Closing Bell: Clinton Hill Crime Press Conference & Rally
In the wake of last week’s shooting at the corner of Putnam and Grand Avenues, Councilmember Tish James is holding a press conference to raise awareness and, hopefully, call for more attention and crime-fighting resources for this corner of Clinton Hill.

In the wake of last week’s shooting at the corner of Putnam and Grand Avenues, Councilmember Tish James is holding a press conference to raise awareness and, hopefully, call for more attention and crime-fighting resources for this corner of Clinton Hill. Despite decades of blatant drug dealing and violence on this corner, the 88th Precinct has either been unwilling or unable to clean it up for good. The event will be held in the triangular island formed by Grand, Putnam and Fulton at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Rain location: The Senior Citizen Center across the street at 966 Fulton Street.
Meanwhile across town, Councilmember Bill de Blasio and Assemblyman Jim Brennan host a forum at P.S. 154 tomorrow night from 5 to 7 p.m. about the recent robberies and murder in Windsor Terrace. The event takes place at PS 154, 1625 11th Avenue.
Brooklyn is disgusting.
crime in brooklyn?
really? lol
Tish, smmish. I have been in the neighborhood since the mid eighties and this building has been a problem time in and time out. Why don’t we go after the landlord. Oh I forgot section 8. We are supposed to protect these criminals.
I also saw the activity at Classon and Lafayette on Sunday. Cops everywhere, a red SUV with windows shot out wrapped in yellow ‘Caution’ tape. Three or four NYPD cars parked on the sidewalks at every corner surrounding Lafayette Houses, NYPD chopper circling above for quite a while. Around 3:30 pm.
I will be there as well- but don’t expect anything from tish besides lip service and a good photo op for her
Yes – shots were fired on Classon on Sunday. Saw it reported on gothamist. Also saw the helicopters above.
nothing happened on classen and laf. on sunday. inflammatory BS.
and yes, the bigger problems are the way drugs/poverty/etc are handled in this society, but drug dealing isnt okay, kids get killed, its got to stop.
8:56 isn’t expressing his/her real sentiments – s/he is trolling to get a rise out of people. Ignore him/her.
Guest 8:56 Your comment is ridiculous!
We all love Brooklyn…but we don’t love the senseless violence that has popped up all over Clinton Hill. And people like you, who turn a blind eye, are apart of the problem.
Unbelievable.
