- xcrunner529 2y agoWhat about the migrant killed? NYT didn’t even report it.
- lupusreal 2y agoYeremi Colino, 17, stabbed to death in a fight between two street gangs. The police have published photos of the murderers but evidently nobody in that community wants to say anything about who they are. NYPD claims they are putting resources into catching them, but how was the CEO killer caught? Some random member of the public turned him in.
- bb88 2y agoYes and unfortunately there's a saying that goes something like snitches get stitches. Talking to the cops is the last thing many people want to do.
- spwa4 2y agoWhich is just another way of saying that the police will not protect informants or regular citizens from many kinds of crime. The police say they're underfunded and cannot do so. Which makes this a policy decision.

(trying to keep any partisan links out of it, as there are MANY blaming one side or the other)
- lupusreal 2y agoHow do you really expect the police to do so? Even the secret service can't stop presidential candidates from getting shot at, and you can't possibly expect the police to provide anything approaching that level of security.
- spwa4 2y agoI'm pretty damn sure it's not impossible to do. Will it require changes to the police force, including in funding? Yes of course.
