The head of the NYPD’s largest union issued a stark warning to subway riders Friday amid the recent rash of shoving incidents by unhinged assailants: You’re on your own, reports the New York Post.
Since October 19, so we’re talking about just a little over a month, on four occasions now, unsuspecting subway riders have been ambushed from behind, pushed on to the subway tracks while waiting for a train.
According to Police Benevolent Association president Pat Lynch, the “politicians have made it abundantly clear that they don’t want cops enforcing transit system rules, connecting the homeless with services, engaging with seriously mentally ill people or doing any of the things necessary to prevent these terrifying random attacks.”
“While our elected leaders are closing their eyes and wishing the problem away, we recommend that all New Yorkers keep both eyes wide open while in our transit system,” he added.
What saved New York 25 years ago was then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s broken windows police, a policy where law enforcement created a law-abiding atmosphere by enforcing the law — even small laws like loitering. The idea being that if you see a building with broken windows, you are going to think it’s okay to throw a few rocks yourself. If there are no broken windows, you don’t even consider picking up a rock.
So imagine what the subway system must be like when there are no consequences for leaping over the turnstile without paying your fare.
That’s a broken window that tells others there is no authority, that you can do whatever you like, and now four people have been shoved on to the subway tracks because Democrats want this chaos, want this violence

wear your mask as your shoved off the platform...if not, they’ll be there to arrest you when you climb back up
And if I run into a problem, and if I handle it on my own -- they will come down on me like a ton of bricks.

When you really think about it what does NYC consist of? It is Money movers and entertainers that is what that city is made of. The rest of the businesses there support the money movers and the entertainers. They no longer produce anything. There are no factories or refineries. You have the ports and thats it. Now we are in shutdown people are banking from home, working from home, and getting their entertainment at home. NYC like most big cities relies on disposable tangible income to thrive.
That is all gone right now. Sure they are still eating outside and it’s still filled to the gills with people who have to eat, but they are also leaving in droves. That city is gonna change big time over the next ten years. Whether it for the good or not is still to be seen, but if what is going on now is any indicator it won’t be good. That city had some very good hard line mayors in the past that really cleaned it up.
Now it seems like this mayor is destroying everything the mayors of the past tried so hard to fix. Hey guess people will overlook a lot if you paint BLM on a street. This guy hates NYC and is the Mayor you can’t make this stuff up. The sooner they get rid of this guy the better chance that city has of not going straight down the tubes.

Fire every one of them and tell them to go get a job as a bus boy if they don’t feel up to enforcing the law.
Yeah, they will, you are on your own until they arrest you .
You may be on your own, but if you react aggressively and hurt an assailant, you’ll be on your own in jail.
Becoming obvious that LE is not our friend. They seem to be only tasked with “Continuity of Governance”.
Wow! You really captured the depths of the absurdity surrounding us.
Nicely done.
Huh, whaddaya know?
I’ve ridden subways across Europe (Barcelona, London, Rome, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, etc). Four years ago, I made my first trip into NY City, and rode the subway for a week. I have to say it’s about the most marginal subway cars that anyone can imagine, and the safety factor...is barely 2-star.

Folks here often bash unions, and for good reasons. But a union is often the only insider group that’s willing to tell the truth. This article is a good example of that.
Seriously, you think the people in charge of New York care? What are people going to about it?
