We get a lot of this due to the fact that the police can’t stop and frisk anymore. Crime is up, but the stats show it’s going down since things get deranked and manipulated. Just look at the billion dollar NYCHA mess DeBlasio has on his hands. This is what happens when you have poor leadership, people take advantage of weakness.

DeBlasio will be putting this poor unfortunate perp up for a NYCHA apartment with a reduced fare metrocard, reduced fare ride share and car share with annual fees waived and a seat at Brooklyn Tech or Stuyvesant High School.

MTA bus slams into pole in Flushing, injuring eight passengers: NYPD

The driver of the Q20A bus was traveling westbound on 57th Road just south of Kissena Corridor Park at 5:58 a.m. when he made a right turn onto Main Street, jumped the curb, and slammed into a light pole at the intersection of Booth Memorial Avenue and Main Street, an MTA spokesman said. There were seven passengers on the bus when it crashed. They were transported by EMS to New York-Presbyterian Hospital with minor complaints of pain, according to the NYPD spokesman.

The Q20A bus had significant front-end damage, and an MTA spokesman said the bus operator is being withheld from service pending the investigation. No criminality is suspected, and the investigation remains ongoing, the NYPD spokesman said.
