So lets see I make a suggestion about police protection in the area and instead of suggestions I am now looked at as a troll or whatever. This is pure ignorance. What happened to the subject of ways to support people downtown and their protection.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

To Everyone, I simply created an opportunity for our neighborhood to be safe. All of you have opinions on whether its a precinct or not and this other stuff that doesn't forward the conversation if we should create a way to have more protection in the neighborhood. Its no wonder things happen if the only thing we can is TALK ABOUT THE SITUATION and not given an alternative thought that we can get with. It doesn't have to be the thought I came up with, but something that forwards our protection in the neighborhood. Does anyone have any suggestions on that? I don't spend time on what I like or don't like about something. If it doesn't sound right you offer another solution; not arguments. it doesn't help anyone and its very petty.

All opinions are welcome but no need for condescending remarks.

I hope you all enjoy your day and I am looking for people who would like to support police protection in the area. Any ideas anyone.

You know I just signed up for JC List today and was simply saying something. This does not need to be a forum to correct people. Everyone has an opinion. I would like it to saty. If many of you feel otherwise that is fine. I live VERY VERY VERY close to it almost on top of it for over 10 years and yes I agree with you all in some ways and some ways no. I have seen first hand that people knowing its there choose not to commit a crime. And semantics on whether its a precinct or not doesn't really matter. Do you really get caught up in certain things.

The bottom line is I have heard young people aay as they walk by better not do anything don't know who is ther or who is not there. A traffic stop verses somewhat getting hurt, stabbed or shot are two different things.

I have, too, had officers let things go. Frankly, I rather have presence than no presence. So I have my opinion you have yours.

When we speak lets speak from a place of solution instead of trashing someone else's opinion.

Its interesting we could go back and forth as many do on JC List. We live very very close to that precinct. I tell you yes you are right it does happen. I will tell you though that it doesn't happen as much as the fact that people don't see the 7th precinct and there are problems. THe police can't be everywhere. I would rather have something than to have nothing and quite frankly people begin to go as they say "BUCK WILD". Many of us have lived downtown for over 20 years or are jersey city natives. If we have the attitude something is not worth having, we will attract that same energy and sentiment from others. So I don't disagree with you, yet I think it still warrants having it there or things will be out of control more than you think. I walk pass here every day.

Well they are getting rid of the police presence on Erie Street and that does help the neighborhood with knowing the other precinct is also located on 7th Street. Now they are moving.

One of the detectives suggested we petition the new condos going up since they will have stores one of those stores are made into substation for police officers. What are your thoughts. We are already having break ins in Hamilton Park Area.

Live near grove street and I can tell you I have been hearing people walking on our roof and I am on top floor. We need to spread the word more and get this out in the neighborhood.
