Can he possibly be that stupid?
As another FReeper put it so eloquently yesterday; “this is all about revenue.”
It’s time City Hall got back to backing the NYPD.
I can’t remember the date but it was at least 20 years ago. There was a labor dispute between NY’s cops and the city. The cops wanted a raise. The city responded it didn’t have the money. For the next week the city was practically paralyzed as the cops wrote millions of dollars worth of tickets. The police negotiator said, “There’s the money, where’s our raise?” Since then I’ve had a new understanding of policing and what it’s really for, revenue. I found it almost impossible to watch cop TV shows after that.
I read someplace where NYPD brass cancelled all vacations until the Blue Flu dies down...
If you have a job, work it, otherwise quit, don’t just keep sucking at the trough
“Bratton says he still doesn’t know the root causes”
Really? I suggest Brtton’s days are numbered for no other reason than he is suffering from dimentia.
It will be a cold day in hell before an NYPD ever rousts a street peddler again.
The sidewalks of NY are open for business. Loosies, whatever.
He reports to his boss. If he wants to keep his job he will have to grovel, lie, and cover up.
If he had any decency, he would quit and go to a city where his efforts would be appreciated. And make less money.
Bratton should resign in disgrace.
I have read that New York City has +- 35,000 cops. I wonder how many of that 35,000 have filed applications with other police departments. I know the county I live in has a lot of deputies that made lateral moves here to get out of the sewers they had to work in.
This is hilarious. de Blasio is a bully, who thinks he can insult and sneer at 35,000 cops while embracing criminals, and yet the cops must mindlessly obey him, because they are “mere hirelings”.
His attitude about the police is just like those liberals who said that the only reason people join the military is that they are too dumb to hold minimum wage jobs.
The trouble is that they believe this so much that they think they can take any ignorant gang-banger and make them a soldier just by issuing them a pistol. And de Blasio probably thinks the same thing about the police.
So at some point, I suspect de Blasio is going to try mass firings of police, while trying to hire thousands of replacements. Which should be the heights of hilarity.
Anti cop muzzi
Why doesn’t he just call Sharpton and have him police the streets.
GO Ducks
It's all about the money.
And the NYPost refers to the assassin as an ‘anti-cop maniac’ per Bratton’s words?? Or were those words the Post’s delusional description? Until EVERYONE tells the truth about the murders and terrorist attacks, we will never move forward.
How touching. Will this concern for law and order be in place when the next anti-cop protests tie up major thoroughfares, tunnels and bridges? (Only Al Sharpton knows for sure.)
In other words:
Come on guys, We Need the MONEY!
WE NEED THEM NUSANCE TAXES!!!
WE NEED THAT THERE MUNNNNNNIEEEE!
WE NEEEED IT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$NOW NOW NOW!!!!!
NOW GET BACK TO HARASSING SMOKERS AND PEEEEPLE WITH CARS!!!!
