  1. Lol waiting for one of them to get jumpes on .

  2. Literally Gotham city from the Batman movie lol

  3. The problem is that USA have painted itself into a corner, for example in Japan a police officer cost the city the median income of average citizen, in NYC a cop cost the city $240K/year.

    And in China it's even better: https://youtu.be/5iPDxjocKOw

  4. He considers six people getting stabbed on the subway as a challenging weekend? Sounds a little more than just challenging

  5. I'll just keep carying my gun until i get accused by some thugs family of shooting him unprovoked cause he wasnt white

  6. NYC transport system looks like 3rd world

  7. Ok so they have more cops on the subway? For how long? They need many more cops on all mta lines and stations.

  8. Democrat and left media have been over playing race card,rising black supremacy, creating many White Asian, Hispanic and Cops hates among black!

  9. Sadly, street and subway homeless are fentanyl addicts by large majority. They are not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is. Many will die from overdose or drugs related violence. God help us all.

  10. There’s no plan in effect. It’s all talk. I have yet to actually see a change

  11. This worries people like me planning on travelling to New york as a solo traveller…do I need to rethink my destination as I.ve seen vloggers and influences saying very similar things on rising crime ..😬

  12. The narrative now is if your black and commit a crime is because of mentql issues, but if your white is because of Trump white nationalist or Racist. 😂

  13. Funny how crime spiraled outta control when Democrats got selected/elected …
    But don’t tell the robot Byden voters that , they think it’s Orange man’s mean tweets that get elderly Asians pushed into subway tracks .

  14. Can we say paying taxes is not Working! Wtf!

  15. Eric Adams capability on full display
    How well the funding of police is going

  16. It’s here – the terrifying return to the bad ol’ days of 70’s and 80’s NYC – violent crime, grime and subway slime. Reminds me of this thriller:

    https://youtu.be/wL3WfPorN98

    if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out!

  17. What about the B and the D train?

  18. This will bring zero positive effects. Mark my words.

  19. Electric companies allow to bill you like your paying fir a 2050 Lamborghini when electricity should be free so we cant survive now more and more obviously going homeless we are better off homeless than working all day everyday for a check that wont cover Bill's now spike in murderous fools walking the streets dont put this on news like you care you the system the government created this over paper made in a machine the reckoning is coming Mexico has already taken there country north America back in the next 30 years Mexico will announce white man must go Latinos are the main people in habit ence of this land still a country then give it back how smart

  20. How is leaving mentally ill people to roam the streets fair to anyone….not fair to the public and definitely not fair to the mentally ill…..maybe it's time to bring back institutions…..

  21. There are no police officers on the platforms on the trains especially at night they just do inspections and go back to the car

  22. Should be a 2 cops on every train

  23. People are not paying attention..always on the phone…

  24. "Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
    and he will deliver you "
              Psalm  50: 15

  25. I’ve noticed a huge increase in homeless people creating havoc in the subways. Nearly an everyday occurrence now

  26. Allow people with no criminal record and seniors to carry some kind of defensive device like stun guns, stun canes, knife or club. People are not prey for every armed degenerate and the police cannot be everywhere.

  27. police and safety lol, just glad they all didn't get shot. too many videos

  28. This Asian hate must be on the west coast in the East Coast don't sit here and act like black people haven't put Asian kids through school for Generations

  29. Just give them a fentanyl laced drug and solve the problem permanently or am I crazy

  30. Where are the Guarding Angels? How long will this PC action last? 6 months?

  31. As the economy crisis keep rising, one needs to have different streams of income, a well detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive,as well as secure a profitable investment future

  32. This will prevent all these BLM foot soldiers from attacking Asians?

  33. Shout out to George Floyd on 646 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!!

  34. New York Launches 'Subway Safety Plan' Amid Spike In Violent Crime: More social workers?

  35. I'm sorry but they need to be dragged out against their will.

  36. You vote democrat. You get what you vote for crime

  37. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  38. This program is useless. You ant force people into shelter. They will go around, ask people if they want help, they will refuse and then they will move on. We need mandatory housing. Homelessness needs to be made illegal.

  39. I would never come online beside Aurora forget amid nyc kma your liberty statue serves France lousiana Louis Wiss louise wegman a tad different than Sam Samuel Sami yada yack still wondering how you ppl planned things that side ways .. anyhoo if you wish to be better terrorists get a session lol meaning you failed so bad

  40. until barriers are installed and every single train has a security guard roaming throughout I will never take the MTA ever again

  41. Well who would’ve thought that stripping a billion dollars from the nypd budget would’ve turned bad….
