Notes from the Resistance
NYPD cops leave force in alarming rate — over 2,500 turned in badges so far in 2023 [More]
So they’re not only outnumbered and outgunned, they’re physically outmatched one-on-one with the feral yutes posing the real dangers.
Who thinks things are going to get better? Show your work.

An NYPD officer caught on video standing by and watching as a lieutenant was ruthlessly beaten on a subway car by two men in the Bronx was put on desk duty and had his gun taken away, officials said. [More]
What about repercussions when they let worse happen to “civilians”? Anything ever happen to Terrence Howell, who took credit for a takedown he hid from while a citizen with the fighting skills to ultimately prevail was being stabbed?
With the Coward of Broward and Uvalde, and with citizens being arrested tor getting involved to protect others, who in their right mind would Back the Yellow?

NY’s Door-to-Door Crusade Against Homemade Guns Backfires, Unintentional Masterclass in Ghost-Gunsmithing [More]
Considering their policy, I was surprised to see eBay involved.

An NYPD cop and her boyfriend were arrested Thursday on federal narcotics distribution charges and related conspiracy counts for selling more than a kilo of heroin and nearly a pound of fentanyl to a confidential source working for the FBI. [More]
And up until the time she was arrested, she was legally empowered to arrest you for being armed where the city dictated you could not be.

New York City Police Department’s 2022 Crime and Enforcement Activity Report Shows: Non-Whites Committed 97.1% of the Homicides and 98.9% of Non-Fatal Shootings… NYC Is 32% White [More]
Does pointing that out make them racist?

A motorcyclist died in a crash after a New York City police sergeant threw a cooler at his head [More]
If we’d done that they’d call it an assault cooler, with no legitimate thwarting purpose, but in this case it’s a patrol cooler.

New York citizen with 0 criminal record posts photos of a 3D printed AR lower on Reddit. NYPD (and presumably other agencies) magically have all of his credit card records and internet history within days showing “parts” purchases to complete the receivers. NYPD costume-wearing domestic terrorists in uniform show up and arrest the citizen. Seize over $22k worth of his property (including body armor claiming it was “firearm-related”). 6 months later all charges dropped. No items were returned. $10k+ in attorneys fees incurred. [More]

‘How Would You Feel About That?’: Troy Nehls Presents Shocking Hypothetical To Dem’s Witness [Watch]
The problem is, NYPD is a big part of the problem.
And it always has been.

NYPD cops resigning in new year at record-breaking pace — with a 117% jump from 2021 numbers [More]
No worries. Just keep lowering standards and they’ll have all the staff they need.

NYPD officers caught having sex in car after residents hear screams [More]
Anything you whoop can and will be held against you? Sounds more like they were given a pass, but don’t be surprised if bodycams really were turned on to share the amusement.
If that’s how seriously they take his wedding vows, imagine how they revere their oaths!

A jury convicted a former New York City police officer on Friday of second-degree murder in the death of his 8-year-old son, who was forced to sleep overnight on the concrete floor of a freezing garage. [More]
If he treated his child like this, what would he not do to you if angered?
I predict a hot reception in the cooler.

NYPD gun violence tracking database draws concern from civil liberties advocates … Critics of the list, which tracks gun violence suspects, worry people of color may be disproportionately surveilled. [More]
So “99%” is the data’s fault? Eric Adam’s supporters aren’t going to be very pleased.
And Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace complaining about racist gun control: That’s rich.
To be consistent, they’d have to put them on the “No Fly List,” which would be the political kiss of death, so it’s easier just to restrict what you and I can have.
