The Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is expected to join the Connecticut Civil Rights Coalition at a press conference Tuesday to urge Gov. Dannel Malloy to protect the rights of Muslim students in the state.
The coalition's request comes following the revelation that the New York City Police Department spied on Muslim students at Yale University in New Haven and other northeastern universities without warrants, legal jurisdiction or probable cause.
A press conference will be held at noon to ask Malloy to probe Muslim spying by the NYPD and will ask for efforts to protect Muslim civil rights by Yale University and local law enforcement.
The press conference will be held in front of New Haven City Hall on Church Street.
I don’t have a problem with the NYPD monitoring muslims. I have a problem with them monitoring anyone outside of NY.
A reasonable position, they were outside of their
jurisdiction.
The law suits being brought by these muslim front organizations will come back to hamstring us
when the time comes that we need to monitor
these fanatics.
The NYPD has no business conducting any such law enforcement activities outside of New York.
Until we know the particulars of “why” the NYPD “spied” (i.e. monitored) Moslem students at Connecticut colleges, I suggest that we withhold judgment.
A couple observations based on many decades of investigative reporter on our internal enemies:
1. Students travel across state line, for good and evil. If something illegal is being planned in Connecticut, and those involved travel to NY, then they should be watched.
The legal question is “By whom”. Does the NYPD trust any Connecticut police agency, or do they feel that they have been coopted by the PC bug, far-left politicians (DeLaRosa, her marxist/crook husband, the New Haven communists, Hispanic leftists, other congressional leftists, local city council leftists, liberal cops)?
Having worked with several police departments in my time, I know that they segregated their intelligence operations from even the regular police units because of fear that local, radical and racial extremist politicians might get a hold of their work and expose it.
DC’s Mayor convict for life, crackhead Marion Barry, was up to his red neck in leftist affairs, and pal-ed around with other marxist local politicians including City Council members Julius Hobson, Eleanor Holmes Norton (the present non-voting DC representative in Congress), members of the Statehood Party led by marxist Hilda Mason, Norton, and Maurice Jackson, the head of the DC-VA Communist Party (he now teaches or teached for years at Georgetown Un.)
Other of Barry’s friends were criminals, political crooked cronies (bribes, contract fixing, etc), and drug-users.
Do you honestly think any police intelligence unit would want to trust him with internal security intelligence as well as criminal intelligence information?
Baltimore was just as bad; so is/was Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Detroit, under the Mayorship of Coleman Young, had a mayor, YOUNG, who was a lifelong member of the Communist Party USA, and many leading members of the Detroit City Council were well-documented CPUSA supporters and even activists with SOviet-KGB fronts such as the World Peace Council/US Peace Council.
In other states, even today, you will find marxist political figures, some with ties to the CPUSA (Arizona, Minnesota), DSA (many states, local politicians, city councils, including California), and even black extremist groups (NYC - Charles Barron).
Do you trust them with police intelligence information?
There is a lot more to this story than has been told so far, but unfortunately, the police often can’t tell their side of it because of security considerations.
As one who testified before Congress on communist penetration of the “peace movement”, I can tell you that key information I had about one important leader could NOT be made public for several reasons, but over the years, it has been shown to be not only true, but possibly a key to a Soviet espionage ring not yet uncovered (as far as is known), by the FBI.
Things are more complicated than you think, and the enemy stops at nothing to infiltrate, penetrate, subvert, deceive, and destroy our society.
To avoid keeping an eye on real or potential enemies because of Political Correctness, cowardice, or political pressure, is the best way to assure our destruction.
I don’t care why they spied on anyone outside of NY. They have a history of trying to enforce laws outside of their jurisdiction.
I can’t take my firearm into NY, even with my Florida CWP. screw NY
So a terrorist connected organization wants Americans to stop spying on terrorists??
Never saw that coming!
I agree with you about the liberal/leftist crap over a lack of reciprocity between states over Carry Permits. My son, a federal police officer, ran into that problem, eventhough he was going to a work assignment in another state.
Remember, Bloomberg the Dumb, runs the city and Cuomo that Authoritarian, runs the state. However, I’ve worked with an NYPD intelligence officer and he was/is great. It’s the upper brass who have caved into PCism.
However, we cannot afford to let our guard down, esp. the intelligence operations that are our first-line of defense of the homeland (fuck the DHS, they are incompetent). The FBI is becoming a capon, day by day.
If you think I'm kidding, just go back and see what they've been up to being "vigilant" by harassing law-abiding citizens selling firearms in other states.
There was a public outcry in the area, and owners of the shopping malls got together to consider legal action against New York City to put a stop to this in court. Their lawyers advised them that legal action was both expensive and unnecessary . . . and the best course of action would be to simply have the NYC law enforcement officials arrested for trespassing, since they had absolutely no legal right to do this in New Jersey.
Those legal protections are there for a reason. And over time it may well be that those legal protections are there to protect one jurisdiction from the actions of a police force filled with Muslims.
