Here we go, as many have predicted. You want "defund"? Those with the money will be glad to let you have as much "defund" as you desire, will take the tax savings and put it toward their own "police":

Message: they got "social workers" already-
Lastly, just one of several tweets on something which has become a huge problem in the boroughs, building concurrently over the course of the covid pandemic (god only knows why, but the sounds of the Indy 500 have descended upon us, especially late at night, much worse than drag racing of my youth in Milwaukee)-look at this pic of the number of confiscated dirt bikes, it's incredible!

oh my, it does look like the NYPD Transit police force is much louder and prouder than the regular NYPD news feed, they are not afraid to appear to be harassing, harassing, harassing
the twitter account also throws in stuff like this:

admit that I too wouldn't mind seeing this law enacted everywhere; as the roads were created for movement of automobiles and transport via trucks and emergency vehicles, by taxpayers (and are maintained by gasoline taxes and such). Was not in creator's minds that they would be used for first amendment exercises by pedestrians:
Edit to add: Last few days the NYPD News feed on twitter has been absolutely full of notices warning to avoid this or that area because of protest activity. It's virtually all been on Israel and Palestine. Why should those who care so passionately about this foreign policy topic be able to disrupt the lives of their fellow citizens who don't? To just really shove their interest in others' faces? Which in most cases will be counterproductive! Feels almost like theft of public space and definitely like bullying.

I had posted videos of some serious Waffle House brawling on one previous thread. It seems that this subculture phenomenon has invaded Spirit Airlines?
I'm just grateful to be raised in a working class and poorer neighborhood where punching, hitting, pulling hair and kicking and the like wasn't seen as a solution to anything, at least not in public.Comes to mind even professional wrestlers didn't do it back then.Though little boys did do it sometimes, it was frowned upon.

What are they playing on the kiddie channel?
by PeraclesPlease on Wed, 05/26/2021 - 8:13am
Kind of shocking to run across all on one site the three examples of situations very similar to ones that made national discussion as examples of racism, but in these cases cops held back and two cops got shot and a girl got knifed to death. This reporter really follows everything going on out there.
I don''t know what they're showing on the kiddie channels but I do know that official BLM depicted another knife- wielding female teen about to stab another as a martyred queen on Twitter. They didn't change that after the body cam came out, they left it up. So I guess that means all children are born warriors and it's parents' jobs to teach them to use weapons judiciously? Or are they envisioning a sort of "Lord of the Flies" situation as the ideal society? Or what?

The George Floyd Square gunfire report, to me there's like a 19th-century quality to it, as in the olden days illustrated tabloids where "Brit visits wild west in America" to check out one of the worlds of savages for the audience's infotainment.

apparently there's enough belief that there is a "surge" in violent behavior on air flights by two airlines that they are putting off serving alcohol:
alcohol sales are high proft for them so they really believe it's bad. Was going to post examples earlier but thought again as it might be playing up outliers too much. But now this.
