to just how little people give a [ bleep ] about bike theft. i just got a lot of glares. one person screamed somebody while they were working, but nobody stopped. off camera a parked policewoman does approach malik. she came up and said you can t ride that in here. you have to walk it out of the park. and i had giant bolt cutters in my hand and a stolen bike. hood up. sunglasses on. trying to look as criminal as possible. casey s next tool takes the game to a whole new level, a noisy cordless angle grinder that winds its way through chain. this time the police do show up. after nine minutes. and casey tells them his story when the police finally showed up, i was kind of relieved, once they didn t arrest me. i was a little bit happy to see them.
but the truth is in the big apple bike theft is a low police priority. so what is the takeaway? is there a lesson to be learned from their study? people are so crazy about certain things in new york. you see people arguing over basically nothing. like you bump into somebody by accident and that will be a huge fight. but you steal a bike right in front s face, and they just look at you. coming up, an attack on a cop tests the onlookers at a fast food restaurant. i was worried about the guy grabbing the officer s gun and shooting all of us. when caught on camera: what would you do returns.
the second theft takes place directly in front of a police station. i m going to use every criminal s favorite tool, the crowbar. in two minutes, the lock is off. wish the cops would bust me. and casey rides away. the nypd doesn t seem to notice. he might as well be invisible. for this next experiment, my friend is going to steal the bicycle. i m black. brandish being large bolt cutters, he strolls into a public park and cuts several large chains off his bike. do onlookers behave any differently when the thief is african-american? they didn t. it s like if you were paramount to the lack of racism in the this city or just that it speaks volumes to how little [ bleep ] people to give bike theft.
no one said anything, just a lot of eyes. off camera, a parked police woman does approach him. she walks up to my and says you can t ride that in here, you have to walk it out of the park. and i had the giant bolt cutters in my hand with this stolen bike. hood up. sun glasses on, trying to look as criminal as possible. casey s next tool takes it to a whole new level, a cordless angle grinder that wipeds its way through the chain. this time, the police do show up after nine minutes. and casey tells them his story. when the police finally showed up, i was kind of relieved, i mean, once they didn t arrest me. i was a little happy to see them. but the truth is, in the big apple, bike theft is a low priority. so what s the take away? is there a lesson to be learned
his family when it krshed into an electric line. his wife and children were air lifted to a hospital with life threatening injuries. the plane that crash landed at new york s laguardia airport had the pilots swap controls shortly after landing. that move is unusual. the ntsb didn t reveal the explanation for it. we are told it was the captain s second flight into laguardia. finally a cardboard cop oh is fighting crime. it s the image of a real life officer. the station is having problems with bike theft. since the cardboard officer went on 24-hour duty, bike thefts are way down. the officer is glad it s help heing. getting the job done. he s scary. imposing. even as a cutout.
