NYPD Planning 'Strike' on July 4 to Give People Their 'Independence From Police'; Let's See What Happens....
PJ Media ^ | 06/18/2020 | Rick Moran

Flyers are circulating among New York City police officers calling for a “strike” on July 4 in order to give people a taste of what a world without police would be like.

This follows comments from Governor Andrew Cuomo on NPR on Monday where he said if people don’t want the police force, “they shouldn’t have it.”

It looks like at least some NYPD officers want to take the governor at his word.

New York Post:

A pair of flyers making their rounds among NYPD officers are encouraging them to call out sick July 4th — as retribution for police reform and a perceived anti-cop climate following the outrage over high-profile police killings of unarmed black men across the country, multiple cops told The Post.

One message calls for the strike to kick off at 3 p.m. July 4.

“NYPD cops will strike on July 4th to let the city have their independence without cops,” [reads] the message, which is being passed among cops via text, according to sources.

So far, the move to strike doesn’t appear to be catching fire with most cops, but who knows? It’s more than two weeks until July 4. That’s an eternity for rioters. And given that every single police shooting of a black man across the country is now under the microscope, it won’t take much to set the mob off again.

This particular effort to organize a strike isn’t the only one.

Another message seen by police officers reads #Bluflu and instructs cops to call out sick on Independence Day.

“Police officers like you and me took an oath to protect strangers regardless of race, class or gender,” the message reads. “Today we are vilified and must stand as one.”

If July 4th in NYC is police free, more people will be looting Macy’s than watching their fireworks.

Are they even having fireworks this year?

And have they made shells that burst looking like a Coronavirus?

deBozo needs to pre-position social workers on the street corners, so that everybody feels loved.

Yeah, that’ll work.

AWESOME ....Escape From New York meets Idiocracy, It reads like a sci-Fi horror film....

seriously though I think metro police should have third party oversight and accountability, with a "consitution" that establishes ASTM type standards for Rules of Engagement, minimum standards for training and continuing education, higher pay, and mandatory long vacation "hiatus periods" to allow de-stressing and collaboration with real life

NO MORE OF THIS " We are not here for the protection of the public" "us against them" crap

They were allowed to loot NYC when it wasn’t the 4th of July and NYPD was on patrol.

Just had another thought, Churches should hold service without masks, distancing and attendance limits.

What ever became of the rumor that 400 NYPD were going to resign, en masse, a week ago?

“Hello, 911 emergency service has been terminated due to the absence of police officers. For after crisis services, dial 711 for the city morgue, medical examiner, or paramedics.”

Strike for a week. People have short memories, they need an impact.

Who runs Bartertown?

Should be interesting to see management handle the city. DuhBlahzeeOH probably likes the idea. No?

Should be verrrrrryyyy interesting. And DumblASSio’s reaction should be a hoot, as he frantically tries to disown any responsibility for anything.

The police union better have a very large strike fund. New York’s Taylor law makes strikes by public employees illegal and imposes very large fines for every day on strike.
