Reply to comment by EugeneCross in Is Yonkers considered safe? by idrugzs

Dude our police don't even show up when you call them. When they show up three or four hours after an event happened they usually take little if any notes at all. They don't bother to report anything because it requires extra paperwork. Our mayor is the son of a former mob boss. Our politicians have rewritten the rule books so that they can now run indefinitely. Our police don't actually live in Yonkers. They use the addresses of their parents or grandparents who still live here. Italians make up 13% of the population but represent over 70% of the police. The politicians have literally bought off every single form of media so that no one can talk about the truth. Every politician that is currently running is in the pockets of the mayor. Yonkers is mostly safe during the day. At night time there are many neighborhoods that you shouldn't be outside in.
