Crime and Violence on NYC Transit Under-Reported: NYPD Source
Crime and Violence on NYC Transit Under-Reported: NYPD Source

Crime and violence in New York City’s subway system have spiraled out of control and are “significantly higher” than the agency’s official numbers have publicly indicated, according to a New York Police Department (NYPD) source.
The official number of arrests made in the city’s subway system rose by 45 percent this year, with more than 3,000 arrests made underground in the first two months of the year, many of them of repeat offenders, according to figures released by the NYPD Transit Bureau. However, the publicly released data only scratch the surface of the amount of crime in the nation’s largest transit system, a law enforcement source told The Epoch Times.
“The numbers they are putting out are a complete joke and everyone knows it,” the source, who requested anonymity out of fear of retribution, said. “The sense of lawlessness (on the subway) is so bad that unless you have personal experience in the system, especially at night, it is impossible to understand.
“It’s like the Wild West.”

Man enjoys lovely morning ride in trash-covered NYC subway train
Blogger's note:
Attempting to post the video on this Google Blog the message received was typical of the news that they do not want you to know. The message was "No videos found".
A New York construction worker posted a video of an incredibly filthy
subway car filled with all sorts of trash in the Bronx.
The footage shows the train covered almost entirely in heaps of garbage,
from the floor to the seats, and it has recently attracted the
attention of the NYPD and Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Andy Byford, the New York City Transit President, said it’s a “clear
violation of subway rules,” and claimed to have had referred the video
to local police.

Clinton, Wicked Witch of the West
I’m more regular than you are: Clinton’s had Secret Service chauffeurs for 23 years now. She hasn’t driven a car this century. She prohibits traveling press from photographing her boarding chartered private jets.
Yes, photo ops have been evolving since the camera’s invention. The advent of television news added movement. But fake “news events” designed simply to attract news cameras and garner free publicity have come to dominate and deteriorate American politics more every year, draining most semblance of serious substance.
Barack Obama used photo ops endlessly when he was president, often flying four hours round-trip at $210K an hour for a 20-minute photo-op to inform workers that hundreds of thousands of jobs were due any minute due to his trillion-dollar stimulus program.
If not run right, however, photo ops can suddenly turn on a politician and bite their South Side — in front of the same leering cameras. Ask Hillary Clinton after her awkward Thursday experience attempting to enter the New York City subway.
Clinton’s had Secret Service chauffeurs for 23 years now. She hasn’t driven a car this century. She prohibits traveling press from photographing her boarding chartered private jets.
But with the New York primary just 11 days away and another elderly ex-New Yorker undermining her sure-fire, now lame nomination campaign by winning six of the last seven contests, millionairess Clinton wanted to look like a regular person. So, she shunned the limo and charter jet.
I’m more regular than you are
The former first lady, former Arkansas first lady, former senator, former failed presidential candidate and former secretary of State planned to take a well-guarded ride on the No. 4 train from 161st Street in the Bronx. Key words: well-guarded.
Such events are — or should be — pre-planned by advance people with the candidate fully briefed on what to do and expect. Everything must run smooth and normal like a Rolex watch, not a Clinton trademark this cycle.
So, Clinton walked up to the subway turnstile holding the MetroCard someone bought for her. She swiped it at the fare reader. And…….nothing. Again. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Again. Nothing.
Cameras captured the painful scene as the woman who jokes about wiping her private email server with a cloth looked like a puzzled yutz.
Finally, on the fifth try Clinton gained entry, confident in the knowledge her straight face would appear in this photo, not her five tries.
Clinton waited on the platform, just like you would, except for all the guards. A train arrived. The woman who earned a minimum quarter-million per speech boarded with her entire entourage and went for a ride.
Had this been one of those obviously disconnected, rich Republican candidates stumped by apparent ignorance of an everyday experience we’d be hearing about the hilarious, mortifying, disastrous scene all weekend. And well beyond.
You’d be treated to endless talk-show jokes about the GOP candidate seeking an F train to tee time at the country club.
Remember all the mocking of President George H.W. Bush in the 1992 campaign against another Clinton when the chief executive asked a proud showroom clerk how this newly-invented grocery scanner worked? Or the non-stop laughter five years ago when Sarah Palin noted, accurately, that a captured Paul Revere also notified the British that the Minutemen were coming.
How many ex-senators does it take to swipe a fare card?
Don’t hold your breath for late-night laughs at this Democrat’s expense.
Tag-along media did cover the Bronx ineptness Thursday, but quickly added all kinds of helpful excuses and distracting details. Politico, for instance, noted her struggle with “those flimsy New York subway cards.” But reassured readers that Clinton pressed on “undeterred.” Impressive courage under pressure.
Then, quickly, the story switched to how Bernie Sanders, who lives in Vermont, didn’t know New York’s subway abandoned tokens 13 years ago. Which presumably proves something.
Yahoo News helpfully explained for Clinton that other New Yorkers have had trouble with those darned subway cards and even dragged in vocal opposition to Ted Cruz’ Bronx visit. Which had nothing to do with the subway, but shifted the subject off Clinton onto a Republican.
