Nothing to be concerned about, right?
After all, it’s only a “community patrol”.
We have the right to Rape you before we arrest you , man or woman
No need to worry... The ‘additional’ officers will all likely be DEI hires with no training and left-wing agendas... Either that or former HAMAS terrorist looking for a new job.
Gonna be just like all over Britain. Fatties and soyboys who care only about promoting racist policies and jailing political opponents.
But Da Mayor needs his Stoßtrupp! (Shock Troops).
Andrew Cuomo - who was forced to resign as governor for sex related misconduct.
And, Curtis Sliwa, a Republican, who created the NYC Guardian Angels, almost 50 years ago.
Most likely muzzoids and muzzoid supporters.
