Criminal (Police) Union?
Oh, please. Police corruption in NYC is something NEW? Stick to St. Louis politics!
I come from a long, sorry line of corrupt Irish cops going back to the late 19th century. I came of age during the Knapp Commission and the Serpico story.
Is it because of one party stranglehold on the city? Of course! But it ain’t nothin’ new. Check out “Gangs of New York” - the book or the movie.
They are so corrupt that they don’t even recognise it when it stares them in the face.
There have always been secret societies that gain great power by teamwork, infiltration, and secrecy.
The Masons are one such.
In our time, it is public-sector unions. The alliance between union power and government power is going to grow and grow. Eventually, it will end in bloodshed.
I’m betting that they’ll take out a reporter, sooner or later. And that reporter may not be one who is working for the MSM.
Law breaking is the central interest linking both sides of the apparent cops vs. robbers divide.
Sociopathic tendencies seem rampant in all the law-related professions - attorneys, politicians and law enforcement - while covering these tendencies with the deception, to self and others, that they are on the other side of the divide from the criminals.
Street thugs, political thugs, union thugs, “public servant” thugs - they’re all just different types of thugs.
Hehe... Those New YAWK cops are gonna be real unhappy when the SHTF day comes and they are going to be “sharing” power with the armed citizen’s militia.
And it won’t be by choice.
Google “Snake Plisskin” and “Escape from New York”.
That was a superb article.
Pretenders who think they are journalists should take courses from this writer.
This means you, NYT, Boston Globe, LAT, etc......
Very interesting post/thread. Thanks.
