You cannot be..."native youths of color"?<br /><br />You cannot be serious, can you? "native"? So let me get this one straight, the only ones who should be allowed in the east village are "natives"?

There are fistfights every night up and down Avenue A, B and C. Knocking over trash cans, breaking car door mirrors etc are all crimes and the police should do something about it, instead of just shooing them away. The first time I met the former precinct commander he explained that we live in an entertainment area and that he saw the role of the police to make sure "our guests" arrive into the neighborhood and left the neighborhood safely. Let's hope the new guy sees them not as guest but as the marauding, rampaging idiots that they are.Rocky Raccoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16111226245303016677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-65383413325457908642012-02-23T11:59:04.444-05:002012-02-23T11:59:04.444-05:00The nightlife cops do tackle more serious crimes l...The nightlife cops do tackle more serious crimes like muggings, shootings and all that. They aren't just shushing people.

And try, try, try as I might, I just can't see it (and have never seen it). They just seem to get a permanent pass, these monsters, while our (often innocent) native youths of color suffer some of the worst racial profiling and a harrassment of our time.<br />It would be an ENORMOUS step in the right direction to restore SOME of the balance in our humble HOME here to have the police put some of this mardi gras nonsense in check... I strongly, emphatically support this effort and although few have been more critical than I of the NYPD especially this year, this would be a most welcome kind of policing that I am sure ALL residents would also welcome.glammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-74585316900835134712012-02-23T08:50:29.063-05:002012-02-23T08:50:29.063-05:00i like the idea of Sunday Brunch Conditions team. ...i like the idea of Sunday Brunch Conditions team. walking the beat, busting up the line at Prune...Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.com
