Police have stepped up security at two Brooklyn stationhouses after a report they are being targeted by a notorious Baltimore gang, police sources and the Sergeants Benevolent Association said Tuesday night.
A police source said that Emergency Service Unit cops were sent to the 79th and 81st precinct stationhouses in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville after an informant reported the threat, but it had not yet been validated.
An NYPD spokesman would not confirm the threat or if security was heightened at either station.
But a Daily News reporter witnessed two ESU trucks parked in front of the 79th precinct and four SWAT members standing in the building’s lobby with rifles in hand.

At the 81st precinct, two SWAT members guarded the lobby along with
three officers, with a couple more SWAT officers around the corner."My wife, she’s actually at home crying right now. It’s tough," said one of the SWAT members.

Here's an idea for police everywhere-stop acting like stormtroopers,stop treating citizens as the enemy,stop seizing peoples legally owned property in the failed war on drugs,stop seizing legally earned cash and property from citizens during traffic stops,stop having drug sniffing dogs falsely "alert"on cars so you can search them,stop violently taking citizens to the ground,tazing and pepper spraying them for not "obeying" your "commands",remember-shiny badges do NOT grant special rights!
