The tragic result of New York City turning anti-cop
NY Post ^ | 29 Sept 2019 | Bob McManus

It hasn’t been a good year to be a cop in New York City, but at 12:30 Sunday morning at the gang-plagued Edenwald Houses in the Bronx, bad became infinitely worse.

... Then onlookers loudly did their best to escalate the incident — wishing the cops on the scene dead, among other ugly things.

How many cops on the beat fear ending up as a scapegoat — as did Daniel Pantaleo, fired in the Garner case — and hesitate for a fatal split-second in responding to a lethal challenge?

It doesn’t help that many cops believe, quite reasonably, they’ve been abandoned by the de Blasio administration — and by New York’s political culture itself.

The NYPD is a rare and precious public resource and never is that more obvious than when an officer dies in service to the city.

Yes, dump on the coppers, until they do nothing.

Cops should just go on strike for 3 days in Manhattan.

Cops get paid regardless. If I’m a NY cop, next time there’s a reported shooting, stabbing or heroin dealer run amuck at “Edenwald House in The Bronx” do you think I’m going to hurry to get to the scene?

Can’t bring up the article

Just heard at the 4:30 news break that the officer was killed by friendly fire. Deceased officer fired 5 shots, other officer(s?) fired 10.

If I was a billionaire, I would set up a fund to pay every single cop salary so they can walk off the job for a month including legal to keep them from being fired. Prolly have a goon squad to discourage scabs too

HECK NO!

If you actually take down a “teen” perpetrator, the mayor will lead the press in the prosecution.

There is a dhole contingent if cop-hating black lives matter leftists who post here regularly. They use this graphic as their logo.

Zero difference between them and black lives matter, revolutionary communists, antifa etc... In their cop hate slander.

Ferguson Effect. This goes right back to Hussein and Holder. Plus, with DeBlasio in charge, the crazies want to take NYC right back to what it was in the 70’s.

They won't go on strike for this, they would lose to much revenue. Now if Basio cracked down on something really important, like ticketfixing which lets cop get their friends and family off, well then yeah you will get a strike

That's exactly what happened in Baltimore since they (unsuccessfully) prosecuted 6 cops for the Freddie Gray death. Cops stopped taking chances and have been hesitant to answer situations in "high-crime" neighborhoods. The murder rate has soared. Also in "high-crime" neighborhoods.)

36K police X 6K per month average salary = 216 million for one month's salary alone.

That is over a fifth of your billion.

Still, with lots of friends on the force, you might be able to recoup it...
