NYPD Boycotts de Blasio: New York City Arrests And Citations Plummet As Cops Stage "Virtual Work Stoppage"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

First, NYC's cops turned their back on Bill de Blasio, best known for first rushing to side with New York's "oppressed" minorities "threatened" by the local police, and then, when two weeks later 2 NYPD cops were executed in cold blood and in broad daylight in what some hinted was an unintended consequence of the mayor's bashing of the police, scrambling to undo his previous populism and to show his affection for New York's cops.

Now, those tasked to protect and to serve the Big Apple, appear to have decided to turn their back on their job entirely, and in what is shaping up to be a long vendetta with the mayor, have succumbed to what the NY Post calls "a virtual work stoppage."

This implicit strike by the NYPD is manifesting as follows: "traffic tickets and summonses for minor offenses have dropped off by a staggering 94 percent following the execution of two cops — as officers feel betrayed by the mayor and fear for their safety."

To some this is great news: the local police will no longer be breathing over everyone's back, and one can park in the red zone without fears of a summons. To others this bears an unpleasant resemblance to New York in the 1970s and early 80s when the police dared not show their face in various parts of the city due to rampant crime.

Fearful that it may be the latter, the mayor has decided to let all populist rhetoric drop and instead focus on mending fences:

The dramatic drop comes as Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio plan to hold an emergency summit on Tuesday with the heads of the five police unions to try to close the widening rift between cops and the administration.

 

The unprecedented meeting is being held at the new Police Academy in Queens at 2 p.m., sources said.

Meanwhile, unless something changes, New York may indeed become the perfect incubator for a new crime wave:

Angry union leaders have ordered drastic measures for their members since the Dec. 20 assassination of two NYPD cops in a patrol car, including that two units respond to every call.

 

It has helped contribute to a nose dive in low-level policing, with overall arrests down 66 percent for the week starting Dec. 22 compared with the same period in 2013, stats show.

 

Citations for traffic violations fell by 94 percent, from 10,069 to 587, during that time frame.

 

Summonses for low-level offenses like public drinking and urination also plunged 94 percent — from 4,831 to 300. Even parking violations are way down, dropping by 92 percent, from 14,699 to 1,241.

 

Drug arrests by cops assigned to the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau — which are part of the overall number — dropped by 84 percent, from 382 to 63.

Of course, one may ask if those numbers were abnormally high to begin with: a trigger-happy police going about arresting everyone in their path would surely lead to a high baseline to begin with. But as the Fed has learned the hard way, it is all about the flow, not the stock. And any changes and deviations in the NYPD's pattern will surely be promptly taken advantage of by New York's criminal underworld.

Naturally, New York's cops will be the last to admit they are engaging in what amounts to a city-wide boycott of the mayor's office: "Police sources said Monday that safety concerns were the main reason for the dropoff in police activity, but added that some cops were mounting an undeclared slowdown in protest of de Blasio’s response to the non-indictment in the police chokehold death of Eric Garner."

“The call last week from the PBA is what started it, but this has been simmering for a long time,” one source said.

 

“This is not a slowdown for slowdown’s sake. Cops are concerned, after the reaction from City Hall on the Garner case, about de Blasio not backing them.”

 

The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association has warned its members to put their safety first and not make arrests “unless absolutely necessary."

How does this play out? It is unclear, although de Blasio will almost certainly be made to walk with his populist tail between his legs before there is any resolution. More importantly, he - like many others to follow - will finally learn that every action, and statement, does have consequences, even in a world in which the Chairman, or Chairwoman, does get to work and mask every problem with even more printing. Even in a world in which the police state has gotten just "a tad powerful" in recent years.

As for whether a crime wave will in fact hit New York City, we have no idea. We do know, however, that if anyone needed yet another reason to avoid being in the middle of Times Square zoo on New Year's Eve, this is it.

Osmium is relatively cheap and malleable. I'm not encouraging anything, but I don't think a few slugs of osmium are going to be stopped by anything short of ceramic plates.

 

In .50 Beowulf, I think osmium would eat even ceramic plates from 100 yards with ease. Mind you I haven't done the math on this one, I just glanced at the atomic weight and the relative density of the element in comparison with brass and lead.

 

Material selection is everything when discussing penetration capacity, as penetration is 100% about energy potential.

Osmium is pretty spendy, around $400/ounce spot. Considerably more on the 'bay. Tungsten, however, is relatively cheap, heavier than lead and as hard as steel. One can purchase tungsten TIG electrodes with cash at a welding supply shop and then form them into any sort of penetrator that he likes.

