We haven't just blogged we have done this kind of thing for money too . Some one does have to bring these events to the general publics attention .Thus we still do this sort of thing occasionally .<br /><br />We took calculated , measured actions sunday understanding from experience how people behave in such situations and calculated where we could push and where we had to withdraw . We had some confrontations and were threatened. There was some physical contact .Just because you saw the product on a mere blog doesn't diminsh the events relavence to this East Village community .Bob Arihoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255105317878804914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30373593.post-65986120044427676312010-03-23T11:39:57.937-04:002010-03-23T11:39:57.937-04:00That's a nice Cadillac they're pounding ea...That's a nice Cadillac they're pounding each other on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30373593.post-16309969720783393522010-03-23T10:37:42.550-04:002010-03-23T10:37:42.550-04:00Why are you so stupid as to hang out and watch the...Why are you so stupid as to hang out and watch the battle?

City funding of the NYPD is decreasing .<br /> <br />City development policy and the State Liquor Authority have created a bar and club fantasyland downtown , that is , a nightmare problem for NYPD .<br /><br />Simply put, police resources are in short supply and what resources are currently available and dedicated to weekend patrol cannot possibly prevent with certainty the reoccurance of another event like last nights brawl .As things are now even worse can easily happen . <br /><br />A certain number of units are available every weekend night . everytime one of these units is engaged then there is one less unit available for other problems that might occur .When all of these deployed units are occupied with serious weekend problems there are no units available to tend to any additional problems .<br /><br />The number of total units on duty is limited by resources avilable .Funding by the Bloomberg administration of NYPD determines the police resources available for deployment at any given time. <br />Though it is true that a mobilization could be called for a significant event , such events as Sunday morning's brawl last for a such a short time that a mobilization would be of no use . The event would be long finished and those involved long dispersed before the mobilization could be fully established in place . . <br /><br />As we see things , if Bloomberg wants the taxes from liquor consumption and partying in this bar and club fantasyland that he has allowed to be created in our community then he is obligated to provide all policing necessary to deal with all problems that can possibly happen on any night including weekend nights .<br /><br />Though there are likely pertinent command and efficiency issues involved here , NYPD is not the primary problem here .Bob Arihoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255105317878804914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30373593.post-66332913041825555372010-03-23T00:10:34.210-04:002010-03-23T00:10:34.210-04:00Intense shots.
