Would it be racist to report that?
Ithaca, NY just re-imagined its PD.
God help the law abiding.
And liberals are too obtuse to get the connection. Sort of like FR’s liberTardians and dope.
Pretty sure this is all really caused by climate change. /s
Isn’t Oakland where Eric Swalwell, democrat congressman who was having an affair with a Chinese spy, and yet keeps his committeeship in the intelligence community, lives?
Unexpected.
By now, almost anyone could have made an almost one-to-one correlation between the degree to which police departments have been artificially handicapped, through defunding and micromanagement, and the soaring crime rates.
But if you have been conditioned all your life that the policemen are boogie men and inherently unfair, then this is just “getting even” with the system.
But there is no such thing as “getting even”. The imaginary “balance” is thrown violently from one end of the seesaw to the other.
It’s not really crime. It is just freedom.
Many are expressing directly their new freedom to distribute the wealth of others to them selves without the government middle man.
Must there be objection to freedom? /s
This what they want. Chocolate cities again. They like this. They want lower rents, less police, de gentrification and chaos. Thugs thrive in that kind of urban environment. Thugs win.
Man, woman and child all slashed in possible Manhattan hate crime
Check out the backround on the perp. And what's missing. Like a pic.
What could there plan possibly be in states like these. When crime rises the people are going to blame the government and administration. Like the border crisis. Why are they allowing this. So military can step in.
WHO in their right mind would even WANT to be a police officer these days?
The answer? Nobody!

Something in water must cause severe brain function failure, resulting in permanent retardation if no cure administered in 2022.
“Lord of the Flies” comes to mind.
Los Angeles, Oakland, New York City, Portland and Austin. Ultra-liberal cities.
Who’d want to be a policeman in any one of those cities?
Every move you make, even legitimate ones that protect your own life - could be career ending.
No wonder, as Colin Flaherty has pointed out, small towns in rural California, Oregon and Washington are full of former Philly, Washington DC and Chicago cops.
Ray Charles DNA mixed with Nostradamus.
Every cop in those cities should walk off the job and let them burn.
There’s been a shooting incident at The Capitol. Some guy tried to ram a ram a car into the building on Constitution Ave.
Shots have been fired. One Capitol police officer is dead.