Tungsten is hardly easy to work with - you're unlikely to be melting it at home (around 3400ºC) and it's harder than steel.

Might make a mess of any tubes it travels down at high speed too.

The cop killer moniker came out with the introduction of teflon coated bullets and FNH's 5.7x28 round and the Five Seven pistol.

The 5.7x28 was designed to replace the 9mm in semi auto pistol and SMG application (P90) due to its ability to penetrate body armor due to it's higher velocity and spitzer design compared to the 9mm parabellum.

The 5.7x28 rounds you can buy at the LGS (blue or no color tip) wont penetrate body armor.  

Only LEO and military get the red/red-black tipped L191 rounds.

Then de Blasio should be laying cops off then.  Obvious they were inflating the numbers with bullsh*t arrests and citations so if the cops won't arrest people to generate revenue, then as a good manager, what do you do?  You start to cut costs and removing inefficiencies... if they won't work for their pay they can say "bye bye" and join the unemployed.

PBA should watch out because it's not as if the public is going to side with the cops over this.

Maybe that will come up on the agenda tomorrow.  Something tells me however he has as much authority over the union rules governing the police force as the US senate had over Ben when they suggested the possibility of skipping an interest payment or two on the t-bills the fed purchased from the US treasury from currency they, (the Fed), produced out of thin air.

I still chuckle when I think about Mr. Bernanke telling the highest elected officials in the land "you better not".

Has anyone considered that maybe, just maybe 34,000 uniformed officers is too fucking many cops on the streets of NY? 51,000 employees...what?

The NYPD is the biggest police force in the country, with over 34,000 uniformed officers patrolling New York's streets, and 51,000 employees overall — more than the FBI. It has a proposed budget of $4.6 billion for 2013, a figure that represents almost 15 percent of the entire city's budget.

The public most certainly will side with the police when the "wilding" comes back and women are raped in broad daylight and noone dares to stop to help them out of fear they will be killed. I grew up in the 70s and 80s in the city. It was a very, very violent place. That violence appears likely to make a comeback with the second coming of David Dinkins and his gay wife at the helm of the city. 

If you try to proect yourself in new york shitty you will end up, upstate, like Berhard Goetz. The NYPD is the only line between you and the animals in that city.

“It’s different for a white child. And with Dante, very early on with my son, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do, don’t move suddenly, don’t reach for your cellphone,’ because we knew, sadly, there’s a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color.” - DeBlasio

One certainly assumes he's referring to white cops when the idiot says something like that. Someone needs to pull him off to the side and ask him if he feels a black cops are more or less likely to shoot a white kid. Or any other racial mix of cops vs kids.

He made his bed, he can lie in it.

Whoa, that was fast...lol.

So someones apparently saying if a cop stops A WHITE KID who doesn't "do everything he tells you to do, moves suddenly and reaches for his cellphone," nothing will happen?

I do what they ask, simply because they might shoot me otherwise. No other reason. They have the gun and the courts on their side. I have nothing protecting me from them, and only my own willingness to defend myself at the expense of my loss of freedom to protect myself from the non-costumed thugs.

 

It's a shitty situation to be in if you just want to live your life without living in fear of it being stolen. You can't live free if you fear death, and that is anti-thetic to the concept of liberty, and the notion of civilization.

I think the junks came from people who don't think someone in leadership positions (mayors, council members, congress critters, presidents etc.) should be pointing out skin color.

The mayor did, trying to make the case that black kids are being targeted by cops. Most sane people know that to be untrue. Its the ACTIVITY that people (of any skin color) engage in, that is targeted by cops.

Garner was selling loosies, its illegal and DeBlasio has done nothing to legalize it, so it will happen again eventually unless the cops now ignore it. Brown had just comitted a strong armed robbery of a convenience store, tried to take a cops gun, ran & then charged at the cop, its not an opinion, its what eyewitnesses (most of them black by the way) said happened.

The only incidents recently that I know of that comes even close to misconduct is the shooting of the kid up in Cleveland and the one in South Carolina. The one in SC, the trooper was fired and charged almost immediately. Not sure whats happening with the one in Cleveland.

The fucking idiot trooper in SC...

Don't forget Dave that the situation by and large is the result of social engineering by the Ruling Oligarchy. Whether some of these black thugs you speak of know it or not they are still useful idiots in The Man's manipulations. Black populations in the US were targeted long ago for destabilization and the destruction of the family unit. 60 years ago Black legitimacy rates were higher than whites. Who do you think ran and still runs the heroin and cocaine into the Black communities?

