The Action on Empire & Troy just doesn’t stop

Usually its car crashes then just this past Sunday we witnessed around 30 police vehicles respond to an officer assaulted, but tonight has really been the cream of the crop. Nearly 40 police vehicles including ESU trucks and SUV’s various unmarked cars and even an unmarked taxi, and not to forget various FDNY SUV’s as well, were double lined up along the entire Empire Blvd. between Albany & Troy.

What sparked all this was a call to 911 reporting gunshots being exchanged inside 740 Empire Blvd. which is a very large building, police stormed the place and began searching for the suspected shooters, the search ran door to door and on the fire escapes as well. After around 2 hours of searching the police had apprehended 4 suspects and recovered loaded guns that were discarded in the building.

This time after the massive response the police did not go on a ticket blitz and you didn’t see 4 cars pulled over up Kingston Ave., maybe they are seeing that we aren’t the problem here?

    Shmuly: i understand that there are a lot of accidents recently in crown heights, but that doesn’t mean that if u move out of it that all these accidents will stop! u know wat i mean?
    yes, crown heights is very dangerous in some areas but so is anywhere else.
    ”You can try to leave all ure problems by leaving crown heights, but they will most probably always be with you”.

    G’luck.

    yanky:there arent alot of accidents "recently",there have always been accidents,however now their getting coverage,thats y u hear about them.

  • name

    the shomrim made the call to the cops they are just great i think it was webby who calld it in good job shomrim/webby

  • wondering

    i dont know why shomrim always haveto be everywhere. This is clearly and cops and "robbers" issue and those goyim in the building are dangerous and had been drug busted before. Why do the shomrim always havto stick there camera, or themselves in where its not necessary! There was no jews and plenty of cops to take matters into their own hands. So webby keep that camera for good stuff!

  • Not wondering

    to wondering:
    Shomrim did a great job if they were the ones who called this in to the cops. Thanks to whoever called this in, 4 thugs and 4 loaded guns are now thankfully off the street. Persuming that they didn’t call it in, there is still a point in them being there, if for no other reason than just to boost their relationship with the local police, and show that we support them.

    As for the camera, I believe it is unrelated. Why don’t you ask AP why they are taking pics in Iraq, on 47th st., and at every other incident you hear or see in the news, (they are clearly cop/robber-aarmy/terrorist issues). This is whats news services are for; to discover and report on the NEW happenings around town. Part of that reporting is providing details of the story, which sometimes (hopefully more than not) include pics and videos. Just think how much profit ‘fox’ (or any other news service) would be making if there were no photos or clips to play along with their newscasts!
