Descrizione
Recently there's been a group of young boys (teenagers and young adults) riding in groups in the general vicinity of Wooster Square. They ride into oncoming traffic, disregarding common traffic rules (and common sense). These young men have also actively intimidated several friends walking in the area.
Most recently on 10/26/2014 there was some kind of incident at the Chapel/Wooster Pl corner of the park. There were several police cars parked there. I was heading up Chapel towards the park and at least 15 of these boys were blocking the entire street, riding in and out of traffic unpredictably, with bandanas covering their faces. Some hit the cars with their fists as they went by very slowly. The cops were choosing to ignore them, which I've seen several times in the past month - kids doing wheelies, blocking traffic, and intimidating drivers - with nearby police seemingly ignoring the problem.

I can't think of anything more important than maintaining a safe environment in the city. We all need to insist this is addressed.
If the Police are in fact ignoring this type of intimidation and harrassment it needs to be safely video recorded from within a vehicle and brought to the chief of police

The police arrested a youth in the action of robbing an unlocked bike; kids on bikes showed up, following the action. The police did not ignore them, they could do nothing. Bikes at rest and riders are viable targets. Kids scattering on bikes are unstoppable: cops in cruisers cannot catch them , and risk hurting citizens during pursuit.
If you lived in another neighborhood, you would see incidents like this every day.
Cheers!
