Bloomberg’s NYPD spied on Muslims

Bloomberg’s surveillance of Muslims extended beyond New York into Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey and elsewhere. The program was so secretive and intrusive that Cory Booker, then the mayor of Newark, was not informed of it.

“I’d vote for you.”

Lol - thank you. As first in, you’ve got an excellent shot at being my Chief of Staff!

[UnBubba]

I love corinthian leather, even though it’s not a real thing!

[Magic Fingers]

“I would advise you not to run for President.”

Too late - I’m already getting support (see #18).

[UnBubba]

Yes, indeed. That's the point. Bloomberg's endless tv, radio, internet, and print Ads talk about how he is running to bring our country back together and start putting the United back in the United States of America, are a BIG JOKE!

Bloomberg is a buffoon.

[UnBubba]

Good luck. I hope you don’t have any skeletons in your closet because your opponents will find them.

[Magic Fingers]

Thank you, I’m sure I’ll do just fine. My many supporters don’t consider surveillance of Muslim a “skeleton”.

“The program was so secretive and intrusive that Cory Booker, then the mayor of Newark, was not informed of it.”

Of course they wouldn’t tell that skid-mark.

The problem was that this program was carried out beyond the jurisdiction of the NYPD. It came to an end when the governors of neighboring states threatened to have the NYPD officers arrested and prosecuted under the laws of those states.

And anyone here on FR who defends that jackass Bloomberg on this should remember this: He did the same thing to law-abiding gun dealers in Southern states, sending undercover NYPD officers down there to attempt to make illegal gun purchases.

F#%& this totalitarian bastard.

The Blind Sheik operated a mosque in Brooklyn and one in Jersey City, and they hatched the first WTC bombing in 1993. So Bloomberg was well within prudent measure to spy on them based on historical facts.

[UnBubba]

Well said.

More good news for Mayor Mike.

Oh My Lord! Cory Booker wasn't told! What is this world coming to when some low IQ, POS Rat isn't told about something? The Compost's reporters are so smug they have no idea that they come off like asinine fools.

[libertylover]

As mayor of the nations largest city and one of the victims of 9/11 it would’ve been dereliction of duty not to be on the lookout for new terrorists.

[Alberta's Child]

Which brings up the obvious question:

What the hell did the NYPD intend to do if they found anything that required a law enforcement response?

[dfwgator]

Bloomberg wants these stories to come out, so as to endear himself with more Centrist Never Trumpers.

You know he’s got Jeb, Mitt and Kasich’s vote.

[Da Coyote]

And the problem with that sort of spying is?

[UnBubba]

Just another example of "Profiling" and "Targeting" performed and supported by Democratic candidate for POTUS, Mini-Mike Bloomberg.

This hypocrite profiled and surveilled American citizens outside of his jurisdiction without any due process and without any reasons or validity.

[UnBubba]

Yes, I agree. The problem with that is Bloomberg is not acting a Democrat. He does not belong on the ticket.

This racist will drop out of the party soon and run as an Independent.

[Truthoverpower]

They need spying on

[dfwgator]

This racist will drop out of the party soon and run as an Independent.

With either Kasich, Jeb or Mitt as a running mate. The revenge of the Bushies.
