LOL, did you want me to ground them?

They're the ones who ordered the cops to follow a broken windows policy, and still do. The protesters block innocent travelers, attack and vilify the cops, chant nasty, threatening words. Where's similar hostility toward the ones who put the policies in place. Where are the community leaders holding vigils outside the mayor's home or blocking Bratton from getting to work, or protesters chanting they want De B dead.
Seems to me it's working pretty good. Obviously the protests have gotten your attention and the police protests have made the mayor pay attention.

I was paying attention before the protests. The protests only prove how annoying and ineffective they are. The mayor and Bratton still support the broken windows policy and so far I haven't noticed any 'reforms.'

By your complaints I think they are working. It takes time.

Stop-and-frisk trial: Cop's secret tape reveals boss ordered him to target blacks males ages 14 to 21

Cop ordered in secret recording to stop-and-frisk young blacks males - NY Daily News

http://rt.com/usa/nypd-whistleblower...tribution-589/

Cops who testified against the New York City Police Department’s stop-and-frisk policy have faced retribution from higher-ups and officers who subscribe to the idea that the controversial tactic, deemed unconstitutional by major courts, is fair and legal.

Freedom has been restored to the people, because a Mayor misspoke?
The bad part is, they have disarmed to populace, so they cannot protect & police themselves from a real threat.

Police do not protect anyone, they come along after the fact.
