This issue will cause the NYC police to go into a tantrum, turn their backs on the Mayor, refuse to do their jobs and look to the rest of us like a bunch of bullies who when told to stop being assholes they act like a bunch of spoiled 6 year old children.
The NYC police ar completely out of control. I read Matt Tabbis book, Divide' it was stunning. They drive around in vans arresting any black person they see for no reason. Throw them in Rikers Island, where they sit and wait for months to see a judge.
In America. This is what we have become. Dont tell me we are not fascist. I heard the CBS sports radio guy yesterday saying he saw this and did not think it was that bad. He said that just what it looks like when they arrest someone. He is an idiot, thats not what it looks like when a police officer serves a warrant.
When I was very young, I learned a lesson. I was arrested ,interrogated , roughed up pretty good, charged with disturbing the peace, paid a fifty dollar fine and learned a lesson. But Im a white guy so let me go. There is no reason for this kind of un professional behavior.
