Still no comment from RIOC or the 114th NYPD precinct on whether a gun was present at any time prior to the arrest of Child School student during December 13 incident. Child School denies a gun was present but there have been reports from others who claim otherwise.

Who makes more money in the drug war, the dealers or the CORPORATE police? I've had a bike stolen from me in broad daylight, I deal with the parking meter alarms at all hours of the night, and all PSD can find to do is arrest people for possessing a plant? Seems kinda ridiculous to me...

Remind me again why we were so intent on saving the Roosevelt Island Post Office? The blotter entry for 580 Main Street's unlocked mailboxes is a shining example of the complete incompetence of the staff of that branch. Thanks, postal workers, for leaving myself and my neighbors open to having our mail and identities stolen.

"11/7/2011 510 Main St Reporter turned in a photocopied sheet of paper with Islam references written on it.  Search of area for any suspicious activity or persons yielded negative results."

Eh, what? I guess we need to know what was written on this piece of paper but what exactly was going on there? 

Also, could we just stop wasting money and stop criminalizing Marihuana? This is so silly.

You cant blame law enforcement. Blame your law makers who you elected for. If you did not vote, perhaps you should vote next time or create a lobby campaign for legal mj.

If its illegal, its illegal. Simple.

As for witnesses, its always a coin toss at what a witness really sees. Maybe the kid had a cellphone in his hand, but because people say there was a gun, now they seen a gun or percieved it to be a gun.

The tram operator denying a carrier-less dog entrance to the tram makes the Public Safety blotter? Really? You thought that needed to be added?

The Public Safety Department, not me, determines what is on the Public Safety Blotter. I only added that the incident occurred on the Tram because it was not clear from the report that it happened on the Tram - could have been on the Red Bus.

If there is smoking of Marijuana then there is seling of Marijuana.  Why must this be stoppoed?  Because, Marijuana will become Cocaine, which will become Crack, which will become Heroin or Crystal Meth, etc.  Of course PSD should arrest for MJ.  By doing that, they thwart the bigger drugs from surfacing.  I say, keep up the good work.

Your argument falls flat right here: "Marijuana will become Cocaine". This reasoning is solely based on non-existing facts.

why when PSD finds "subjects" with Marijuana on their person, or smoking it, why are they not arrested? Seems they are issued a summons and released all the time...I read it a lot on the blotter...they should be thrown in jail...last time I checked, it is not legal is it? Why are we so easy on these people? For instance read this ... 11/12/2011 546 Main St ARREST Male subject observed in stairwell of location with a bag of marijuana. Subject taken into custody, issued summons and released. Marijuana vouchered at 114 Precinct

Do you really suggest that people should be incarcerated for the use or possession of Marijuana? Our jails are already full to the brim because we throw people into jail for the tiniest reasons. People caught for the first time (or first few times) should get away with warnings, fines, or community service. That just makes sense.
