Jackson Heights Life

A man was beating the hell out of a woman outside my home in his car. She was screaming and crying. We called the police and yelled at him to stop and told her to get out of the car. He threw her out of the car while driving. She stumbled into the street with her belongings. He drove off. A fellow neighbor was talking to her. She apparently got into an Uber and it's been close to 40 minutes and the police still have not showed up. What if they were still fighting? My son wanted to go help but I was afraid the man might have had a weapon. Are we suppose to sit by and watch people be assaulted and the police do not show up?

This is horrible but I guess this is what happens when you defund the police.

This is what happens when you defund the police. No resources impact response time.

We didn't "defund the police." And response times haven't changed much in the last 8 years (as far as public data is available). They're actually a bit faster this year than last year.

Perhaps what happened is they classified it as a "domestic dispute," which gets a low priority and has like a 70 minute average response.

This is what happens when I report all comments saying "this is what happens when you defund the police" to the moderator for the reason of "Complete and total ignorance"
