down 94% for minor stuff, overall down 66%.

Arrests plummet 66% with NYPD in virtual work stoppage | New York Post

....I think we will have an interesting little civics experiment play out here. From stop and frisk and broken window policing to...eh, whatever.

I'm sure the criminal element in NYC won't take advantage of this. Crime is down so much, there probably isn't any criminal element left.

I talked to a Chicago Detective (and union lawyer) yesterday at the gym, and he believes that moral in the NYPD will plummet, and the proactive police work that has made NYC one of the safest in the US will suffer. Let's see if crime doesn't go up under this buffoon Bill de Blasio making such an idiotic comment. Can you imagine our POTUS making a similar statement about the US armed forces?

Summonses for low-level offenses like public drinking and urination also plunged 94 percent — from 4,831 to 300
All sarcasm....

Police sources said Monday that safety concerns were the main reason for the dropoff in police activity, but added that some cops were mounting an undeclared slowdown in protest of de Blasio’s response to the non-indictment in the police chokehold death of Eric Garner.
That's such bs. Do your damn job you fricken idiots. I know there are good cops out there, somewhere, but this whining from the NYPD just pisses me off. Don't strong arm people over little things that you assume, and stop overreacting to the point of someone's death. For an alleged cigarette.

They don't "feel safe" doing their jobs? Now they know how some of the citizens feel when they see a cop.

They should start doing their jobs by keeping the whiny protesters out of everyone's way where they belong.

That would be a good start. As I've said elsewhere, I don't have an issue with protesting, but I do take issue with any protestor doing anything to anyone else whether it's looting, hurting others, or simply stopping people from getting to where they need to go. More people would listen if protestors didn't act like petulant children.

Why do their jobs if someone is going to sue them for millions, make a civil rights case about it, and become rich?
