Thank you Askonim for consistently staying in touch with the NYPD.
And by the way, this is the department that we so desperately need to keep us safe, and thank them for the tremendous cooperation and service the=y provide during Tishrei, and during the Kinusim.
That COL posts a list of the violent attacks on our neighbors in this community we see another session of smiling faces.
Perhaps its time for some concrete plan to address this violence rather than just another opportunity for community representatives to have their pictures taken
Enough is enough of the same people. Again photo ops. Cops are going around C. Heights just giving tickets and not going after criminals. Pics and smiles doesn’t help us.
More pictures…
I think we didn’t get enough.
Can we please get some more?????????????????????????
Crime is way up.
What better way to fight it then to award the police and put our pictures all over the internet.
We’re kind of tired of seeing the same NO NOTHING people smiling face all the time
For what, that every day somebody gets beat up, and nothing happens. Photo ops, smiling, same people, same result. We need different representatives and vaad , enough of the same.
Instead of taking pictures, do something productive!
