Good morning Gotham City Batman we need you
Nowadays these criminals don't care about police or cameras. And they don't give a F about getting arrested because they know they will be released back on the streets do it all over again
So sad 😞 Manhunt after shooting absolutely out of control … these streets unsafe … 6th and 21st. the cars involved always high end Audi / Mercedes –
in this area late night robbery are targeted so sad people out trying to enjoy hope all people out clubbing stay safe and clubs ramp up security ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
We need to start fighting back and taking this city back. Don’t be afraid of these punks. Y’all should of seen what I did to this bum that tried to car Jack me three days ago. He got a nice hack from my machete to his ribs. Hope he changes his mind about a life of crime and got a job now
How come the NYPD is not using drones to spot areas of high crime? Where is all the effort our Mayor is claiming is being utilized to fight crime?
"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
By God's GRACE ✝️, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.
Why do police even try if criminals will just be let out
you get what you vote for
Why do they not mention the ethnic or racial characteristics of these offenders?
So the criminal seem to be smarter than the police officers, since they got away.
Back to the pjs they go lmao
Conceal and carry. Only way to fix. You all down there need to vote KH out!
I was there 8am on my way to work, block was closed off with yellow tape, nypd didn't let me go to Starbucks in the middle of the block 21 and 6ave 😞
Diversity, equity and inclusion strikes again! I’m surprised they didn’t take off in a Charger.
Sorry only police officer's know how to drive off in Chelsea of all places just vanished .. smh 🤔

GTA SERVER SMH
Wow.. we got more of a description of what the plain cloths cops were wearing but no description of the suspects…Hmmmm would anyone like to take a wild guess???
How do you have a shootout with cops and get away with all the surveillance and cops in NYC? Wow.
CHELSEA???!
I go shopping around there to Michael's and Burlington and Blick but I'm never there in the middle of the night – thank God this didn't happen during the day! 😣
Shoot to kill next time on these criminals!
De Blasio and co should be in prison for leaving the city like this. Adams isn't any better.However he did not create this mess. If De Blasio even thinks of running for any government office he should be sued or place a big fat lean on him.
It’s a beautiful thing, Batman where are you !
Don't worry hochul adams and Bragg will fix all of this 🤣
Nice city mayor…….joke

These animals were able to get away in NYC traffic? Even at 2:45 am I would think In a car you are going to be boxed in sooner or later.
Why would police interfere with someone just trying to make a living? Vote democrat ONLY if you agree.
