I would normally never reply but this seemed so absolutely stupid I just had to.

“ I also discovered that men peeing in subway cars started under Mayor de Blasio and is merely continuing under Mayor Adams.”

Seriously??? Like people didn’t pee on the subway and worse during Giuliani??? Not to mention I’ve been in nyc since the 60s and people have been peeing in the subway since then. Hard to take this clearly partisan stipidity seriously when facts speak loud and clear to those not blinded by their political afflictions

Of course CWO4 Terrence Clark. It’s just an urban fact part of life. Hence why one tries to get out or make enough to not have to rely on public anything

Well, you're always welcome down here in the Old Pueblo. Drop in to Famous Sam's (most) Friday afternoons. Watch or participate, as we find new ways to piss each other off.

I know this post is a week old but where there are homeless, there will be public defecation. Even if there are laws on the books which there are it's on the individual officer to enforce them. Most transit cops don't have the time of day to deal with the homeless. Most transit systems aren't apart of city politics either. Example SEPTA doesn't answer to the city of Philadelphia or the state or Pennsylvania. They receive funding from the city of Philadelphia, state of Pennsylvania and DOT. Yet a bulk of their revenue is from ticket sales. You see homeless do stupid shit at any given time of the day but it's worse late at night or early in the morning vs middle of the day. An even if transit cops do detain the homeless they don't have arresting powers. They can only hold the person until city or whatever town police show up depending on station where said homeless causes issue. There isn't enough funding in the world to solve homeless issues. It doesn't matter if the funds are government regulated or used by a private institution such as a church. The repeat offends will get into programs if detox, housing, ect get better and when something causes them to relapse on drugs or whatever that coups with a issue they could have it could be a risk of loosing employment. The reason you don't see high homeless rates in rural areas is because people tend to stay away from them. It's easier to try to get help In a major populated area or city than a county or town that has social services that doesn't get much funding. We see so many homeless veterans across the country denied service's at a VA center or even possibly a state service because of whatever reason. Ranging from discharge type to lack of identification to criminal conviction or repeat drug use. Just my two cents.

Another thing I want to add is most homeless caught by cops or detained by transit police are repeat offenders. Even if they keep being arrested, fined, jailed, they keep going through same cycle. So half the time the cops don't do anything with those select few because they become a burden on the taxpayers expense. Look at how many people try to get arrested once released from Clinton jail or prison as an attempt to stay incarnated because they know they can't make it on the outside. We judge people time and time again that once they do something minor or extreme they become and unproductive or uncivil member of city. You've worked in prisons if I'm not mistaken I'm sure your fully aware of what I'm talking about.
