^ One reason the "defund" spiel rings pretty damn hollow with most New Yorkers. Social workers etc. ain't gonna do much good on the subway or in Time Square, for that matter. The MTA workers can't even protect themselves much less passengers.
It's a lot of poor and working people who are stuck taking the subway, Uber is vastly preferred if one can afford it (buses are out of the question unless you are retired and have all the time in the world, they can take hours and hours because of the traffic situation combined with their many stops.)

Shooting up in public won't solve police abuse & racial hate? Better warn Baltimore, rmrd - dropping enforcement wuz supposed to fix all that, no?

The thing that really gets me is official BLM website explanation of their desire to eventually abolish police and prisons. So that they can do what ths state of Georgia just got rid of --citizen's arrests--that's right, neighborhood watch people (kind of like, say, George Zimmerman, eh? that worked out well). It will be a happy happy world where everyone who is a part of the "community" keeps an eagle eye on every stranger (perhaps one with different color skin?) that travels the streets. Hussle them off to "community counseling" (by force if necessary) if he won't behave, sort of like kangaroo courts? Sounds just dandy, sort of like a mix of Jim Crow and old west vigilantism. Laws, what laws? we decide whether you fit in or don't belong here. Got the bible. Anarchism is where far left and far right meet, two peas in a pod, and both just love some guns for self-protection.

Two deputies killed, city employee injured while responding to 'dog complaint' in Eden, TX
by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 05/11/2021 - 1:42pm
I looked for better info., whole story is wack and confusing, there is either lousy communication with the media, or clueless media down there, or they are hiding something. Happened last night. All say it's about a dog complaint, but nothing else about the dog complaint in any of them.
One says they stopped the perp in car a block from his house and told him to put his hands up (why?) and he fled to his house (why?) a block away and barricaded in. Most mention an "altercation" Then I find one that says there was a half hour standoff INCLUDING THE MAYOR of the town who lived closeby, is a neighbor, and tried to help get the guy to surrender!.
Where's the dog complaint part of the story?
Perp is arrested right away, his arrest photo is broadcast. And he is even charged already with murder! Who arrested him if they are both dead? There were more cops there! There was a standoff.
Meanwhile the governor knows about it right away!
There's a picture of cop cars in procession accompanying officer bodies to autopsy, they all know what happened and where but the media doesn't
Nothing more about a dog.
What's really going on here? Is this guy an anti-cop extremist of some sort or did he have a warrant out on him or is he mentally ill?
https://www.gosanangelo.com/story/news/2021/05/11/concho-county-shooting-eden-tx-deputies-nicholas-jeffrey/5038169001/
this one even say there was a "car chase"!
https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/2-texas-deputies-killed-in-west-texas-shootout-after-car-chase/
what does the fucking dog have to do with it?
do they use radio or did they shut it off?
by artappraiser on Tue, 05/11/2021 - 3:59pm
The dog that didn't bark.
Or one that barked 13 years late.

I admit I read something the other day that suggested that this #MeToo is an orchestrated hit job, and that it basically made him toast as a candidate, it was by like an analyst type that didn't have an agenda beyond analyzing election prospects. I went looking for it, couldn't find it, but I found this, The Intercept on it. Throw that together with Katha Pollitt and you got: lefties saying this, go figure. BUT BUT BUT here's the thing: he's boring was toast to begin with, nobody in NYC at this point in time wants such an old Dem machine guy (much less an old white one) with "decades of experience". At what? doing things badly, that's what they see, they want the opposite of that. It's the AOC story here: vote for anyone but old farts who have proved themselves not to be able to solve a damn thing. Also anyone that worked with DeBlasio gets extra demerit points. So it's like someone targeted a loser with dirty tricks, so what? I suspect old style lefties are defending him may be about him originaly being a protege of Rep. Nadler. It's the old tyme upper west side style liberal gang that thinks they are still game BUT THEY ARE NOT....always delusions that they can win again with good bleeding heart pie-in-sky liberal types like our current mayor and his lovely wife. Would not be surprised if Katrina van der Heuvel comes out with righteous defense as well. Robert Reich, too, he's the type.

the dog just totally disappeared now but there is still no hint about why they went on a "short chase" after this guy

This story brings up how gun licensing doesn't have a chance of helping if others let someone have their gun or don't even report it stolen. Plus, without any record of domestic violence, sounds like someone like him could have gotten one anyway. There really isn't hope of an alternative to trying to prevent stuff like this from happening except government authorities of some kind demanding treatment for anger management.after less violent incident, at the cost of privacy of us all. (if not police, some other, but is someone like this going to be frightened into treatment by "some other"? ) I don't know if restraining orders have a chance of working. I do know it is common for vicitms to complain that police don't enforce them enough.

There's a Manson Family-like murder every week or 2 now - poor Chuck would've really had to raise the ante on his global race war/pop star channeling schtick to get noticed these days. Though he was ahead of his time in female empowerment - the women really walked the walk in his org, not just fixing tea and making babies.

People need to read the opb.org article on Portland above, the rampup this weekend is at the suggestion of the FBI, has to do with black lives, and has little to do with the police union's voiced fears:
by artappraiser on Sun, 05/16/2021 - 9:08pm
I am at a real loss to understand why I am supposed to give a preference in my memory to remembering the name Breonna Taylor but nobody outside of Portland gives two hoots about remembering the names Danae Williams or Jalon Yoakum. It's not just absurd but tragic, makes me angry, breaks my heart, seems horrendously ridiculous and unfair. I suspect FBI Agent Ramsey agrees and likewise, gives two hoots about what BLM and related anti-police lefties think of him. (I do hope he's able to instruct the police on his team to stop and frisk every dang person that looks like they are carrying a gun this weekend...)
