Let us look into the larger picture. Anyone in the NYC area will know,
by watching the TV news, that.

There were over 5000 (that's right 5000) subway fires on the IRT. IRT management
incompotence blamed because they are under the same union contract as the 
rank and file.

A TRANSIT police person is cut off from the outside world because the radios
don't work underground. And if a call was made by a TRANSIT Police Officer
a street cop at the top of the subway stairs well within radio range, would 
not hear it because he is not on the TRANSIT frequency.

First lady cop in NYC killed by subway chain (necklace) snatcher.

Subway grafitti artist killed while being arrested by transit police.

Transit cop arrested four youths by using a pay phone to call for help.

Actress raped and killed on the roof of her own building by superintendants
son. (Roofs are usually the only safe place in NYC outside of your appartment.)

"The system is breaking down all over." says Mayor Kotch.

-------------------------

This is a basic news recap of the last two weeks. 

Now, you sit on a subway and tell me that if four black youths approach you
and demaned money you wouldn't feel your life wasn't in danger. 

The point is, unless you live in, or near, NYC you don't know what life is
like on the subways. 

------------------------

I have one question. Why, after repeated attempts by Mr. Goetz to increase
the number of police in his area and having no results, did the NYPD put
and extra 80 officers, uniformed, undercover, horses and a dog, around
goetz's appartment building. I'm not making a point, I just don't know
who is trying to prove what.
