Should cops in NY walk off the job for 24 hrs and let the city deal? (employment, Congress)

And why would they walk off the job in the first place? Didn't they become cops to protect people? And they're just gonna leave everybody high and dry?

Stupid thread.

Maybe but how would you feel if someone in your family was murdered?

Sometimes making a statement (to the Mayor) is important and they can still get their job done.

We know the Garner family was not happy much like nearly every single family feels.

Which is what the protesters are trying to do. Why does these things only apply to one side of an equation?

If they walked off the job, the people might figure out they aren't really needed to begin with.

Garner was "murdered"? You have proof the cops planned ahead of time to end his life and then sought him out to do it?

You should share this proof, it would have made a big difference awhile back.

Every time Deblazio shows up, the cops should turn their backs to him. They won't stop doing their jobs, ain't happening. But Deblazo hates them and they should take every opportunity to let him know what they think of him.

The protests are going to continue and get bigger as long as those like you continue to dismiss the problems.

Why would they do that? Most cops deal with tons of unsavory criminals and manage to not kill them. Why would they defend an officer who couldn't bring down a very unfit man while three other officers were with him?

Nothing would happen to them.

"Even you?" You know me from somewhere? Because i've never heard of you in my life.

Reagan fired Air Traffic Controllers en masse...planes kept flying.

If cops wanna walk off the job in NYC with the pay and benefits they get, then they should be fired.

End of story.
