New York City police told to quit proactive policing, be wary of lawsuits

New York City Police are being told by their union to quit responding to calls for crimes that aren’t occurring right in front of them, as new laws passed by the City Council open the doors for more discrimination suits.

The New York Police Department Patrolman's Benevolent Association sent a letter to members this week, advising them not to react to “events not occurring in the officer’s presence … [that could] subject the officer to legal action,” the Daily Mail reported.

One of the new laws established an independent inspector general to oversee the police and ensure compliant with laws against discrimination. The second law that just passed creates a smoother, more streamlined process for individuals to sue the department for racial profiling — and it’s this law that’s causing police the most confusion.

This happened in NJ a few years back; the State Troopers were stopping a lot of gun and drug running with their profiling (which was not race-based, and had previously prevented a Japanese Red Army terrorist from bringing a bomb into the Lincoln Tunnel in his trunk). After taking crap because of the number of blacks stopped, they simply stopped law enforcement on the NJ Turnpike (part of Rte. 95, which runs from Florida thru NYC to Maine - a major drug/gun route). Mayors of NJ’s welfare reservations immediately reported a spike in drug/gun violence, and it has never abated.

At least they’re not inconveniencing any minorities...

“If it wasn’t all blacks being shot by blacks before, it will be now.”

With all of the affirmative action hiring going on, it was going to come to that. It worked for the British empire, it may work here: have one tribe police another, and let them fight it out.

The city councilman who introduced the bills, Jumaane Williams, said his measures have been subject to “a lot of bald-faced lies,” and that police enforcement could go forth, unfettered.
Betcha $10 Jumaane is a Democrap -- therefore we know where the lie is really coming from...
