Mayor de Blasio just announced his latest step backward on crime: “We’re taking the Obama Foundation pledge” . . . to put more handcuffs on cops.
With shootings in 2020 already exceeding recent totals for entire years, de Blasio released his plan to meet the Obama call for reducing police use of force — even though the NYPD set the national standard for minimal force even before he took office.
Among the gimmicks: a proposed new “matrix” for cop discipline, with added penalties for violations ranging from the use of chokeholds to failing to activate bodycams to leaking information to the media. Punishments range from loss of vacation days to suspensions or terminations.
Yet, as Police Commissioner Dermot Shea noted, the Blue Ribbon Panel acknowledged that “the NYPD has a strong discipline system” already
“It’s not perfect, but it’s strong, and we do a lot of things well,” Shea said.
And what besieged residents from the South Bronx to Southeast Queens to Bed-Stuy to the Upper West Side really need now is for cops to stop looking over their shoulders so they can do their jobs and quell the rising disorder on city streets.
On Sunday night, a hundred guys on illegal dirt bikes roared up and down Broadway in Manhattan for hours — with no cops in sight the entire time. (You could hear the bikers gathering beforehand in The Bronx, too.)
This weekly annoyance is just one more quality-of-life offense that’s going unpunished — signaling to every potential wrong-doer that the NYPD isn’t on the job.
Gang-bangers shooting kids at a cookout on a summer evening in a city park. Sexual assaults in the subway. Mentally ill homeless exposing themselves to kids in the street.

What is their plan here?
“OK lets hamper the police so violence escalates and that will win us the White House”
I can’t believe that is an actual plan- I think they are just stupid.
They all have been given the order to march and so they did. If you believe antifa (small bands directed and redirected to a city near you) are run by the deep state, CIA FBI and BLM is their blind army then we can see why every rat governor and mayor of these burned out cities and towns are all acting in lock step, ordered not to take trumps help and threatened from within
NEW YORK and New York State. Have you been satisfied of how this have been going for the past four months? Are you OK with Looting, Murder, Mayhem, and loss of income?
How about voting RED this coming election? What have you got to lose? It is obvious that the Dems couldn’t give a sh*t about you.
The New Yorkers have a chance to vote in a real mayor next year. The Commie is termed out. The question is whether the opposition has a viable candidate. Inquiring minds need to know.
No, like the liberal cowards and mental midgets they are, they're simply relocating. Migrating to conservative areas so they can destroy those as well.
I’m starting to wonder if de Blasio is going to finish his term. He seems crazy.