It's the same old players. The descendents of the East India Company and their cohorts. When you get to the bottom of the cesspool it's always the same old crowd... the City of London, the English and Dutch Royals, some big time Italians and Germans, mixed in with Rockefellers and top Wall Street criminals. There are different levels to the Great Game and we are all being played... Divide and Conquer.

I agree that New York is over-regulated, but blaming the cops for that sounds like blaming a foot soldier for a war.

Politicians write the laws and declare the wars. Well, the President does that now, except he calls it kinetic action or healthcare something.

Criminals want to operate with impunity. Soon they will.

Enjoy the anarchy New York, you are reaping what you have sown.

Funny how the police blame DeBlasio.  As if some militant traveled to NYC to go out in a blaze of glory there because the mayor is a softie PC marxist.  Surely it had nothing to do with cops murdering Eric Garner with impunity.  Nothing is ever the cops' fault. 

At least NYC can breathe for a bit.  We'll see how it goes.  I think the puppetmasters are trying to make this a racial issue when it's really a police state issue.  The next manipulated step is rampaging gangbangers, followed by whites begging for an even more aggressive and unaccountable police state, which will of course be turned against them (because that's where the money is).  In the meantime, sit back with a Big Gulp and watch as some rich idiot tries to hold back pillaging orcs with "But I'm a liberal!  I love you, you love me, right?"  It's all part of the show.

Sadly you really don't have much in the way of well paying jobs out in whatever you consider  'paradise'.  I worked in a plant in exurbia right out of college - place shut down after a year.  Glad it did - horrid place to live - most of the population was drunk all weekend.  Not much else to do.  They finally got a mall a decade after I left.     Frankly, I'll take NY over THAT depressed shithole or middle of nowhere NC where my brother lives.  He's got Walmart, NASCAR on TV and not much else - with crap schools turning out grads barely smarter than rocks.  

My brother's idea of a 'good meal out' is Ponderosa or Red Lobster......  REALLY?!?!   He has no idea of what GOOD food is.

Oh... side benefit - top hospitals.  My wife had top treatment for breast cancer - his wife got treatment a decade behind the times.  Big difference and not uncommon.  Same thing with many, many others living all over the country. 

 

Yeah, mt brother has a cheaper cost of living - makes a difference early in your working life BUT salaries top out quick and NO real choice of employers when 'the plant' closes.  He's been on shift work all his life.  The Fortune 500 Company that owned his plant sold it to a third rate owner with a corresponding cut in pay and benefits.

You have got it SOOOO wrong.

Have a VERY nice life - enjoying  all there is to offer in a place like NYC as well as taking vacations all over the country.  Have spent more time and miles on back country trails than I can count.  Have renovated a nice big old house in the close by NY burbs and redone a few older cars.  Made far more than I could have elsewhere AND kept my soul.  My kids went to a GOOD school (though not as good as they'd like to think) and top universities - opposed to the 'worst value in college' schools other family's kids have gone to.  

There are some good well paying opportunities outside large metro areas but they are few and far between.  Look at just who is buying up the really nice property in the realy idyllic places - all money coming from major metro areas.  Hell the locals can't even afford to live in places like Jackson Hole anymore.

Have done far better than any others in a large extended family, most of whom are still on the ratrace treadmill.

Sorry but NC is not known for good schools. Their state budget is one of the lowest for k-12 funding. We were planning to try moving there but after some research we decided they have A) too many illegals (more than Virginia which has a shit ton), and B) miniscule funding for K-12. Not to mention it gets hit by hurricanes more often than any other state. Great retirement state maybe but not the best state to raise a family.

Who said NYC is functioning normally?

Who are the cops trying to affect with their pseudo strike, the city's finances or the defenseless public?  Do we know if the cops are out there and detering crime with their simple presence - looking the other way for traffic violations and responding instantly to rapes?

I think they are focused on the purse, and it is good strategy.  Just wait for the next muni sale.

If you think the RINO Chris Christie turned progressive overnight and started giving Obama hugs post Hurricane Sandy, just watch De Blasio try to reach into Obama's pants.  This will be fun to watch.  Obama doesn't care anymore.  Who will it hurt more if NYC gets roughed up, Hillary or Elizabeth Warren?  Obama hates Hillary, and she has very close ties to NYC.
