The police are at 36th Street every weekend without fail. I pass through there every early Saturday and Sunday around 3:30 / 4am on the way work. You can have the homeless occupying a 4-seat area at the end of the car with their shopping cart and possessions and the officers with ignore them.

But if one of those prom / party goers is sleeping or passed out on more than one "seat" (bit harder to define on NTT blue benches) out comes the baton or folding stick and BANG-BANG-BANG on the grab poles to wake them up. Sometimes sitting up is enough, but others they'll do to them what they did to Ms. Wilson up there.

The same level of police presence - sometimes up to 6 officers - happens on the A/C/F platforms at Jay Street, the platforms at DeKalb Avenue, and at Atlantic Avenue.

Honestly, it feels like I see more police on the trains at night than I do during the day. I don't believe that they are out there strictly to fill ticket quotas, but writing them is one way to justify their seemingly expanded presence at night.

That's my 2-cents.
