masses of people from those areas take the mta daily why would i not include them and even if i didn't, the population is still nearly triple berlin's so my point still stands

Honestly the arguments I’m reading ITT are making it seem like NYC as a whole and the people in it are beyond saving.

Which one do yall want a police state or no police
The answer is always somewhere in the middle police cant be everywhere at all times
Unless you know, want a police state

They’re still looking into it. I was on a train near union square when I heard about it. Stay safe Brodie!

fair

You’re literally from Europe why are you even ITT?

in a city where over 1,000 police officers were added to Subway duty this year, it's pretty obvious why this is the discussion yes.

"who did this and why" is just speculative at this moment there's no reason for it

We’re people itt wanting less cops? I thought they were just saying adding more cops isn’t the solution

Thanks for agreeing that they’ve done nothing of value 👍

is he? LMAO

Yes he is

Yea lol

They said this about school Shootings too. The cops there didn’t do anything to stop them. Movie theaters, malls etc. There’s been times the cop ran away. What then? You act like police are the marines ready to give their life for anything and went through intense physical training. It’s a cop.

@Osey

Absolutely. It’s also about public perception of safety

Women and the elderly do not feel safe on the subway rn. Especially Asian women.

More officers on the platform helps put their minds at ease. That alone is worth it.

Man you from Europe!! 😂

It hurts because that budget should be put elsewhere until the laws are figured out to allow police to do their job to begin with. If they can only intervene after a crime has happened it's not prevention. At that point you're burning money. Most crime at this point is happening in sharp moments on subways or in like hit & runs. What if a cop leaves the post to chase someone down who just did a crime and then someone else commits one? This is the actual rate of crime we're talking about here. Current NYPD strategy legitimately cannot legally focus on prevention, they are legally required to only be responders, making their presence almost a waste of time. I'm sure police presence will stop petty crime, but most of this stuff isn't petty crime

Didnt know all inhabitanrs of europe are white, tell me more

Nah man wtf this s*** crazy

I’m not listening to music on the train anymore

NYC legit Gotham city right now

Goon in here spazzing out as usual

I seen some crazy b**** get pretty calmly arrested immediately the other day because she was threatening to shove someone on the tracks lol

Yeah my girlfriend needs to carry pepper spray everywhere she goes in NYC as of late. She works in the city and gets harassed like three times a week

bro comparing train stations to school shootings, movie theaters, malls. pretty sure nyc hasn't had any of the latter in decades so idk wtf is this comparison
