Captain Tolson Confirmed Dyker Heights Drug Bust
Tonight was a short Zoom meeting of the Bay Ridge 68th Precinct Community Council.
Captain Tolson gave an overview of some issues for the area. He spoke highly about his officers and he said he is sharing what they take off the street through Twitter.
Last week, the FBI kicked in the door of a home in Dyker Heights. Neighbors told us what they saw. I shared about this on 9/18.
SIX PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED!
Politicians and the police didn’t say anything……almost as if they were pretending it didn’t happen.
Residents tweeted Senator Gounardes and Councilman Justin Brannan about the incident. Both politicians ignored the people’s request for information.
Captain Tolson of the 68th Precinct said he didn’t tweet about it because it was headed by the FBI and although the 68th Precinct officers worked with them, they didn’t head the project.
Political leadership is poor in this area area. When something serious used to happen, Marty Golden’s staffers would share the information on social media, so people didn’t have to worry about it. (I’m not a fan of Golden, but he did do that).
Andrew Gounardes doesn’t share any information.
Here are some instance when Andrew Gounardes was silent and could have updated the community:
1) A business owner on 86th Street was shot. This is several blocks from Gounardes’ office. The man went to the news because not one politician or local paper wrote about it and he wanted people to know. See here.
2) A soldier shot an AR-15 at his neighbor’s house in Dyker Heights. The soldier wasn’t even charged with a serious crime (stats for the neighborhood didn’t change). See here
3) Khaled Ahmad ate his father. Even People Magazine wrote about this, but no local paper carried the storey! Senator Gounardes didn’t say anything. See here
4) A man chanted, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel in Bay Ridge. Gounardes never spoke out against the hate. See here
Hugs,
