I thought I was going insane! I’ll be walking along and see a nasty snarl where the box is blocked really badly, and meanwhile the police aren’t helping matters with their weaving in an out at random.

The police seem uninterested in getting cars parked in travel lanes to move or stopping people who run red lights.

The only target the ones that make honest mistakes. the ones that deliberately run stop signs, or do u turn in their faces and run red lights ,Burn Rubber or speed are ignored.

That's because many cops sees these people as individuals trying to set them up for a Chase and possible liability if they end up shooting or injuring the perpetrators. I think Newark is one of those cities w civilian police complaint board so police are not going to do anything that will jeopardize their jobs. Unless the officers are specifically dispatched to a certain situation, they will look the other way and mind their own business.
