Did you notice it was a lot quieter last night? We suggested drones and helicopters years ago only to be scoffed at by NYPD. We pay for the technology, why wasn't it being used to prevent crime in our area until now? ... See MoreSee Less
We should equip our neighborhood with security measures, encourage people to install cameras etc. After an incident last father's day when thieves broke into my property and attempted to steal my motorcycle I was shocked how little households have security cameras and the ones that do were not setup properly.
NYS Assembly Bill A6986 to put a stop to car meet ups Sponsor is Assembly Person Giglio Co Sponsors are Joe Agelino and Jake Blumencranz all Republicans so how come no democrats tought of it
When you have people like DeBlasio, Adams and now Mamdani in charge they don't care until something horrendous forces change. Even then they don't care, they just give in to shut the complainers up. I guess somebody at the 104th or in Phil's office made enough of a "stink" to get this done finally
And was he there to update or visit the scene on this extreme interruption of safety and on quality of life? These SM meet ups are really becoming dangerous.
The answer is simple. This happens because we're not allowed to carry.

Guys this was happening way before Mamdani took office !!!!!!!!!!!!
Any video of the incident?

Wait in till the new ibx train passes through 69th and the new 🏗🏢🏬🏢🏢 get put up .
When I read the post, I immediately thought of the same white kids I along with several others encounter last year, there were 5 of them. It was very similar situation. I'm surprised the comment says 30 black kids...
This wouldve got taken care of in the 90s, we need someone to take care of this again
Get what you vote for NYC
Because the transplants want it
I don’t know why people think stuff is new…
7 years ago we had major issues on our block and cops would never come…
Cops have been pretty unresponsive for years
Most votes where for mamdummy kinda knew this would happen
This isnt the Middle Village I knew
And grew up in …. I think the community better start coming together very strong and very loud and take over the community since no one else is protecting you . Start fighting and intimidating and being louder then the UNDESIRABLES trying to threaten and intimidate us !!!!!
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani says our streets are safe tho no crime at all CNN FOX 5 NY ABC7NY Spectrum News NY1
what the neighborhood needs to do is purchase some bow and arrows straight to the tires.
25 years ago these mutts never would've gotten into the neighborhood.
Cops show up 10 minutes later no excuse for that
People in the NYC counties (probably other than Manhattan) need to vote for Blakeman for governor!!! If not, there will be more of the same with Hochul !
There was another incident in Malba, Queens in November involving cars and a large wreckless group. This is definitely not the queens i grew up in.

So the people that reported it said it took them 7 minutes to respond, Wong posted it took 2 minutes and now this says 3 minutes. Want to guess who is telling the truth?
Was anyone arrested? I read in the post that two patrol cars got their windshields smashed
That wasn’t drag racing 😡
An intersection causing a tactical disadvantage. Maybe the disadvantage was one police car that no one is obviously goin to worry about.
In other words bathing will happen to the animals
No mention of lighting a fire in between 2 gas stations
speed camera on 69th street, maybe a vehicle will be photographed there
wow someone got a summons, that'll teach em.
That summons will show them!!!!
What does Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani have to say about this? Just kids having fun?
Perhaps the police need training how to deal with this kind of incident
Anamils with cars… thank you 104th for all you did
The police had to block all the roads so they can’t get fled.

104 and 110 need to put more pressure on the FIO's in their respective commands. These meet-ups are clearly being organized via social media. The FIO's need to be on top that.
Wow a summons!
As long as there’s no consequences, these people will be back again 
Neice worked there 30 years ago,never had these problems was shocked.
This wasn’t drag racing this was stupidity. Lighting a fire feet within a gas station??!!!
Why bother, NYC judges will have them out in no time anyway.
Mayor will say they are just kids playing innocent games.
Wouldn’t it be inciting a riot or maybe an attempted terror attack? Like do we not see the bigger picture here of what these guys did??!!! I have friends and family Jewish and this scared them thru there bones with what happened. It’s only going get worse. This beautiful community we live in just got attacked just like the community in Whitestone and others areas in Queens
What will happen now?
They call it drag racing???
Setting fires near 2 gas stations and doing donuts while waving palestinian flags is not drag racing.
It's planned disturbances and intimidation tactics by certain groups.
It's going to be a long summer.
I want to know who called it in that got a 2 minutes response time.
Thank you for the strong law enforcement support, Councilman.
Than you Phil for addressing this
Other than words, what real action is being done? What a joke. 30 years ago, that would have never happened there.
NY FORGOT.
Too little too late. 1 car out of 100 gets a summons? No arrests? This city is finished. Cops whining they're not appreciated, understaffed, unsupported by elected officials and everyone blaming democrats and liberals is skirting the real issue. Our elected officials have failed us, ALL of them. We are prisoners in our homes, can't wear jewelry, take money out of the bank, go out at night. Its disgusting!
they gotta do a lot more about these inserts. This is a public safety issue stiff fines, and arrest have to be made.
A lawless mob wreaked fiery havoc on a Queens intersection during a late-night car takeover as local lawmakers demand a crackdown on these unhinged meetups.
Perhaps we're overreacting just a tad?
Back in the day behavior like this was confined to industrial and other non-residential areas. I'm not condoning these actions, then or now, but I bet a good percentage of the outraged people participated in similar activities.
I know I did.
colored dyed water cannons would do just fine.
I THINK ITS TIME FOR THE VIGILANTES OF THE 70S TO MAKE A COMEBACK. ONLY WAY THE CITIZENS CAN REGAIN CONTROL
We need more argus cameras on the poles to monitor
Don't worry, the individuals who smashed the police windshield were eventually caught... and issued a summons...
You voted for this, enjoy!
How about a helicopter or drone dumping paint on them then we can ID them easily.
Gonna be a hell of a summer
Time for rubber bullets.
Welcome to NY people
Yes, they can
lol. Cops did nothing I heard
It’s all fun till someone gets killed
Mamdani’s NYC

Since politicians are useless bring back organized crime and watch how fast this stops
Given what happened To that Nypd Sergeant for throwing a cooler at someone fleeing, how could any honest New Yorker expect the NYPD to clean this mess up. If ANY force has to be used or a participant gets injured as a result of a chase (which are forbidden for such events) of any kind, the Mayor, the District Attorney, the Complaint Review. Board will all over the police. I feel for the residents but without the support of the Administration, this will not be easily resolved.
If there are no consequences this illegal behavior will continue! 😡
Confiscate there cars and this shit will stop
All those cameras that get me doing a mph over the speed limit should be able to ID some of these folks. Rather than the police sitting in their cars and giving me a summons when they think I didn’t fully stop at a stop sign when no person or car was even there they should focus on this stuff. But then again doing that would require some effort
