Awesome. people better get protection. The cops aren't going to be there to protect them. They will have to offer a seasonal greeting with an offer of tea to every gangbanger they encounter. Then wait until they get fired upon before drawing.

I'm glad they are standing up for themselves and telling that worthless p.o.s. not to show up if they die in the line of duty and yes he did throw them under the bus.

I bet that p.o.s. sure is quick to ask for police protection when he walks the streets. Maybe they should be slow to react and let a nut job put a number on the mayor, then he'd think twice about what he has done.

what does all this mean ? I guess because im not from n.y. city I don't understand what's happening here. the police are turning their back on the mayor, are they turning their back on all new Yorkers also.? the people are paying for police protection, does this mean their not going to get it ?

The mayor led the charge in trying to get the cop indicted then pretty much blasted the grand jury and it pissed the cops off and rightfully so. So that is why they are turning their backs on him.

They even started a petition that wanted to keep him away from cop funerals because they didn't want him there.

sounds bad, could become a war zone. after the shootings of the two cops, the cops could be very trigger happy now. and most people in that city against them, looks like a war.

People are demanding that DiBlasio step down and have a ton of signatures but I am fairly confident that he won't do that. The mayor depends on the NYPD to protect his mansion. Without the police we would have anarchy so they better straighten this out quick.

History has proven Democrats don't just step down. They have to be thrown down or they have to have a serious life threatening accident.

Of cource the cops are going to be trigger happy. They always were what we should do with the cops is take away their Glocks and give them back the wheel gun. Then at least they would have to stay calm under fire and aim. Now they just stick the gun in an opening and hid behind a wall in safety and unload the gun in a guilty or not guilty person who happened to walk buy

If I was a cop I would turn my back on him as well. Good for them. All this anti cop bullshit makes me sick to my stomach.

No there will be no war here. But the Police response time to 911 calls will be twice what it was before. Because they will send 2 cars or more to every 911 call now. Bratan already gave that order.

Hey I am anti cop but the way those two cops got it was nuts.It reminded me how the Son of Sam shot those couples making out.

Cops have to drive with the thought that anything can happen especially at night.

When I drive at night and a light changes I never try to beat the light. I slow down and never get to close to the car in front of me. I dont want to be to close to the car in front of me because I dont want to be set up so I cant escape. I will give it at least one car length so I can get out.

Being a Paranoid can keep you alive. Then if I have to get out then I will go through the light to get away. Also I never open up any of my windows.

The cops that got clipped were they shot threw the windows or were their windows already open to get that nice fresh air that people seem to need?

I saw on TV - and they are never wrong are they- that he shot through the glass. Of course the first round eliminated the glass giving him a clear follow up shot.

well, you can just bet the NYPD are all watching their backs now. with good reason. that nutcase shot himself, so now he can't even be brought to trial, I hope this is the last cop shooting in NYC.

If I Didn't Have a Gun
How often do you hear on the TV news or read on the local internet of a death by gun? Do you think our police force is nervous? Sitting in your patrol car you are not safe. Making a traffic stop you are not safe. Sitting on your front porch you are not safe. As a child attending school you are not safe. In a movie theatre you are not safe. On a college campus you are not safe. Shopping at a mall you are not safe. This is not about 2nd amendment. This is about gun control. This is about NRA lobbyist. This is about money. Stop the proliferation of guns in the hands of criminals and psychotics.

that's a very noble idea but what it would mean in reality is that only the criminals would have guns and law abiding citizens who wont get guns illegally would be unarmed and vulnerable.

I really think that what you said is true della, if you take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens, then the criminal element will have them, and they will get them through the biggest black market this country has ever seen.

taking away the guns of non- criminals is a recipe for disaster.

yeah, this was a gun control issue alright! this shitbag broke every single nyc gun law, but i suppose the solution is to tighten them even further, a sure liberal utopian fix. thank god he didn't have a "ghost gun"!

to be fair and balanced, there's always this common sense based solution as well... steal a parent's gun, bring it to school and hand it into a teacher if you don't feel safe.

yeah, you just said it all. the nuts are going to get the guns! taking away guns is a no- brainer. guns don't kill people, people kill people, and the bad guys will get the guns!!

no gun control.

When my ex friend John had his store in Harlem I would go in and talk and eat there.

Every few minutes people would come in and try to sell me something.

Pussy, Guns, Jewelry, Drugs, you could hire people to steal for you, hell to kill for you, borrow money and did I say pussy?



Nothing illegal is hard to get there

Now Johnny had no choice. He even had to pay protection to the cops. If he did not accept these people into his store. He and his store was not safe.

Lol Foots, PB is channeling me to tell you stato zitto and take your meds
Why is he your ex friend? I didn't know guys break up with their friends like women do?

It's almost like its the 1990's all over again and a BAD decade to be a cop.As for the mayor, I would turn my back on him too.

I think you guys are not thinking OUT of the BOX. Why does gun control mean that only criminals will have guns? That is the same thinking that puts guns in the hands of criminals. Law abiding citizens should have guns. Intelligent gun control keeps guns in the hands of law abiding citizens. Without gun control the nut-cases CAN BUY GUNS. I can't believe you SMART people don't get that concept.

That is nice in theory. The truth is, there is no such thing as intelligent gun control. Gun control leads to one thing, the elimination of guns. That is why conservatives don't want any. Look at California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York. Is that intelligent gun control? Nope, that's getting rid of guns period. Its basically impossible to get a CCP in any of these states. That's the end game of all gun control.

Its black and white. Either guns or no guns. I choose guns.

And the funny thing is when you see so called blue dog liberals in conservative states saying that some gun control is good. Trying to be hip while staying pro gun. They don't understand what the end game is. They need to live in a liberal state to understand what the end game of gun control is.

As much as I despise Deblasio, who is a classic example of the amoral and spineless politician, I despise the liberal, Democratic voters of NYC (who seem to be as numerous as the rats that crawl in the city's sewers) for voting him in. But I'm not surprised. These are the same assholes who made Hillary Clinton their senator for God's sake.

He came back into NYC I found out by accident. He did not even call to tell me he was in. He never did that before.

Last time he was here we went to Rao's. I brought my brother along, and my oldest son.

My brother has not seen him in 40 years give or take.

We were supposed to meet a mutual friend. Well he was more a friend of his then mine.Even though we were friends as kids.

He was a bad guy did a lot of bad things. His brother as well.

Well the guy never shows up. He had an accident while going some guys shot him in the head in his car. We found out later.

Johns upset he wanted me to go to his funeral with him.

I told him no I dont really go to funerals. He knows that I did not even go to his mother's funeral when she died, and I liked her very nice lady.

But I sent a lot o flowers and a Mass card my wife got that.

But when he pushed me to go to this guys funeral I said no and I would not even go to your funeral. He got mad at that. That was the last time a saw him. I sent him a few e mails he doesn't answer so he is now a one time friend.

Hey you make some you lose some. I have not made a real friend in decades.Fuck him I was his friend when he need someone to stop a drug rehabilitation place from moving in three building from his store. again fuck him

Hillary isn't nearly as bad as the liberal fuck they got in office now in Chuck Schumer. Although Kristen Gillibrand is fairly bipartisan and straightforward so I don't mind her.

In general New Yorkers are pretty left for a variety of reasons. But 'true' New Yorkers (ie not the yuppies from the Midwest PB talks about) also have the ability to see a good candidate. If NYC can vote Guiliani and Bloomberg into office there's still hope in my opinion, just get rid of De Blasio. Asshole doesn't deserve the position

Happy they did this. The guy has been quietly slamming cops since the eric garner incident. Has no respect for the badge.
