When Bill de Blasio is telling you that crime is down and there is no war against law enforcement, then watch this? pic.twitter.com/UinCMlQzKd

A man wearing a medical face mask was caught on camera sucker-punching an NYPD officer in the Bronx Tuesday night as the cop’s partner was subduing a robbery suspect.
Nelson Jimenez, 31, launched his attack in front of a crowd of bystanders who had gathered on a sidewalk near 183rd Street and Davidson Avenue in University Heights to watch the arrest of 27-year-old robbery suspect Yoemdy Castro, law enforcement sources said.
Yes, the Cop Punching Cheering Section should be allowed to take care of themselves and deal with the criminals till this virus thing is over. Why should NYPD officers should risk life. lungs and limb for the assholes of their city who wants them dead?
Go back to your precincts and tell 911 that the force is on vacation till sometime June. And as a bonus, give them the direct phone number of Mayor DeBlasio so they can lodge the complaints with him.
Said it before about NYC and will say it again: Let. It. Burn.
Cop pulled out the wrong hand held attacker deterrent device.
I agree totally. If the citizens hate the cops that much, the cops should grant their wishes and stop enforcing the laws.
It will literally take a generation to rebuild trust between the cops and the people in the various neighborhoods.
I think it would help, though, if they went back to exclusive beat walking and reserved the patrol cars for emergencies. Granted this has problems too (e.g. police version of “regulator capture”) but there are ways to ameliorate that, and at least if you walk the beat you get to know the people in the neighborhood and they know you.
Cops should have been more ‘distracted’ while the perp they did catch ‘got away’.
I can’t believe this. Blue flu, or a police strike, or whatever you want to call it, is wrong. You don’t punish the community for what DeBlasio is doing, you vote out DeBlasio. Things are bad, sure, and what people are saying about cops is unfair. But they have to protect and serve, no matter what people say. That’s one of the things that people can admire about police.
You have to understand something: The level of empathy that people have for NYC right now is not abundant. In fact, i would say that we really do not give a lot shit about Gotham and its people with very few exceptions.
