Professor who tweeted about ‘dead cops’ suspended

The president of John Jay College said she was “shocked” to hear the “abhorrent” anti-cop statement spewed by a professor at her school and immediately suspended him. “I am appalled that anyone associated with John Jay, with our proud history of supporting law enforcement authorities, would suggest that violence against police is ever acceptable,” John Jay president Karol Mason said about professor Michael Isaacson. Police union wants professor fired over 'dead cop' tweets Police union wants professor fired over 'dead cop' tweets Mason said that threats were made to the members of the college in the wake of his comment — which caused her to take immediate action. “Out of concern for the safety of our students, faculty and staff, we are immediately placing the adjunct on administrative leave as we continue to review this matter.” Isaacson, who works in the economics department at the college, tweeted the anti-cop screed from the account @VulgarEconomics. “Some of ya’ll might think it sucks being an anti-fascist teaching at John Jay College but I think it’s a privilege to teach future dead cops,” Isaacson tweeted on Aug. 23. Police unions leaders have called for Isaacson to be fired. Even Mayor de Blasio condemned the professor Friday night. “New York City won’t stand for the vile anti-police rhetoric of Michael Isaacson,” de Blasio tweeted. “And neither should John Jay College.”

So even dumbass deBLAHsio took exception to the prof's tweet. Could it be only because retired NYPD Detective Bo Deitl hinted on Hannity's show he may run against him?

For some reason this blast from the past comes to mind

I suppose a lameass meaningless apology is forthcoming, "I was taken out of context", or my personal favorite, "THIS ISN'T WHO I AM!" Really, this bullshiite has gotten old faster than "he was just turning his life around".

Wow, when even a big Friend of Obama (the John Jay President) and also Mayor DeBlowsio are coming out against you, the guy’s days should be numbered.

Anyway, he is not any real “professor” — he is a graduate student (PhD candidate) at the left-wing “New School for Social Research” who was invited to teach some courses for John Jay, probably very cheap. It should be easy to get rid of the POS, no tenure and no track record at John Jay. I think he only just started there this term, judging from his C.V. which does not even list teaching at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

I was listening to Andrew Wilkow today and he pointed out that many of these Professors don’t grow up mentally. They are around young adults 18-25 day in and day out and they simply become just like them.

Wow what a career enhancing move-getting fired from a job you just started or have not started yet.

He puts on this antifa thing over his head and thinks he's a bad ass. But in real life, he's a mangina.

Here is a statement he added on Twitter, before he found out he is being put on administrative leave:

According to his C.V. he is supposed to teach economics.

Like so many Leftards, he seems to have no respect for his academic discipine OR for his university OR for the society which makes everything possible for him.

His latest statement, just posted on Twitter in the past hour, acknowledges that he has been put on administrative leave. Also, apparently there have been threats:

The one-eyed pencil-necked geek can hit the streets tomorrow and look for a new job.

John Jay has been spinning in his grave since Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009

This statement (above) comes from a parallel Twitter account he set up. He said he is blocking people on his original Twitter account to keep them from seeing his followers, but that people can dialogue with him here, if anyone wants to:

He admits that he put the faculty and staff at risk. By the logic of his own rhetoric the faculty and staff should feel free to beat him on sight.

This is the same ahole who was on Tucker Carlson's show saying violence was okay against people who were "responsible" for violence against "the people".

The "So much for free speech I guess." line is pretty funny too as he also made the argument that those who were "responsible" for violence against "the people" had no right to free speech either.

Yup, he had not even gotten around to adding John Jay to his C.V., so I think he only started teaching there this term. Now he is suspended. What a MORON.

Michael Isaacson C.V.

He’s been advocating lawless violence, so it is pitiful for him to bleat about threats and “so much for free speech” — HE crossed the line big time, and now is whining about blowback.
