New york literaly turned into Gotham 💀

[gworsham]

Damn even the police look like a New York street Gang in the 80s like it's gonna pop off any moment

NYC was so dystopian then. Looking at these videos is still scary.

The officers wore leather jackets back then. You can't get any cooler than that and it was good leather I remember. I always wanted one of those jackets.

There's a fantastic documentary about the New York subway in the late 70s. It's called The Warriors.

Oh shit! That's me in the first few seconds of the clip! That was when I was in the Guardian Angels back in the early to mid 1980's patrolling the NYC subways. Wow! My eldest sister sent me a clip of that a few years ago from another site. I had to subscribe to this channel right now just for seeing myself there. I'm facing right at the camera. This is unreal that my picture is still floating around after over 40 years! Incredible.

When I see this it reminds me of two movies Warriors and King of New York

[trope]

Ah, the good old days. NYC was so gritty back then.

[caesarsigala]

People get nostalgic about the 80s then see this. Magical time my ass.

Some people talk about NY now. New York before the mid 90's and the creation of CompStat was nothing to be played with. Its crazy to look at.

[Resh]

I used to ride those trains every day. They were an absolute nightmare.

[franklyspeaking]

My old man was a Conductor during these rough and tumble days in the subway. Hell, he even got hit over the head with a 2x4 at Gun Hill Road station back in the day. I love and miss you poppa. You’re the best.

[JiveCinema]

That's why I laugh at all those idiots that cry about New York now. They have no idea how it was back in the day.

"Welcome to the show" they are not lying 😂

[D-Rizzle]

Man New York in the 80’s was a different World

[idontknow]

People who say the world was innocent before 9/11 have rose tinted memory syndrome.

[mdhbh]

The subways were messed up but the night life was on point. Nobody could touch NYC 24hr clubs in this era.

[Daiymian]

I remember it well. Moved to NY in 1980 and left in '97. My fondest memories of the 80s in NY had nothing to do with the Subway fortunately.

You should’ve seen the bronx at this time during the crack epidemic it looked like a 3rd world country people getting shot every day or so, abandoned building on every street
