By Carol Tannenhauser

An unidentified 28-year-old man was shot one time in his right leg on Saturday at around 6:15 p.m., “in front of the Douglass Houses” at 845 Columbus Avenue (100th Street),  according to an NYPD spokesperson. Nothing is known about the shooter. The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside hospital and is “not likely,” i.e. to die.

Again, right under the nose of the 24th.

I agree with OPOD and richard berman. There are over 300M guns in the U.S.A. – maybe even more guns than people. It is not possible for **any** police force to prevent a few miscreants from displaying, deploying, and discharging their guns.

It is time to put the “well ordered militia” back into the Second Amendment. The founding fathers never meant for every wingnut crackpot to carry and charge their guns.

What do you expect the NYPD to do? New Yorkers have destroyed their Police Department. Voting for anti police politicians who attack the NYPD, pass laws that make proactive law enforcement impossible. Remember a couple years ago as thousands marched against the NYPD? Millions sat on their butts and watched their Police Officers being attacked, defunded and disrespected. Thousands of NYPD officers have simply got fed up and left. Now you expect to be safe? New Yorkers have made their bed.

Thousands did not “march against the NYPD”. If you mean they marched. Against killing unarmed black people – hardly equivalent

Not disagreeing with your thought, but there was no defunding of the police.

People need to remember that a uniformed police officer does not prevent crime (unless she or he is standing in the vicinity where someone is about to commit a crime). Uniformed officers show up after the crime has been committed.

If you want the police to prevent crime you either have to flood neighborhoods with uniformed police officers or go back to the days of undercover anti-crime units.

It will help if they are out of their cars, off their phones and walking the streets.

Actually, they aren’t supposed to get out of their cars and walk the streets. With the exception of a few officers in each precinct, cops don’t “walk the beat” anymore.

I never understood why they don’t walk the beat. Is it because they can get to a scene quicker in the unit?

You have NO idea why an Officer is looking at a phone. They communicate with their phones. They receive texts, photos, messages, etc. with their phones. They are not playing with it like civilians.

One person shoots another person in the leg in front of a project. What do you expect-the police should be everywhere, the proximity of the 24th precinct not withstanding? That the police should instantly apprehend the shooter?

This has zero to do with people demonstrating against the police a few years ago.T and the putative impact on morale/retention. The police still do their job, often superbly;
