This is ridiculous more needs to be done with stop and frisk the CCTV system and there is a serious need for gunshot readers. Known gang members surveillance every time they move. How many more fathers must be killed before we are fed up with this surge??
What about the lives destroyed by gun violence? How many males have to flee the island before our attitudes are adjusted??
Leaders enough statements after the facts and condolences. Severe reactions are required by all knee jerk reactions and rhetoric has not helped. Stricter deterrents are the solution only then is their a reduction in power of these public nuisances.
This has become too common.
Ahh, Court Street. It is always fun to walk there during the day and watch transactions take place in the alleyways.
Let me guess. Our multi-million dollar CCTV system captured nothing on video.
What alleyways are on court street?
The gaps between the buildings are alleyways. Have you ever looked when walking the sidewalk?
