what about drug dealing, murder, shootings, etc.?

when i lived on the upper east side, i never saw the police.

guess why?

they weren't needed!

Can we please get back to the Slurpees.

Can we please get back to the Slurpees.

yes yes. slurpees are there and they are delicious.

do they have cherry/strawberry flavor? ...aka "red flavor"

coke, red, green, and blue flavors

Ummmmmmmmmmmm

"High rent" areas = little to no crime
"Low rent" area = a lot of crime

Cops respond to and protect areas from crime

Seems ur theory is wrong

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

You've done a fine job at alienating yourself.

If you read a book called, "Making Allusions to Texts Without Explaining Them and Using Syntactically Confusing Phrases," I think you'll see that all those "C" grades you received on papers in college were because your professors had no clue what you were talking about.

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.

crime map of New York

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??

Uhm... http://projects.nytimes.com/crime/homicides/map

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.

MOD NOTE

ENOUGH.

if you cannot disagree civilly, find somewhere else to be rude to each other.

if you've engaged in name-calling or the like on this thread, consider yourself warned that further behavior in that vein will result in your account being put on time-out.

please also take the time to read the rules of the board.

thank you.

So to you the only crime that matters is homicide?

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

Hey, I was reading up on SpotCrime.com and apparently its information is derived from local residents offering up information on a crime in the neighborhood. It is not based on police reports and actual crime activity.

Perhaps more people in Manhattan are using this website, but that has little or no indication that SpotCrime is accurate. According to that website, there have only been 5 crimes in Central Brooklyn this past year. Doesn't that seem grossly inaccurate?

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 really need to learn how to brew a pot of coffee at that 7-11. 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!

Since you mentioned it. They slurpees seem a little watery. I blame it all on Dick Cheney.

thanks for saving me the hike!
