New York: The guardian angels in NYC - BBC Travel Show

In New York, every year over 13 million people head there from all over the world to enjoy what the city has to offer . But back in the late 1970s the city had a notorious crime record and wasn’t quite so welcoming to overseas tourists.
But 40 years ago the volunteer group, the Guardian Angels, tried to do something about it, and they're still going strong today.

[@francdubois7832]

If I was the leader of the organisation I’d do away with the uniforms and just have its members wear civilian clothing, with exception of an identifiable marker to fellow members. Uniforms just attract heat from criminals, the press, and cops.

The Brooklyn New York Vision Free Per View not only that Sliwa is a leftist Trump hater and Bernie and Hillary boot licker. The gumbo needs to stick with his current job and forget about becoming a mayor. Not a mayor material we need.

[@jerseykenpo2118]

What a sad state of affairs, It's 2021 and they are still doing this because money is not being spent in the correct places. There should be police stationed on the subways to stop this from happening they know what the problem is so why don't they fix it?

[@hus390]

Today, the police is in the subway. They can be in every ride. The Angels are less vital today than in the 80s when they were necessary.

Jimmy Olsen Jimmy Olsen nope it was Regan who cut 4.4 billion dollars in federal funding to programs like CETA which specifically gave vocational and skilled training to unemployed young people in the early 70’s. The Regan admin perfectly coincides with New York’s decline and the crack epidemic.
