NYC’s business elite in panic over cop slowdown

They’re freaked by the specter of a paralyzed police force, afraid to enforce the law because to do so risks the wrath of the mayor, violent protesters and deranged cop-haters. These folks are old enough to know this could plunge us back into the chaos of the late 1960s and early 1970s, when New York’s economy imploded and the city nearly went bankrupt.

I interpret that as "how to keep a population on the plantation in one easy lesson"...DeBlasio reminds me of Mayor David Dinkins and his carefree, freewheeling leadership policy that had crack being sold on every street corner and a 3 card Monte game in front of every store...And I wonder how many of these business owners are big gun control advocates? What's that line you always use from Zappa, Mike? Oh yeah, "Do you love it, do you hate it..."; January 13, 2015 at 7:26 AM

NOTICE please the REAL fear exists in the hearts of the politicians and the journalists- authorized journalists.
The "city" faces "Economic collapse" WHY??? Because the revenuers aren't out "policing" the people by putting their hands right into people's pockets in the form of tickets??? You mean.... The city BUDGETS based on CRIME? Oh really! Make or break budgets based to lay walking and parking tickets and speeding and improper lane usage? Ha ha ha. Fools.

NYPD cops has better never look back. Ok there may be room to police some of the worst traffic violations BUT they WILL lose all goodwill earned by this slow down if they return to "business as usual". We will soon see the TRUE HEART of the NYPD.
Do they want to be cops who capture REAL criminals OR do they want to return to being PETTY revenuers for crooked politicians? Choose wisely NYPD. For you won't get this opportunity again.; January 13, 2015 at 10:03 AM
Paul X said...: Nice to see the cockroaches scuttling about in New York City.

"Shocking many of the 300 in attendance, Bratton said that the mayor has his back in cracking down on quality-of-life crimes. Despite de Blasio’s anti-cop rhetoric and opposition to “stop and frisk,” he’s a proponent of the “broken windows” theory of law enforcement, Bratton claimed."

These are the terms of the debate promoted by this "news" organization: either you catch people for breaking windows and you allow "stop and frisk", or you don't do either. There is no possibility of getting rid of cop abuses without having crime go up.

To Hell with that! Tell me again why we need cops - or mayors?

New York City can rot as far as I'm concerned. Bankster Central... the whole place is run by crooks.; January 13, 2015 at 11:35 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
