Reply to comment by Remarkable_Landscape in NYC public libraries say proposed budget cuts may 'push us over the edge' by King-of-New-York

I've been wondering about this. My Citizen App scans all the police and fire traffic. The number of times in 24 hours the police are actually called is really a handful of times.

Like almost never. Try it yourself. One homeless guy the other day, He was really doing nothing. 2 ambulances, at least 3 NYPD patrol cars, on the scene. It was the UES, but seemed way overboard.

And then everyone just walked away. He just stayed there, seemed amazed by all the attention. Guess it's what we're paying for.

No it doesn't. There are roughly over 3000 911 calls a day. Even excluding all the purely medical calls, do you think every single one is on Citizen?
