I once read, in the testimony of a non-Jewish professor who lived in Germany in the early 1930s, that the awareness of what was happening to the Jews was, in his words, “like watching grass grow: You didn’t see it — and then it was over your head.”
Thank your for a writing about these two police officers, young men, people who were killed. (Formerly) very liberal mom of a cop here, and worried always about my son's well-being. Yesterday, I made two posts on Facebook -- one about the flowers on my mantelpiece; another citing the death of Officer Mora. Sixty "likes" already on the flowers; three on the murdered officer.
I pretty much lived in New York for two years from 2018-2019, and this kind of thing was pretty rare. The subway was a bit dirty and there were some homeless people around, but there wasn't the sense of danger. Now, almost everyone I know who lives in New York has a story of being harassed by vagrants. It's shocking how quickly it's deteriorated.
It's evident. I am a NYC girl and, as mentioned in the piece, I have never seen the subways even close to as gross and, at times, intimidating as they are now
