New York City

[happy-go_vol]

How much money would it take for you to be a cop? $100K? $150K? $200K? The city of Knoxville doesn't respond to non-injury auto accidents because they don't have the staffing, and it's not because the DA is releasing everybody like NYC and CA. It's the loss of respect from the "Cops are bad" push from the left promoted through MSM.
Law enforcement and teachers have historically been underpaid financially because they were held in high esteem which can be more important to some than money....

I still find it fascinating how leftist like, luther and LG, can't understand why people don't join the police. They cant make a correlation with their party bashing police and people not wanting to apply.

Unlike your side of the fence, which just takes personal insulting pot shots at one another, on our side of the fence we have earnest policy debates and leadership can disagree with the base without fear of being hanged at the Capitol Building.

That is such a weak ass response..I am giving you a pity like.

Me? None. I would never do it. You face lawsuits and even criminal second guessing from people under political pressure from the extremes.

ANd how long has this been the situation? Was it the cse in the 70's, 2000's or only been snowballing in the last 10 years

Dude, you support and defend a party who has made the police the enemy. No need to. As I say. You guys can't see a correlation.

Migrants use Charity Cash to Flee NYC when they can’t get into shelter

The city’s shelter system is too dysfunctional for these migrants!

Four asylum-seekers who braved trekking to the US-Mexico border — and across it — got so fed up waiting for beds in New York City that they used charity money to get out and head to Washington, DC, The Post has learned.

The unidentified men arrived in the Big Apple within the past three weeks and went to the city-run Bellevue Men’s Shelter, which also serves as an intake center for the Department of Homeless Services, sources said.

“They were either turned away or confused by the situation because there were a lot of people waiting for intake that day,” a source said.

The men — who don’t speak English — returned to the shelter “a few times” during about two and a half days in the city, but “ultimately they decided to go to Washington,” the source said.

They’d spent a night in the nation’s capital while traveling to New York and they used $50 gift cards they received from Catholic Charities to pay for their bus fares back there, the source said.

It’s all getting better since “the adults are in charge” now. At least now DC can experience what they’ve wrought on the rest of the country. Enjoy!

ANOTHER migrant bus arrives in NYC from Texas with 89 people on board - including five children: Father travels for a MONTH to get to Texas before boarding bus to New York - hopes to bring over his two children as Passengers Test Positive For COVID

A father traveled for over a month from Venezuela to Texas before boarding the bus to New York today with 89 other immigrants, including a family with a child as young as one.

He is one of several migrants on the bus today which arrived at Port Authority early on Friday morning as part of an ongoing political battle between New York Mayor Eric Adams and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

‘I am happy to be here. I have two kids back in Venezuela and once I am sorted here I hope to bring them over.'

An ambulance was also sent to wait at Port Authority for the migrants as one passenger is 'very, very sick' and needs medical attention.

Those on the bus have been tested for COVID and there have been 'a number of positive tests,' says Manuel Castro, who works in the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.

Some migrants on the bus were separated from their families before the trip and weren't aware they were headed to New York when they boarded the bus, including a man separated from his pregnant wife and children.

A woman and her baby were welcomed to New York after getting off the bus from Texas with nearly 90 other migrants on Friday morning

Over the weekend Abbott bused a 100-plus undocumented migrants from Texas to New York City so that they could use city support services

More migrants from Texas arrive in New York — some wearing US sports gear

Dozens of more migrants from Texas arrived on a bus Monday in Manhattan — with several getting off already donning iconic American athletic apparel, including a New York Yankees cap and a Michael Jordan jersey.

A charter bus from Dallas arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal at about 7:15 a.m., marking the latest relocation of asylum-seeking border-crossing migrants from the Lone Star State to the Big Apple.

Some 52 migrants, including five women and a child, were among the latest arrivals amid the ongoing public standoff between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Mayor Eric Adams, who has blasted the move to ship migrants off as being “anti-American.”

I have never been..Is it as bad and depressing as it looks? I cannot imagine the citizens liking what they see, or I am over reacting?

There is an appeal to NYC. Aside from the rise in crime recently, it was a good trip and I never felt like something was about to go down. A fairly noticeable police presence, much like in the past when crime had gone way down. So, maybe they’re working on it. Tons of fantastic restaurants, but be prepared for sticker shock…even more so now. Went to Phantom of the Opera with my daughter, hit a small hole in the wall Italian place (cash only) for dinner that we love and it was overall a good trip. Lots of people out everywhere. You still get the occasional crazy person shouting at nothing on a street corner. Just gotta have your head on a swivel, pay attention and don’t go where you don’t know, consider Uber vs walking if it’s late at night or in an unfamiliar area. Some areas of Manhattan are pristine, more modern…others have side streets that are trashy, smell bad, etc. it runs the gamut depending on where you are. It does have lots of pretty girls, though….if one likes that sort of thing! I’ve been there a million times and can take it or leave it at this point, but It’s a fascinating city to be sure.

Edit: Everyone should go at least once to experience it. Do a big trip, blow it out (plays/musical, best restaurants, Lady Liberty, Empire State bldg, etc) and check the box. It will make you really appreciate where we live, though.

Glad you had a good experience. Sounds pretty much the same as my experience over the last 20 years, minus the last 5. Try making it up during restaurant week, somewhat affordable. Pick and choose when to be out and you should be OK.

'It's like walking through Dante's inferno': Manhattan's trendy Chelsea neighborhood has become 'a 24-hour Drug And Sex Den' as v\Vagrants Inject Themselves In Plain Sight Of A School and parents beg NYPD to 'do something'

Manhattan's trendy Chelsea neighborhood has become a '24-hour drug and sex den' according to some of its residents, as vagrants deal and use drugs in sight of a nearby school.

Parents told Fox 5 that their children have become exposed to nudity, sex acts and drug use while business owners deal with constant break-ins. Some said they are begging city officials and the police department to do something.

Vivek Batra, a local co-op owner, said 'you can see people over here shooting up, smoking. I find pipes. I find needles in the streets and kids are playing right here.

'What's worse is it's not just at night, it's during the day.'

Residents have reported seeing vagrants openly smoking crystal meth during the daytime and within sight of a nearby school

Local co-op owner Vivek Batra said he spent 'about $60,000' on cameras and locks to prevent break-ins, which have not been successful

Rainbow Station, an adult entertainment store on 8th Avenue between 20th Street and 21st Street, recently had a 38-year-old man found dead from an apparent overdose inside one of its private video booths.

NYC seeking extra 5,000 Hotel Rooms to House Migrants bused to city

City officials are urgently seeking another 5,000 rooms in Big Apple hotels to house migrants bound for New York City from the southern border, The Post has learned.

There is no price tag attached to the request that was released Wednesday, which was made under the emergency contracting powers invoked by Mayor Eric Adams when the migrant crisis first began in the city.

It marks a dramatic expansion of the city’s efforts to secure temporary housing for the recent arrivals, sources say.

City Hall estimates that more than 4,000 migrants, many of whom are seeking asylum, have arrived in the five boroughs in recent weeks — and have become the subject of a high-profile feud between Hizzoner and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

Eric Adams: Abbott’s Migrant Busing ‘Anti-American’ — He Should Talk to Places Busses Go Through and Figure out How to ‘Do This Together’

During portions of an interview with ABC News aired on Wednesday’s edition of “Nightline,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) program busing migrants to New York City is “hateful politics” that is “taking away the respect and dignity of people who are in need” and “just so anti-American.” And said that Abbott should talk to the mayors in the cities and governors in the states that the busses have to pass through in order to get to New York and figure out “how do we do this together?”
