Karen from Love Saves the Day gets a lesson on "love" from plainclothes NYPD 9th Precinct
Karen served in the military during Viet Nam and that entitles her to her vendor's license. Two very polite and professional plain clothes NYPD officers paid Karen a visit. They told her that they were being nice that she had several violations including a Playboy displayed which the NYPD officers informed her is pornography. Karen ended up getting a ticket for having her flea market items on the sidewalk... You would think the 9th Precinct had other priorities like protecting the community from rapists, drugs, etc. Most of all you would think the 9th Precinct would be trying to reach out to the community. The woman victim of the rape cops actually moved and left. When women are leaving because of the NYPD in the 9th Precinct because they don't feel safe that is not good.
Karen thought the officers were very nice. I asked her to describe them. She said one was collegiate.
The 9th Precinct is now called "The Rape Cop Precinct" and the rape cop's officer's locker was searched and they found heroin and aprox 20 women's telephone numbers of women that all live in the 9th Precinct's zone. The City of New York is being sued by the victim and I believe both officers are also being sued.
The 9th Precinct I believe has another potential law suit and that is one that borders on sexual McCarthyism. To see an actual clip and learn more click on the YouTube below.
YouTube "Behind Christine Quinn smile" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXoANkQh93I features plain clothes NYPD officers from the 9th Precinct raiding the porn store around the corner form the "new" 9th to arrest a gay man who activists believe was entrapped by a very handsome young NYPD officer who offered to give him oral sex for $50. Something like that..... I was told by an activist friend who spoke with the innocent man arrested that he is innocent and by the way this young guy was so handsome it was startling. I said I would pay 50 dollars! I was just joking of course. I have crazy stalkers that can't distinguish humor from reality as in loco so let me clarify just joking.
It does seem like certain people are above the law and others are being harassed by the NYPD.
Karen is going to court to fight the ticket. She is a positive person who loves the neighborhood and she wanted me to know the officers themselves told her they were being nice to her and they were professional. I would be awful to feel they singled her out for some reason.
Karen says she walks the line.
