From the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association:
Police departments throughout NY that share a border or have brave officers whose work fighting crime can take them into NYC have issued orders to not enter the five boroughs.
Why? Because the City Council and Mayor have passed the ill-advised, dangerous “Diaphragm Bill.” pic.twitter.com/grGa3ipNRa

Here are the two easier to read letters from the Tweet:
All four letters name Code section 10-181 as the cause of these city departments refusing to enter the jurisdiction of or provide assistance to the NYPD.
As Miguel noted before, Section 10-181 criminalizes the most effective techniques for police to control suspects while placing them under arrest.
Neighboring departments will not put their officers at risk of being prosecuted by NYC or being hurt or killed by criminals who are given the upper hand by NYC’s Woke restriction on subdual techniques.
After 9/11, the NYPD needed all the help it could get.
Given what de Blasio has done, if another disaster hit NYC, be it terrorist, natural, or social upheaval, the NYPD is on its own.
Actions have consequences. All too often, the leftists never suffer the consequences of their actions. Hopefully, this time they will.
It’s funny how people who live all their lives in ivory towers, and whose only knowledge of violent crime is TV shows, think that they are smarter and wiser than a beat cop with 10 or 15 years of dealing with degenerate, or psychopathic criminals. The people who think they are smarter than everyone else are generally dumber than everyone else.
That was the Obama Administration. All ivory tower ideas to come out of people with advanced degrees and no practical experience put in place by ideologues.
“Why do have to use lethal force so often? Can’t you use some less lethal means for subduing a violent, deranged suspect?”
“How dare you use batons to strike suspects, you could cause them injury! With all the officers you have available, surely you can use physical restraint and hand to hand combat techniques to disarm and subdue them without resorting to clubs and other dangerous weapons!”
“All this physical violence, wrestling with suspects and using superior physical force on them creates a hazard to the suspect! We demand you no longer use any sort of restraint that poses the slightest risk of injury on the suspect!”
Can’t we just skip all the BS and say “arresting people is not okay; all law enforcement must be carried out without placing the suspect under restraint at any time” and get it over with? “Officers may only arrests suspects who consent to being arrested; surely with all their training they can engage in verbal negotiation and reason to convince suspects to desist”
Next up: “arguing with suspects creates emotional and mental trauma! Attempting to force suspects into conformity with arbitrary ethical standards like “laws” is mental colonization, and we demand it be discontinued!”
Apparently they won’t be content until law enforcement is no longer a thing. Of course they will still expect anyone speaking in a way they find acceptable to be arrested and punished, and of course any white person carrying a gun should be arrested and imprisoned, if not shot immediately. Because we need to ensure the safety of People of Color against hate speech and violence.
