Weekend Update - 5.12.07

Sunday night, old-style craziness ensues over at 2xx, yet again. 13 people drinking, including all the local drug dealers... and cars stopping quite a bit, suggesting a new shipment arrived.

Calls to the 76 were swiftly answered, but nobody moved so we had to call again ... and again ... and finally the cop car waited there while the fiesta dispersed. Called again to ask why the officers didn't leave the car to issue summonses, not only because of apparent marijuana smoke but also open drinking. Was told it was at the officers' discretion and even if drinking was seen it wouldn't warrant a summons. (What!?!?!?) This, it seems, will be going on all summer.

Only in Crooklyn....
