You really think the police don’t know when someone gets pushed onto the tracks? Anyway: > There were 10 murders on the subway in 2024, up from 3 in 2019. Peo

You really think the police don’t know when someone gets pushed onto the tracks? Anyway: > There were 10 murders on the subway in 2024, up from 3 in 2019. People were pushed onto the tracks 25 times in 2024. Meanwhile, car crashes killed 253 people in 2024 — 10× the number of track pushings and 25× the number of subway murders, according to your data. People appeal to emotion with lurid stories like the woman burned alive because the whole “the subway is dangerous!” narrative falls apart when you actually look at the data (and frankly when you actually ride it).

Not always! If the suspect doesn't stay on scene and the victim goes to the hospital but declines to prosecute, which MOST people do in NYC, like magic, there is no crime committed. You have to love all the misguided stats from everyone OUTSIDE NYC. Go do a ride alone with CA, let us know how well you sleep after a full tour.

  Meanwhile, I’m sure there are absolutely no hit-and-runs in NYC. Every time a pedestrian gets injured, the police diligently log and investigate it. You’re a cop, right? You should start by taking a look at the magical crime-free zone right in front of your precinct, where your car can block a fire hydrant or the sidewalk, and parking tickets don’t exist.

    Police don't make the laws, we enforce them. Currently if you are in an accident with a pedestrian, and you don't leave the scene, even if there is a fatality, there is nothing more than a summons issued, even if the pedestrian has right of way. NYC is a Democrat supermajority and has been for decades. They just made jaywalking legal, not that I've ever written a jaywalker in over 14 years. Another NYC rule is that on police streets, where there is a precinct, it is self enforcement and the CO of the command has the final say. Nothing stopping you from pressing the NYC City Council from changing the rules or the law.

      Police enforce some laws against some people some of the time. The “self enforcement zones” you’re describing don’t make parking on the sidewalk any less illegal — they just mean the cops there can allow themselves to break the law.
