NYC First Lady asks citizens to ‘physically intervene’ in violent crime after city defunded police

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.”

New York Democrat congresswoman AOC on the looting and rioting last year...

“Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out, and they need to feed their child and they don’t have money,” Ocasio-Cortez continued, “so they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”

I was in a supermarket in San Francisco yesterday, and I witnessed an older black male being verbally abusive to a middle-aged Asian woman working the fish/poultry counter. He was hurling all manner of insults and epithets at her. If he were white, one of the nice liberals would have pulled out their phone and posted video of this despicable racist all over the internet. Instead, everyone scurried away, as being black is apparently a license for this sort of misbehavior.

The same people who wanted to defund the police also happen to be the same ones who want to deny you the right to defend yourself.

Now, they are the ones exhorting you to defend yourself and your fellow citizens from violent crime.

Defend with what? To quote Zell Miller...”With Spitballs?”

Of course, they are the ones living in gated communities with their own protection.

Damn all of these people to Hell. All of them.

That's a lawsuit.

Don't police etc. always tell people NOT to intervene in violent crime?

The legacy media every day tells me that white supremacists are the biggest threat to the safety of all Americans.

But the videos of the attacks suggest otherwise. The media is really, really struggling with this one.

“Get involved” is high up on the New Yorker’s list of things not to do.

She might want to consider retaining a Mr. Paul Kersey as a consultant in this problem.

Right, send the sheep in to confront the wolves. That’ll work out well.
