What is "Police Activity" anyway?
Friday, December 03, 2004
The beginning of the holiday season must signal the beginning of the season for crime and “Police Activity!”
Police have been all busy routing traffic away from bus lines, parks, and subways all this week. Basically, it’s been everywhere the i’ve travelled this week. It’s like it’s following me...hehehe just kidding. But it has been kind of strange that all these “Police Activities” happening on my route have all happened in a span of about 3 days. I keep wondering what’s been happening. Police investigations, crime scenes, etc. Central Park was closed at 86th. What are people doing out there?
Are people just watching too much CSI New York? Does more commercialism during the holiday season drive people to criminal activity and insanity? Is it just that muggers are also looking for that “perfect” gift to steal for their loved ones? Or are police really into elaborate, traffic-causing practical jokes?
Oh and there was a fire in the apartments right across the street from me. There were so many firetrucks outside my front door! Residents huddled in blankets and big jackets as they watched their apartments ablaze. You could hear the tinkling of glass as the fire fighters smashed through glass to provide ventilation. It was not a pretty sight. Yeah, those people need prayer.
What a great way to start the holidays…
