A large number of demonstrators showed up in Brooklyn last night to march
and hold demonstrations. In recent times, many of the protests we see are
demanding action on climate change, equal pay for women or gay/trans
rights. This was something different, however. The angry people taking to
the streets with banners and signs were there to protest the NYPD. And
their message wasn’t very subtle. (NY Post)
Close to a thousand anti-police protesters descended on Downtown Brooklyn
Friday night, blocking traffic, vandalizing a city bus and shouting
obscene insults at NYPD cops.
The demonstration formed soon after 7 p.m. on the streets near the
Barclays Center, with protesters unfurling large banners that read “F—k
the police” and “Don’t let these pigs touch us.” The crowd began
dispersing by 9 p.m.
The demonstration was in response to a planned crackdown on fare evasion
by the NYPD — and two controversial police actions in Brooklyn subway
stations in recent weeks.
One of the banners carried by roughly half a dozen people read, “Ante up!
Punch that cop! NYPD out of MTA!” The outside of the banner was littered
with the words “Hit em!”
A bus was vandalized along with a number of buildings. The unoriginal
graffiti proclaimed “F*** The Police!” and “NYPD KKK.” Separate banners
were plastered around the street, instructing people to, “Make transit
FREE! Take what you NEED! F*** THE POLICE.”
Charming. These people are actively calling for violence against police
officers and violations of the law.
There were apparently two themes driving the anti-police protests. One was
an announcement that the police would be stationing officers in the metro
stations to discourage people from jumping the turnstiles to avoid paying
fares. Imagine that. The police being asked to deter people from breaking
the law.
The other issue was a recent pair of incidents involving NYPD offers, both
of which no doubt merit investigation. In one case, a police officer was
seen briefly pointing his firearm at the window of a subway car.
In the other, officers held down and punched a fifteen-year-old boy in the
face while breaking up a fight at a metro terminal. Video of the incident
went public, but as usual, we only saw the end of the event. Police claim
that body camera footage will demonstrate that a fight had broken out
between two groups of young people and they were taking steps to break it
up. The boy’s family has since announced they are suing the NYPD for
millions of dollars. An investigation continues.
The point is that investigations into the actions of both officers are
underway. If a couple of bad cops have been identified, they will be dealt
with. But these incidents aren’t representative of the police force in
general. And what the protesters are really calling for is an end to
enforcement of long-standing laws and physical assaults on the police. Is
that now an accepted liberal cause?
The lack of respect for the police in New York City has grown out of
control lately. The lack of support for their own cops from City Hall has
compounded the problem. The police are supposed to keep the streets safe,
but now those same streets aren’t particularly safe for the cops anymore.
And when large enough groups of people being rejecting authority and
assaulting police officers, that’s the point where the fabric of society
starts breaking down.
It’s safe to assume that New York City’s voters will keep sending the same
people back to office time after time, so I’m not sure what can be done at
this point. Perhaps the sane people should simply flee while they can and
then we put a big wall up around all of Gotham and call in Snake Plissken.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
