It’s outrageous that Saturday night’s 40-car “street takeover” in Queens devolved into arson and assaults on residents who dared intervene, but it’s also horrific if a 911 dispatcher told callers that the vehicular melee was a “quality of life” non-emergency, so they needed to call 311 .
As all New Yorkers know, 311 is where complaints go to die.
OK, the NYPD has no record of that 911 call, and says it responded rapidly (on an insane night in the precinct) to what it first registered as just a “drag racing” complaint…
