I see them shouting "Jail Killer Cops". Beginning with Bratton and Rudy, NYC went from Dodge City and Fort Apache to a somewhat decent place in comparison. I remember the heroin supermarket on 116th and Lenox. I remember drug use out in the open everywhere. I remember gang violence before it went to LA. I remember the disconnect of the NYPD and the people especially in the bad neighborhoods. It led to the Knapp Commission. The South Bronx, Bed Stuy and Harlem were in a state of siege. Four locks on the door, clubbed cars with NO RADIO signs, crack vials strewn everywhere, hooker streetwalkers as far as the eye could see, vagrants and Times Square looked like the Apocalypse
If cops stand down to save their jobs and feed their families, they will. Civilians will have to deal with the results

I remember drinking a beer in a brown paper bag sitting on a park bench while watching NYFD attend to a fire at Gimbles.... Yes I am old.
My dad worked in an office building by Bryant Park. That area today does not resemble the open area drug market it used to be. 42nd Street walk from the Ports Authority was like a scene out of Mad Max. Today, it's Disney Land by comparison.

Even after we moved to a small town we still drove to NYC every weekend to visit the Grandparents, went to college there in the mid 70"s.
So what I learned was, Doors need at least 4 or 5 deadbolt locks, if you step out even for a second you lock that sucker. Grandma carried a paring knife taped to her arm every time she stepped outside. Police, Mafia and thugs had guns, law abiding ones did not. You learn where NOT to go if White, same if Black. I recently went to Google earth and looked at the Schlobohm Houses where I spent my early years, a disaster. My parents lived there long enough to get some money saved for a nicer place. Most did not. Fond memories of the corner market where I used to buy 5 cent ice cream cups, the ones with the little wooden spoon, it is now covered in EBT WIC accepted and Arizona Tea ads. |

Which is why all these pampered upper middle class OWS types exist. Their moral outrage is constructed by the Critical Thoery social sciences narrative taught in the schools and universities of today. They are so fucking detached from the causes of social strife and decline, because the ones selling them the narrative are the ones creating the problems. Force feeding them decades old discounted economic and social science theories. |

When I was a kid, my mother took me to the '64 worlds fair, NYC was getting grungy and dangerous. I avoided it and watched it fall apart in the '70s on the NYC news stations.
I had to go to midtown Manhattan in the mid 80s. I remember stepping over homeless drunks and seeing one sleeping in the rotating doors of a business. By the early 90s, there were 2 cops on every corner, and less of everything bad. By '95 even the squeegee bandits were gone. Its just a perfect time for the cycle to shift back to chaos. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: To be fair, every big city had the same problems. Dallas for example. For a while there, Houston PD shot someone every three DAYS on average. Google "shotgun squads" [span style='color: blue;']The shotgun squads involved dangerous stakeouts during which officers would camp out for hours at a convenience store or restaurant, often in less than desirable conditions, and wait for a shooter. Although it seems like an undesirable job, Janich says the officers usually jumped at the opportunity for overtime and extra money. Sometimes the officers would sit in dark alcoves, storage rooms or freezers, and they joked that the process was "seven hours of boredom and three seconds of sheer terror when confronting a hijacker,” according to a retired sergeant, T. Wafer, who picked up shifts with the shotgun squad whenever he could. "Back then, they shot felons. You came in, boom, they shot you. They didn’t mess around. Different time, different place.” Wafer was eventually promoted to supervisor, surveying possible shooting locations. "I had walls and two-way mirrors installed at the sites’ expense,” Wafer says. "They wanted the protection for their employees. We had chairs installed and other things to make an officer comfortable in these long, boring stakeouts.” When the time came, the officers didn’t hesitate to shoot the robber where he stood. - http://lakehighlands.advocatemag.com/2014/10/dallas-police-history-shotgun-squads/#sthash.Tvmv026u.dpuf[/span] Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I didn't realize it was so shitty back then.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What these idiots need, the white ones, is to go to ferguson and walk around that neighborhood with the people their are supporting. They need to get the beat down of their life and maybe they would understand that they are fucking retarded for trying to play the holier than thou game and see where the racism is really coming from. Some how though, I doubt they'd get it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I see them shouting "Jail Killer Cops". Beginning with Bratton and Rudy, NYC went from Dodge City and Fort Apache to a somewhat decent place in comparison. I remember the heroin supermarket on 116th and Lenox. I remember drug use out in the open everywhere. I remember gang violence before it went to LA. I remember the disconnect of the NYPD and the people especially in the bad neighborhoods. It led to the Knapp Commission. The South Bronx, Bed Stuy and Harlem were in a state of siege. Four locks on the door, clubbed cars with NO RADIO signs, crack vials strewn everywhere, hooker streetwalkers as far as the eye could see, vagrants and Times Square looked like the Apocalypse If cops stand down to save their jobs and feed their families, they will. Civilians will have to deal with the results http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/535666749.jpg?w=720&h=480&crop=1 http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/dsc_0998-31.jpg?w=720&h=480&crop=1 What these idiots need, the white ones, is to go to ferguson and walk around that neighborhood with the people their are supporting.

They did a great job of cleaning the city up over the years. I wonder how long until the new mayor lets it sink back into the shitter.

'70s and '80s? Yep. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I wonder if any of the cops from that era are still working for the NYPD '70s and '80s? Yep. In what capacity? I would assume all administrative, at this point, right? Any still doing patrol? |
