It’s not a slowdown — it’s a virtual work stoppage.
NYPD traffic tickets and summonses for minor offenses have dropped off by a staggering 94 percent following the execution of two cops — as officers feel betrayed by the mayor and fear for their safety, The Post has learned.
The dramatic drop comes as Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Mayor de Blasio plan to hold an emergency summit on Tuesday with the heads of the five police unions to try to close the widening rift between cops and the administration.
The unprecedented meeting is being held at the new Police Academy in Queens at 2 p.m., sources said.
Angry union leaders have ordered drastic measures for their members since the Dec. 20 assassination of two NYPD cops in a patrol car, including that two units respond to every call.

Resignation is, IMHO, too good for De Blasio. It allows him to position himself as a martyr and portray the cops as extortionists.
He really needs to be humiliated, but left in office in a weakened state. Make him issue an effusive and unconditional, uncaveated public apology. Make him condemn Sharpton, and rescind Sharpton’s all-access pass to the Mayors Office. Make him condemn the anti-cop protesters in the most stringent of terms. Etc.
Sounds like a work slow down, or in union terms a “job action”. Can’t blame them.
Probably never...
Yes, America’s finest did it here too to protest the new computerized ticket writers.............cops can back off on enforcement whenever they want.
Congrats on seeing the true reason for the panic.
OUTSTANDING posts!
HOORAY NYPD boots on the ground.
Pushback against tinkering bureaucrats/totalitarians/socialists and meddling marxists.
They voted for him because he was half a trendy couple and it showed how cool they were
Cops Gone -- Let's Loot!
Let the native New Yorkers kill each other.
The herd needs thinning anyway. 
Ah, so now our police are intimidated by the thuggies...
great.
Guess we are on our own.
Bratton has his nose up Herr Wilhelm’s ass and is afraid of losing his job by daring to speak out against the Socialist.
Tattaglia’s a pimp, he could have never outfought Santino.
LOL. It’s the way they roll...
Tatalia was a pimp. He never could have out fought Santino.
It would be very nice if they refused to be used to implement tax law.
Wow, gutsy. They are hitting Del Blasio WHERE IT COUNTS, in the wallet. He will feel pain.
You are correct, I forgot that one. Perhaps the lawyers and bail bondsmen can cry the blues as a duet.
Wilhelm could help stem this angry tide by speaking an apology to the NYPD rather than the ‘posturing act’ he’s been performing.
SUPREME COURT RULING: Police Have No Duty To Protect The General Public
January 28 2013 by Dan Cannon Share This Post
People who don’t understand taking responsibility for your own safety often ask me why I wouldn’t just call the police to stop a crime instead of drawing a gun. Well for one, a great police response time would be 1-2 minutes, but most crimes take place in a matter of seconds. Two, police have no duty to protect me, or you.
Based on the headline of this article you might think this is an important new ruling, but it’s not. The court has kept this stance for over 30 years.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that police officers at all levels of the government have no duty to protect the citizens of this country.
It is the job of police officers to investigate crimes and arrest criminals.
We are on our own for protection.
While we are quite sure most police officers will help someone in need when required, just remember the next time you feel you might need protection that police officers have no duty to provide that to you.
