The author starts his equation by dividing by zero.
There is no strike.
I'm so old, I remember when National Review had standards for their authors.

I don’t see where this a strike. The police are still handling serious calls, but are ignoring the petty crap. Perhaps the author believes that the National Guard should be called up to handle the petty crap.

They should still leave and go somewhere so NYC suffers the consequence of their liberal voting Maybe if they went to NJ or MA. God forbid they come to GA or FL

She is using a false analogy or a straw man. Then again maybe she never actually studied the Boston Police Strike.

De Blasio is not right. The police are sworn to protect and uphold the law, not Wilhelm personally. He is rejecting the law, and has constantly been on the side of the lawbreakers.
Coolidge was not.
