“Great idea disarm the police.”
The Supreme Court ruled, back in the early 70s, that they have ZERO duty/obligation to protect you anyway. Their guns are to protect their OWN lives while enforcing whatever arbitrary Diktats of Der Staat happen to be in vogue at the moment.
This creates a problem for Bloomy whose justification for gun bans is that it allows him to keep crime low in NYC.
Recall it was mayor Rudy Giuliani who proactively cleaned up NYC which was a cesspool till he took over ~1994.
His methods drove the Sharpton’s nuts. Giuliani took over from Dinkins, Dinkins took over from Koch in 1989 and ran the already dirty City into the ground. Koch became Mayor in 1978.
Rich white lib Bloomy was controlling crime by doing these stop and go searches in high crime areas leading to this resentment by black libs. Bllomy's argument is they keep the criminals honest..
