So has anyone else noticed an increased cop presence around McCarren of late? The last two nights I've seen kids run from the cops only to get caught RIGHT ON MY MOTHERFUCKING STOOP. And then this morning around the park I saw loads of vials/empty baggies, clearly from kids dumping their stashes (cutty go look behind the trash cans on bayard for serious). The real scary shit is that the other night I walk out on my stoop to smoke and a cop has some kid pressed up against the fence about five feet away, and then proceeds to PULL A GUN OFF OF HIM. Both of these 12-year-olds were fucking carrying. Unbelievable.
