New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife asked citizens on Saturday to “physically intervene” if they see a violent crime occurring, less than a year after pushing de Blasio to “defund the police,” and remarking that a world without police would be “utopia.”
“As attacks on Asian American communities continue, we’re asking New Yorkers to show up for their neighbors and intervene when witnessing hateful violence or harassment. I know that can be frightening when you aren’t sure what to do or say, but you can learn,” New York City’s First Lady Chirlane McCray tweeted Saturday.
She continued, “Fear is a normal feeling when stepping into a confrontation, but being prepared can help. I’ll share [Hollaback]’s 5 D’s, which are easy to remember tactics that we can all use to de-escalate a situation. D is for Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct.”
McCray expanded on the “5 D’s”, recommending people interrupt a “hate crime or incident” by engaging with the victim using a question like, “What time is it?”
She also suggested responding “directly to the aggressor or physically intervene” after assessing the situation.
“Be confident, assertive, calm. This is risky, but sometimes all we can do is speak up,” she tweeted. “If the harasser responds, try your best to focus on assisting the person targeted.”

“Let’s see, take away people’s guns, check. Fan racial hatred, check. Empty the jails, check. Prohibit prosecution, check. Defund the police, check. Watch crime skyrocket, check. Tell people to fix the problem themselves, check. Next up: put anyone who tries to fix it themselves in jail. Utopia!”
If she feels that strongly, she, her husband, and her whacky daughter should be out patrolling the streets of New York all hours of the day and night. You don’t ask people to do what you are not willing to do yourself.
Notice all those starving people running right past all the produce....
Isn’t that what you have cops for?
It has been postulated that when there is no entity like the police for the citizens to rely upon, potentially every crime may carry the death sentence ... for the perp. It will usually be carried out at the scene by the potential victim.
Chirlane, you first and show us how to do it!
2022 can't get here soon enough!
She sounds just as stupid as her husband. Is she condoning using deadly force if necessary?
Will she pay your legal and court costs when you get sued ?
If I posted how I really feel about this stupidity, Jim Rob would have to revoke my posting privileges for a long time!
Disarm citizens, shrink the PD, and then ask folks to physically intervene against armed thugs. What could go wrong?
Stupid people in America always vote for the most incompetent democrat.
Note history
So, in lieu of assigning to the state the role of policing, according to written laws and formal standards of conduct, with (one hopes) an impartial judicial system to settle disputes and to mete out justice, this old lesbian is endorsing good old fashioned vigilantism.
Round up the posse!
Bet on a comeback for vendettas in 2022.
Every LE official I’ve ever heard speak to this subject says civilians should not intervene for their own safety. What a maroon.
No guns no training no qualified immunity no way.😵
😂
This one cracks me up!
She (allegedly straight-faced) proposes that the average random NYC bloke, which statistically will be white, and who does not have qualified immunity, intervene personally in criminal incidents where (again statistically) the perpetrators will be black.
This should prove entertaining!
But we can't use guns..or knives.,sling shots, or rocks, BB guns, forks, dirt clods, string, key's, pencil's, snow balls, Sleigh bells, mallets,...etc...
Add to the list....
Don’t see anyone there picking fruit and vegetables.....
Wonder how she would respond if a group of poor whites from Appalachia were to break into her place?
