There was a whole ass army in the WTC oculus station last time i was there for obvious reasons 😂

But yeah other than those ive rarely seen them as well

that's right.

cause marginalized communities don't ever use train stations.

i don’t know much about NYPD so why do they get so much funding then?

Do you think train stations float in the ether?

Yo I was stop away from when this happened this morning

Just got home because trains were shut down and I couldn’t make it to work, I said f*** it and went home

I agree, but the issue is that money is a complete non-sequitur, removing that money or changing the amount of police doesn't really have any correlation to crime. You need to rework what legal boundaries the organization can act within for them for them to be effective, no matter if it's a $1 budget of a $1B budget. currently they could do the same thing on $1 as they could on their current budget because they have no purpose

They’ve barely done anything. Experience on the train in July of last year and today is nearly identical. The only thing they did was add the “Please stand back from the edge until the train has arrived at the station” announcement which plays like 3x in a row. That’s the only noticeable difference.

Prayers to the victims damn man way too much craziness going on as of late

I’m kinda interested to see what would happen if we took police out of every subway station/platform in NYC

Like how many more robberies, sexual assaults, shootings, etc would need to occur than normal for people to be like “hmmm that didn’t quite work”

hope this helps

Bro someone is gonna be less likely to randomly push an old lady down the stairs or shoving a woman into an oncoming train if police officers are literally standing right there

If nothing else at least they’ll be apprehended immediately

In what way does having officers on the platform hurt? If you can’t answer that then there’s no real reason for them not to be there. It just makes sense

Never ceases to amaze me how yall manage to make anything a debate

Damn, y'all didn't even wait till page 10 to have the "we should have done this to prevent it" discussion.

We skipping past the reporting and prayers.

Idk if I like the efficiency lol

because the US is assbackwards and different segments of governemnt control different things. The same people passing the laws aren't the people making the budgets. So some people want more budget because they think money = less crime so they aprpove giving more budget, but then others pass laws restricting what they can do with that budget. Then years apss and those laws can't be repealed so then you end up with a useless bureaucracy. This isn't just in cops, it happens in every public sector.

Are they? Especially in new york

It would be absolute insanity. I had to travel out to Long Island a few times during the pandemic while they were still building the Moynihan train hall. Penn Station was a ghost town and was literally witnessing assaults take place on a regular basis with nobody there to do anything about it

trust me i know where these places are. i live in nyc.

i do not feel like referencing the greater metro areas population in this comparison is valid as none of the places you mentioned use the MTA

young fashioned only used those numbers to make his argument more compelling.

what else would the discussion about this event be?

Thots & prayers

How u want less cops at a station.. yall must live on the internet and far away from nyc lol

how efficient is prayers my guy

Idk I wouldnt expect law enforcement funding tho
Who did this, why

This is literally relevant to the issue at hand

Anyone has info on what happened? I know it was a shooting, but I don’t know much because I was trying to get home

Was literally stop away from that station when s*** went down tf

S*** hit close to home

That's what I'm saying lol. Now that we're past that point, idk how I feel about it
