A Federal Investigation into crimes and felonies by Roosevelt Island Public "Safety" is long overdue.
R Is is not a "crime free" island. The absence of professional police made a target for predators from day one. Perhaps that was the idea. Starting with the abduction and rape of two 7 year olds from the playground, open drug dealing, to protection of violent criminals, obstruction of justice, assault and battery, sexual battery, etc., aiding and abetting in assault and battery, kidnapping, reckless endangerment, attempted murder, defamation of character, lying to the NYPD, racism, arrests on false chargesetc., by PSD, Roosevelt Island can be a nightmare for peaceful, law abiding people who are vulnerable physically or economically.
Their harassment has caused economic hardship to their victims, but they are above the law. Queens and Manhattan DA's protect them, RIOC is a sinkhole of corruption.
Silence is the enemy of freedom.
I 100% agree with you! This morning, I went next door to check where a very loud noise had come from. I had a hammer in my hand as I had started fixing a gate that came lose, barrier from the living-room to the stair area as I have a 14 month old child. I am a 5'4 aprox. 100lbs female btw. As I knocked in the neighbor's home and he opened the door I saw the usual repair person and asked him what the loud noise was. I was frustrated as it was 8 am and my whole apartment was shaking from the driling including my son's bed. The repair guy called public safety as he supposedly felt threatened by my hammer (I did not even realize I have it in my hand) and while I turned away, got back to my apartment and was about to close the door 4 officers forced their way in while other random people walked in to enjoy spectatorship, taking over the staircase and interrogating me while accusing me of threatening the worker with the hammer. They attitude was extremely abusive and yelled at me to give them an id. I refused and said I did not wish to cooperate as I was being accused for I did not do. I have never in my life went through such shocking and abusive experience as I have never created any problems around me. The Public Safety Officers treated me as if I was a criminal. All I wanted was a quiet morning and instead I had 4 officers in my apartment threatening to handcuff me and drag me to the police station. All this in front of my 14 month old son. Absolutely outrageous. I am taking further action, will file complaint and have them apologize to me publicly.
Meanwhile, the whole hallway smells like marijuana at all time and nothing is being done about it.
It's an EDP convention.
