[@gingergia4169]

I share your sentiment, as well as hoping for a Y2K-forward edition as well... the Wendy's massacre would totally fall under that and like these events, many weren't born yet and I feel the best part of these videos are informing oneself. For many like me, it's a reminder of how things were.

18:38-18:45 are photos of Officer Byrne; Officer Anthony McLean (a housing cop shot and killed stumbling upon criminal activity while searching for a missing girl, she was found at a relative's house later); Sgt. John McCormick (killed when an officer and suspect struggled for a gun during a warrant execution, he was supposed to retire the week after); Officer Gary Peaco (an ambulance clipped the car he was in as he and his partner rushed to assist in a robbery with shots fired and he was thrown from the vehicle); Officer Joe Galapo (inadvertently shot by his partner's gun while arresting narcotics suspects); Officer Christopher Hoban (shot during an undercover drug buy); and Officer Michael Buczek (shot trying to arrest suspects on drug charges). 19:04- Victim's name was Judith Anne Wrappe. She exited the subways and was near the home she lived with her aunt and uncle after her waitressing shift. Was a first-year student at Pratt. How long was she here for from Arkansas? ONE WHOLE WEEK. Frank DeChirico was on parole for 5 remaining years for a previous manslaughter conviction when he shot her. He got a 32 to life sentence a year after for killing Judith, and according to online sources has failed at receiving parole again. He netted $27 when he did it.

The majority of cops in the 1980s We're robbing dealers Of their money and drugs. Police officers then were more crooked than the criminals.

Mark David Chapman the night he shot John Lennon, was found with a copy of the The Catcher and the Rye (allegedly used in MK-Ultra) in which he had written "This is my statement" and signed Holden's name the protagonistof the book. Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing. NY Post reported on a possible 2nd shooter? Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer's apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her. After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room (though with other books).

[@Bigghaze]

Wow that's one of my fav books. We had to read it for English class.

Had to read that in school, you said used in mk-ultra. I'm not shocked, the us gov is creating super soldiers brainwashing ppl and programming them to commit heinous crimes, member the guy from out of town coming to be subway shooter in NYC. He didn't have no reason but was used as a tool commit an act for distraction and cause distress in the city

​@@realnewyorkcityliving2065very true but let me say this. I'm originally from South Jamaica Queens and I have been following statistics since a teenager and I believe that NY politicians fudge crime statistics. Esp murders. So their might be alot of more murders that are not included in the statistical data too make NY look safer than it really is.
