My guess is the parents are divorced and Dad is with the kid on alternate weekends. There’s hope.
So it’s a stroller DAD. Good luck with that kid and the anger problem.
How about a post showing a picture of the long line at the Starbucks on Court. Scandal!
7:41, why do you assume it’s a stroller MOM? seems like you’re the pig.
What a lame Closing Bell, Brownstoner. But you really know your audience well… a little catnip for the complainers, most of whom sound like they moved to Brooklyn from Seattle in the late ’90’s. Aside from the petty two-minute delay that obviously turned Flatbush Ave upside down, there’s a real issue of a 60 year old infrastucture that exists in NYC. It’s ANCIENT.
Everyone hates the cops, but they’re not that bad in NYC. It’s a crappy job. But if you had a picture of the Subaru blocking the box, which also happens every day, it would be a non-story.
Special Kudos to 5:03 Stroller Mom who ‘hates the fucking pigs’. Your kid hears everything you say. Pass it on, Mom.
I have a great deal of respect for the police who do their job well and those that are taking risks. Cops who really do serve and protect have my respect. However this is a small fraction of the department. I can’t say the same for the sneaky parking cops who write tickets at light speed and watch meters expire, all for purpose of creating revenue for the city. I can’t tell you how many times I catch them sneaking up on me when I’m, double parked for just a minute, trying to load or unload my car. I feel like it’s some grand, cat & mouse game. It’s ethically wrong. No wonder many of us have lost respect for the police department when often we feel like a victim.
8:39pm Yes, yes. I took a criminology course in college as well. Yes, yes, France and Europe experienced widespread crime wave from young adults (18-25) after the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent unemployment of hundreds of thousands of solders. Yes, yes, crime and aggressiveness and being single, not having a skilled vocation, education, abusive childhood, all have bearings on crime and the first modern police force was developed in London then followed by NYC. Before that the Army was used to police the populace. But 8:05pm specifically stated murder as the example and not general crime.
In a perfect world, having a four year degree should be required in order to be a cop. There are way too many stupid, thuggish cops for my taste. And, come on, how hard is it to get a college degree? Hard enough for the losers not to pass which is perfect.
If criticizing the police is made illegal, you will be living in a police state.
the wsb building is a pretty one
