Bloomberg’s NYPD spied on Muslims
Washington Post ^ | February 20, 2020 | Asad Dandia

I recall this issue being pervasive.

A Turkish restaurant owner located in Suffolk County, NY (Eastern Long Island) I know told me (at that time) that he was visited by NYPD officers who surveilled his establishment and made his customers uncomfortable with their presence.

This happened on more than one occasion.

By the way, my Turkish colleague is Christian (which the NYPD would not know).

OK so he has one good thing going for him. I’m still not going to support the guy.

Although humorous, methinks you miss the point.

Bloomberg is a racist. He's also a hypocrite.

“Bloomberg is a racist.”

He may well be, but given their known threat profile, I don’t consider surveilling Muslims to be an indicator of racism.

So, why is the WaPo going after him?

He’s still a Democrat who hates the president, isn’t he?

I’m all for surveillance of Muslims. Should be done still. Especially the Salafi ones. And NO money should come in from the Middle East to build mosques - well, at least until we can build cathedrals there.

Some folks need to be spied on, around the clock.

"Bloomberg’s NYPD spied on Muslims"

Hard to find anything nice/good to say about this creep...
This may be the first I've read... However, was it NYPD driven and he did not really know about it or support it...

Maybe he's like the hacker out on the golf course who, after 20-years of hacking, miraculously gets a hole-in-one...

Islam is NOT a race. It is barely even a religion. It is first and foremost a violent totalitarian political system that has NO place in Western society — especially not in the U.S.A.

Yet Bloomie defended the construction of the Ground Zero mosque, which was called the Corboba Project. And it ain't because Richardo Montelban sold the imams on the rrrich Corrrinthian leather.

We should be more uncomfortable with muzzies than with NY cops

I'd vote for you.

That’s two. Don’t forget stop and frisk.

In that debate he looked like a country club republican crashing a Bolshevik revival.

Have you uncovered some information that would demonstrate that?
