Bay Ridge Crime Statistics Tweaked to Be Storybook Perfect

Crime statistics came out and Mayor de Blasio and his minions rejoiced. The local paper, The Brooklyn Reporter shared the report. The reporter, Jaime DeJesus doesn’t live in Bay Ridge. You will see no residents were interviewed for the story. This is how the wool is pulled over the community’s eyes.
You and I know what’s up.
Bay Ridge crime statistics are skewed, twisted or under-reported on purpose. If crime was reported honestly here, then we would have a problem. If there is a problem, then people need to work on it and……no one wants to do work.
Real information:
On August 25th, there was an attempted rape in Bay Ridge on 90th Street. A 27-year-old woman was thrown on the ground, her clothes ripped off and the man sexually assaulted her. A good Samaritan stopped the rape. Story here
The 68th Precinct officers reported this as a date rape….meaning it was down-graded to an assault and no one had to do anything because it’s two people who knew each other and they almost had sex on a date. (Yeah apparently rape isn’t rape according to the NYPD since date rape has a lower category).
Now here’s where we KNOW a problem exists in the 68th Precinct: The police officers who made the report had to turn it in to a supervisor (a Sargent, a lieutenant or a Captain – someone had to read that report). If it was “date rape” then the woman would have told the police officers the rapist’s name and it would be in the report. The victim didn’t know his name, so how did that go unnoticed by supervisors? (There are at least three NYPD officers in the 68th Precinct who knew this was rape from the start – the two officers on duty and their supervisor).

Here’s more: The situation wasn’t shared with the public to find the rapist until TWO WEEKS later (see my tweet below)

Emmanuel Martinez-Hernandez, the man in the video turned himself over to the police after his picture was shared widely on social media – see here.

The victim didn’t know her attacker. How the heck could any NYPD officer have gotten that fact incorrect? That NYPD officer still works in our district because no one investigated, as the situation was swept away like it never happened.
YES, we were told it was going to be looked into, but it was quickly forgotten about.
No one wants to question the NYPD in Bay Ridge because questioners are called cop-haters here. Nicole Malliotakis’ staffer called me this for questioning the NYPD in the area where I live. Malliotakis is an assembly representative who doesn’t live in Bay Ridge, so she doesn’t care. In a few years, she won’t even part of this community, so it doesn’t matter to her. Marty Golden didn’t question the police because he was a NYPD officer.
For years, I have written about the NYPD at Fort Snooze, even when I had a friend working in the precinct. I grew up in Sunset Park with many friends who became police officers. I support the death penalty for cop killers, so no one needs to tell me who I am – especially not a political hack.
Residents here will tell you that their calls to the 68th Precinct go unanswered, calls to 311 are closed with no NYPD response, 311 calls are reported as answered even when nothing has happened (see here and here), some officers discourage residents from making reports or simply will NOT take a report (see here).
The NYPD knows that no one follows up with 311 calls, so they don’t care. Most people just accept that their call is closed. I had to open one call about four times…no one contacted me from the city to ask about what happened.
Last year, we learned that residents reported 32 noise complaints about a restaurant, yet the owner of the restaurant said in front of everyone including the NYPD officer that represents this community that he had only heard of one or two complaints (see here – video too)

Last January, I shared that Compstats had changed for this area….one month they were one number and the following month, the number was tweaked see here. Whose tweaking the 68th Precinct’s statistics?
Accepting statistics has become the norm. It makes people happy to say crime is down.

Our area should be covered with beat cops walking around Bay Ridge because we are part of the community policing program. Has anyone seen them or did the NYPD just hire more police officers to sit in the precinct or lend out to other districts? The only officer I ever see in Bay Ridge is the one that’s on the horse. Where are the NCO’s?

Curtis Sliwa Will Fire Himself

Curtis Sliwa wouldn’t be my first choice for Public Advocate.
But now Sliwa says, “If elected, he will fire himself and elimate the Public Advocate office.”
INTERESTING.
Do we believe the Public Advocate Office is necessary? I haven’t seen anyone prove it is.
A lot of candidates who are running for Public Advocate are connected to the machine or de Blasio. Sliwa may have made himself another choice for NY’ers.

RIP Kevin Fay

We were so sorry to hear the news about Kevin Fay.

I knew Kevin long before I moved to Bay Ridge. When we first met, we realized we went to the same elementary school – OLPH. Each time I saw him, even if I didn’t see him for a long time, he would call me his OLPH friend.

I think most of South Brooklyn knew Kevin. He was a friend to everyone and he knew everyone’s story. He made connections with people easily because he valued people and their friendship.

Kevin was also an amazing cook and Bay Ridge enjoyed his cooking for years at Circles. Fay was part owner of Circles Restaurant.

I imagine the gates of heaven opened and everyone who Kevin took care of over the years greeted him for a huge party….with great food.

Prayers for Kevin’s family.

Clavin’s Funeral Home 7722 – 4th Avenue Saturday 7-9 pm Sunday 2-4 and 7-9 pm

Mass at OLPH 59th Street and 5th Avenue in Brooklyn – on Monday at 10:30 am.

NYPD Doesn’t Meet South Brooklyn’s Needs

Councilman Justin Brannan and Community Board 10 Manager, Josephine Beckmann are two amazing people. They wrote this Op-Ed for Bklyner.

Beckmann has asked for help before this year and she was turned down because the NYPD refuses to listen. This situation has been going on for a few years and it’s like the NYPD closes it’s eyes when Christmas comes around. See last year’s reporting – here.

Now here’s the real issue: We have a Community Affairs police officer, why didn’t he call for more help for the area? It’s like there is such a disconnect between the 68th Precinct and the community.

Maybe it’s not a top priority for security, but why weren’t NCO’s all over that area. Why didn’t the NCO’s stop commercial traffic from entering these streets. Huge buses don’t belong on residential streets.
