Bloomberg's Private Militia. Former Mayor (and Czar) of New York City is starting his own private militia.

Former Czar Bloomberg lives in fear in the crime ridden NYC jungle since he lost his police protection entourage when he left office. To rectify that he has decided to spend some of his own money to create a private militia.

He has decided to encourage the 16 NYC police that previously guarded him to retire (and take their $80,000 or more yearly pensions) and come to work for him in his private militia at $150,000 or more per year. Although retired, the militia will unofficially have many of their police powers and protections along with access to automatic, semi-automatic and other SWAT type weapons.

Former Czar Bloomberg stated that his militia will save NYC millions over his lifetime.

In an unrelated item, former Police Chief Ray Kelly has requested that 6 police detectives be assigned full time to protect him during his retirement. Ray stated that he feared living in the city without the 24 hour protection. Ray added that the cost was a bargain at $120,000 per detective considering the bad publicity for the city if he was raped or publically called bad names.

The current Police Chief stated that he felt that the request was justified and the officers would be assigned to the 2,400 police regiment detailed to protect current and former elite civil servants.

NYC isn’t that crime ridden. Isn't...Bloomberg is being forward looking here. With the full-blown leftist deBlasio in charge, it won't be long before crime in the Big Apple returns to Dinkins- or even Lindsey-era levels.
