       We can also blame this on De Blasio as well, his inability to
       stand behind his own police department.

       Post that they aren't making arrests for minor crimes because

       car on Dec. 20.

       Yes I believe the officers fear for their safety.

       Welcome 12cows!!  I agree two more officers shot in the past
       couple of days.  Fortunately it looks like neither is fatal.

       Perhaps, or maybe they just want to (financially) break the city
       of NYC. So many different issues could be out work here. Let us
       just start with the love hate relationship society has with the
       police to begin with. Everyone seems to want laws to be obeyed,
       except when it is YOU that is not in compliance! Then your
       friendly neighborhood policeman is world's largest pig not in
       captivity. Police officers have to put up with this every day,
       it comes with the territory. The Mayor seems to have taken the
       position of "How dare you not do that which I have contempt for
       you for doing." But then again, it might not be like that at
       all.
       BTW, welcome aboard 12 cows :)

       A story too juicy to pass on.

       > The Reverend Al Sharpton lashed out at New York cops on Monday
       after they revealed to the New York Daily News that they found
       his **** prescription in the apartment of a lawyer friend
       recently cleared of rape charges. Sharpton claimed that he is
       “unembarrassable.”
       >
       > According to the NYDN, when asked about the find, “a shocked
       Sharpton”  initially feigned ignorance about the RX note for the
       sex pills.
       >
       > “I don’t know anything about that, no, I don’t know anything
       about that,” Sharpton said, “after a speechless second.”
       >
       > He roared back a moment later, accusing the source who leaked
       the detail of trying to embarrass him with a smear campaign and
       saying he would demand an investigation.
       >
       > “I am not saying what I do or don’t do, I’m not going to
       invade my privacy for some cop,” said Sharpton. “I have no
       knowledge of what was in (Rubenstein’s) apartment. But it’s not
       uncommon for men of all ages to use certain things.
       >
       > “If the motive of the cop was to embarrass me, at 60 years
       old, I am unembarrassable,” fumed Sharpton, whose longstanding
       animosity with the NYPD has reached a fever pitch because of his
       vocal opposition to stop-and-frisk and close relationship to
       Mayor de Blasio. The tensions got even worse recently with the
       execution of two cops who were shot while on duty.
       >
       > The prescription was just the latest in a string of tawdry
       finds cops made as they searched Rubenstein’s apartment after a
       top official with Sharpton’s National Action Network accused him
       of drugging and raping her last year.
       >
       > On Monday, however,  prosecutors concluded there was no case.
       >
       > “Given the available evidence, the degree of the complainant’s
       recollection of what occurred at the suspect’s apartment, and
       the results of toxicological testing, neither the provable facts
       nor the applicable law support a prosecution in this matter,”
       Manhattan District Attorney spokeswoman Joan Vollero said in a
       statement.

       > An investigation into #v-i-a-graGate – the police conspiracy

       You have to have a conscious to get embarrassed.  I guess he
       answered that question.  :D  Maybe it's the v-i-agra that's
       making him "unembarassable"
       I heard he's suing Pfizer trying to get them to call the little
       blue pill the little black pill.

       The NYC police force is basically on vacation, yet crime hasn't
       exploded. I'm not sure this is proving the point they'd hoped it
       would.
       Seems to me the taxpayers could do a bit of  herd thinning and
       save on payroll.

       Exploded?  No it hasn't exploded but it is on the rise.  Of
       course the most recent statistics aren't available yet but it is
       rising.
