Flyers are circulating among New York City police officers calling for a strike on July 4 in order to give people a taste of what a world without police would be like.
This follows comments from Governor Andrew Cuomo on NPR on Monday where he said if people don’t want the police force, “they shouldn’t have it.”
It looks like at least some NYPD officers want to take the governor at his word.
A pair of flyers making their rounds among NYPD officers are encouraging them to call out sick July 4th as retribution for police reform and a perceived anti-cop climate following the outrage over high-profile police killings of unarmed black men across the country, multiple cops told The Post.
One message calls for the strike to kick off at 3 p.m. July 4.
NYPD cops will strike on July 4th to let the city have their independence without cops, [reads] the message, which is being passed among cops via text, according to sources.
So far, the move to strike doesn’t appear to be catching fire with most cops, but who knows? It’s more than two weeks until July 4. That’s an eternity for rioters. And given that every single police shooting of a black man across the country is now under the microscope, it won’t take much to set the mob off again.
This particular effort to organize a strike isn’t the only one.
Another message seen by police officers reads #Bluflu and instructs cops to call out sick on Independence Day.
Police officers like you and me took an oath to protect strangers regardless of race, class or gender, the message reads. Today we are vilified and must stand as one.

RE: New Yorks Taylor law makes strikes by public employees illegal and imposes very large fines for every day on strike.
Since we are in an age of lawlessness where those who loot are not even put to jail, suppose those Police who strike reaches a very large number and they REFUSE to abide by the Taylor Law, THEN WHAT?
WHO IS GOING TO ENFORCE THE LAW? Who will Mayor De Blasio call to enforce it?
Will the cops arrest themselves?
Who cares who arrests who--
DeNazio can F himself.
Using both hands if necessary.
Typical Rick Moran. He has an irritating habit of taking another article (this time from the NY Post) and adding his comments. I keep waiting for him to do some original reporting...
I call him Mr. Bookend.
My point exactly — if it’s lawlessness De Blasio wants, then the cops can test him to see how far he wants this to go.
You can ignore ANY LAWS ( Taylor Law or any other strike law included ), there will be no one to enforce them.
If 500,000 show up next Saturday, all carrying a baseball bat what is blm or antifa going to do?
When police in Toronto, Canada went on strike some years ago, there was bedlam until the army was called in to restore order.
RE: When police in Toronto, Canada went on strike some years ago, there was bedlam until the army was called in to restore order.
Will Andrew Cuomo allow the army to come to New York?
Heck, De Blasio won’t even allow the National Guards to come to the city to restore order.
RE: When police in Toronto, Canada went on strike some years ago, there was bedlam until the army was called in to restore order.
What was the reason for the strike anyway?
Do you really want to know?
Show up with AR-15s, AK-47s, improvised IEDs and Molotovs.
Don't bring a knife to a gunfight--and you are suggesting showing up with less than a knife.
Cuomo is confident that, as a courtesy, criminals will also strike on the 4th of July.
President Trump will win 40 states, including the second, third, and fourth largest in population, and will cause trainloads of money to be spent by the bluejean millionnaires to hold California.
The only ones in NYC will be the ones who can’t get to the Jersey Shore or out to LI.
A cop version of “Atlas Shrugged.”
Cops, please do it! Defy your America-hating marxist mayor.
The movie THE PURGE was clearly predictive programming.
Get ready for it to get much worse.
Get your family ready
Have a plan
Make a kit
Be ready to be mobile
I am increasingly believing that what is coming is going to be VERY ugly.
Until then, absolutely avoid some areas where you could be attacked.
I think in NYC Comrade Wilhelm would order the police to arrest any law abiding citizen with a gun.
Of course, if 500,000 showed up with guns...
I don’t recall. Likely, the Canuck coppers wanted more ducket$ and bennies. I think it was in the late 60s.
