Shaming/naming and all that fake twitter-power leftist crap only affects the weak minded. Especially once I'm retired and really won't need to watch what I say AT ALL. hehehehehhe
I dream at night of emboldened leftists coming to my house. Go ahead and Dox me (or whatever they call it now). They'll meet Mr. .308 at 2900+ FPS from the sniper hide I set up in my bedroom window.
It will be GLORIOUS.
...What happened to the promises from those who said they were coming to the suburbs and rural areas to " deal" with us next? What a letdown...and here I had a "welcome surprise" for them...coffee and danish..that is..
Coming to the suburbs was a one day story by the media to further fan racial flames. Nobody in the burbs posts black squares on social media and many are packing heat.
We ask the police to do too many things IMHO. If for anything, BLM and the Police themselves are actually in agreement on many things:
-End the war on drugs
-End the war on prostitution, legalize it because it'll never go away
-Send psychologists to the scene of EDPs unless armed
-Let civil/community courts deal with misdemeanor crimes like petty larceny, vandalism etc. Make community service or fines the way to go.
-End BS tickets like open container or jaywalking
Police should only deal with violent crime, the rapists, muggers and shooters so to speak.
I agree with a lot of your points. however there are some areas in the middle that would require police. domestic violence isnt solved by a visit with a social worker. There oftentimes does need to be a cooling off period. Mental health calls should be with a psychologists but a lot of mental health calls come in because someone is being violent or threatening. It seems like a good idea to have those lower level junk crimes handles in the communities except for the person who was burgled or vandalized may not get any justice or recompense for the crime without the police there to find and apprehend the suspects. But low level crimes dont require prison sentences for sure.
Do people even get jaywalking tickets? People do get hit by cars jaywalking though...just a thought.
Can we please send out a memo to every single person in NY that when they bump against each other they dont have to wait for 2 hours for the police blocking 2 lanes on the BQE? That would be great
deBlasio and our hapless City Council are radical progressives. The whole idea of 'defunding' the police is to drive out the middle class, of all races, from New York City.

Sharp post. This rhetoric was surely going to fill body bags in the long term but to Warren"slathered in SPF70" Whilhiem suprise - it is returning significant short term dividends as well. Red Sox fan Warren Whilhiem's city suffered 24 shootings last night - none involved the police.
So when Warren "favorite pizza is pizza hut" Whilhiem proposes "Defund the police" the violence created directly effects blacks more than any other ethnicity - surely ending lives in the same way whiteboy from the suburbs Warren Whilhiem will end the life of a whiteboy New England boiled dinner.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — With calls for police reforms has come reaction from police unions. They say changes are coming too quickly and will have a damaging impact on their jobs.
Police Benevolent Association President Pat Lynch rallied with officers on Randalls Island on Tuesday. They blamed lawmakers for fueling anti-police sentiment in the wake of George Floyd’s death, CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez reported.
“Never, no matter how bad it gets, apologize for having a shield in your pocket,” Lynch said.
Union leaders denounced what happened in Minneapolis, but Lynch said the swift passing of police reform in New York re-enforces negativity.
“For our legislators, and I emphasize our legislators, to then demonize police officers as if we’re the problem, as if we broke the window, as if we caused violence. That is absolutely outrageous,” Lynch said.
“Everybody’s trying to shame us into being embarrassed about our profession,” added Mike O’Meara, president of the New York State Association of PBAs. “Stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect.”
The NYPD recorded 909 burglaries in the first full week of June, compared to just 181 reports over the same time last year, crime stats released Monday show.
