Really? Posting a police presence after multiple people are attacked and pushed onto subway tracks is performance theater?

Yes, given that there aren’t enough cops to be everywhere at once and the presence of the cops isn’t necessarily going to deter random acts of violence.

Plus cops end up posted by the turnstiles looking to ticket fare jumpers than be on the platforms doing fuck-all.

Except your whole argument falls apart because crimes in the subway went down significantly after the mayor/governor flooded the subway system with cops.
