What? No clear shot?(/S)

Good for Sliwa. Cops probably respect him over Deblasio, since they did NOT follow his orders.

Very good!

To exercise freedom is to be free.

I give them credit for not going into his back yard and shooting his dog.

..But, but the mayor said any swimmers would be literally dragged out of the water! Good for you Sliwa, to call their bluff.

I met Sliwa once on W34th Street near Madison Square Garden.IIRC that's near where WABC had their studios and it was during the time he had a radio show on WABC.

A nice,friendly guy...he gave me his business card and I still have it...somewhere!

When the Parks Department (my high school summer employer) get their own cops?

So walking on the beach is safe, but the second your feet get wet you get CCPVIrus and speed it to grandma. Got it.

Sliwa is uniquely able to flaunt an illegal law in front of the cops and have them look the other way. He's been a big friend of law enforcement for 30 years or more.

I'm not sure the regular guy on the street would get the same treatment.
