“You can no longer hide behind your black wife and children” Jumaane Williams tells Mayor de Blasio

[Deo volente]

Has there ever been a worse mayor of any major American city than de Blasio? Can’t think of one offhand.

And these people keep electing him!

The rest should call in and say they need to self-isolate for 2 weeks as they may have been exposed to covid19

“Between 300 and 800? That’s a pretty wide margin of error.
My best bowling and SAT scores, not to brag or anythong.”

DAMN, an 800 series, not bad! Very rare.

I wonder how many of those retiring are Officers, Sergeants, Lieutenants, and above, and what precincts they are from. It could make a big difference because if they are supervisors, they might not have the number they need to oversee the shift officers. Do they even have any active Civil Service lists to promote from, and would those on the list want to even take a promotion, which would probably mean them moving to the precinct where that vacancy is? Even if they lost only 300, it would mean they would have to force overtime, and if they're trying to defund the police, that isn't going to save money. Or will de Blasio decide to simply not put officers in certain areas to make up for the loss?

The City Budget usually sets the number of line officers, and supervisors needed to safely run a shift. Depending on the size of the precinct and it's needs, the numbers can differ. When there are vacancies on a shift, people may have to double up on the area they patrol, or they have to hire overtime.

In New York State Corrections where I worked under Mario Cuomo, there were times when there was zero overtime allowed to save the State money. If an officer called in sick, they'd shut that job down for the day, or an officer with his own unit to watch, was made to watch two units for the shift. As a messhall Sergeant, there were plenty of times I was the only Sergeant in the prison covering the breakfast chow run with 1200 inmates to feed, and a handful of officers to keep peace in the messhall.

Agree. Following CDC guidelines 14 day quarantine and then exit the force.

Not rumor. Real.

Look up "Beau" James Walker, the Tammany mayor of New York elected in 1929 but who left early to escape to Paris when Judge Samuel Seabury, Cardinal Dennis Patrick Hayes and Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt read him the riot act and threatened him with prison.

The next mayor was Fiorello La Guardia, who cleaned up the city and castrated Tammany Hall once and for all.

LOL.

Surely this business cannot continue. I agree it goes on and on unabated. This in Canada as well. It could be a matter of the old waiting game. Using the phrase “Shelf Life”. Those persons are only human who keep this up. Let us hope it will burn out and cease. It cannot bring back the unfortunate man. Ordinary citizens do not need this. Life sometimes presents enough day to day problems. IMHO

[Bonemaker]

Just have the sappers pre-position the demolition charges for when you can’t take it anymore.

[Jim Noble]

I lived in the 77 in the 1970s. “No Radio” and Son of Sam.

God bless the NYPD.

[OKSooner]

Well this might be fun to watch, except we have friends here who could be personally affected.

I wouldn’t want to see anyone hurt by the property values...

[yetidog]

Yes! This something that needs to happen all over the country...except where I live. Cops should just quit and let the idiots suffer the consequneces.

[Deo volente]

On a related point, ION Television network took “Blue Bloods” off their schedule with no explanation. It made my Wednesdays under lockdown bearable. I hope it’s not because they hate cops or anything.
The gritty and intense “Chicago P.D.” is still on however. I wonder how long before BLM etc object to that program.

"But we are an island unto ourselves."

If that's Manhattan Island you're talking about, my 10th Great-Grandfather, Peter Minuit, bought it from the Indians. He was lost at sea during a storm off St. Kitt's in the Caribbean. If he had a grave, he'd be rolling in it.

[conservativepoet]

But if New York City government has turned on its officers then expect more. Lots more.

[yetidog]

I really think New Yorkers-—who have to be the most ignorant people in the world-—should stay and see how things work out.

[mware]

Perfect timing. Greg Gutfeld said on Friday he was in the process of getting a firearm.
