And no one listened

Ed, I’ve been calling that drug line for two years, telling them about the drug activity on Hoffman Avenue, and no one did anything. A young man had to get shot for us to get a big flood light here so we can live safe. Two years, Ed, and no one did nothing. These boys sold drugs on this street like crazy. Cars pulled up from everywhere, Pennsylvania, school buses, and they were selling drugs like crazy and the police did nothing. I’ve had with this town.
Tipster
Well, not to cut the cops too much slack, but they must receive tips of drug activity every two seconds, and they only have so many of those giant floodlights.—Ed. Note

Bull, why have the tip line if there are not enough police to respond? and don't give me that overwhelmed excuse, everyone knows there are a lot of drugs in this city. Why aren't the police prepared in everyway to do whatever they have to. Shining a light on the subject, is no help if it can't be backed up by the police. This is a common occurance in this city. East Stuyvesant Ave is a cellpool and the police have known about it for years. That filthy convenience store on the corner of Prospect St and E.Stuyvesant Ave, is nothing but a haven for drug dealers and money laundering practices. I've called several times about what I think are illegals working in the store. The walkspace in the store is about 8 inches wide and its packed with food from floor to ceiling, it's a fire trap. It's obvious there hasn't been a ciy inspection on the sight in years. The dealers are either in the store or on the street in front of the store. Either way there are obvious illegal activities going on there
and again no one seems to notice.
Let's see how long this message will take to get out. Why do decent people have to suffer the circumstances the police have informed them that they would be responsible for?
