After Rift Over Protests, N.Y.P.D. Pulls Out of Prosecutors’ Offices
NYT ^ | 06 15 2020 | Jan Ransom

A few hours after the Manhattan district attorney announced he would not prosecute some of the protesters who had been arrested during demonstrations against police brutality, the Police Department sent him a message: All the officers assigned to his office would be pulled off the job to help with crowd control.

The district attorneys in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens made similar decisions and received the same news.

Police Commissioner Dermot F. Shea said on Friday that the timing was unrelated to the prosecutors’ decisions. Resources were pulled from the entire department to cover the protests, he said.

But to some in the prosecutors’ offices, the episode was emblematic of a growing divide between the police and most of the city’s district attorneys over how to address public outrage about racial disparities that pervade the criminal justice system.

As thousands have taken to the streets in New York City to protest the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and more broadly, systemic racism in America, the city’s prosecutors have taken an increasingly liberal stance on issues of policing.

That’s ridiculously stupid on the NYPD’s part. Look, when riots not everybody gets charged. Largely because of logistics. You just can’t throw that many people on the legal system. Everybody knows this. Being petty and childish about it just shows once again the again the cops do understand the optics of this situation. Really, stop looking like thugs that consider the people the enemy.

So, does this mean Erin Regan eats in the kitchen, while her dad and brothers (all NYPD) eat in the dining room?

Every police protection detail to the various DA’S offices, the mayor, city council members etc should be pulled at once.
Further any and all 911 calls from these jokers for police should be ignored.

YES!
