Police

Saw on the news where the police in New York in two different stops had water poured on them and in one an officer was hit with a bucket.no arrest were made and the officers kept going like nothing had happened. The news said it was because they felt they got no support from the mayor or their department. Just thought it was said to see. What do you think?

The perpetrators need " Rodney kinged "

Terrible situation. Should have been arrests but Liberal mayor has sabotaged the police.

This is just a preview of what is going to happen to our police forces if the democrats take over the Senate and Presidents office and keep control of the House in 2020.

That ain't happening!

It's going to happen to our soldiers if the left takes over too.

I believe at least one situation resulted in the interruption of an arrest? Also the buckets were used against police.

It was an assault against our officers. Lethal force should have been used! Now the whole city of NY is at risk because anyone who would harm you knows all they have to do is assault the police.

Sad!

NY literally just turned into a middle east war zone of you will?

Police are tied down. And the bad guys can do what ever they want.

If it's so bad that they would let this happen? Every officer in NY should quit and find another occupation!

Law Dog, that pic pretty much sums it up.

Another reason there shouldn't be a police union. That union has defined and affiliated law enforcement with a political party. IMO, I feel no sympathy for those cops, they made their bed and chose to walk away like sissies, when they should have enforced the law. Also, I wouldn't doubt at all that it was staged for a future gain.

I agree, the cops should just walk out. If no rule of law, they just have a target painted on them. Give them what the lib pos's want and have a dose of anarchy, maybe it will cut down the population in that cesspool, then they may appreciate what the cops have to do!

From the video, it looks like they did quit - they're just doing so while showing up for work every day. So afraid that they will look overly aggressive that they have stopped policing. The third world populations in cities has finally turned them into the third world they were trying to get away from. I guess it's true, you can take the boy out of the third world but you can't take the third world out of the boy.

Those cops have alot more restraint than I do, I would have called for backup and started making arrests.

I think it was staged. Its a crime just to touch a cop. If you dont think so go find a local cop where you are and try that. Or go to brooklyn and try it. Im not buying it

Boy have you got this one totally wrong in all areas of your post. Not even close.

This is exactly how many city leaders WANT their police to act. Anything more is too aggressive. City leaders in that city have already stated the cops in this clip did exactly what they wanted them to do.

BTW, Police Unions are those cops only back getters when things go bad. Make no mistake this situation was set up by the liberal administration....not the union.

Obamee started this. HIllary would have taken it to the next level.

Danny: No crime (at least in this state) for touching a cop. Even full out (unprovoked) assaults don't get charged in many big cities.

This clip is how all many big cities are now turning.

"Seattle is burning" (on YouTube) is a great documentary showing how these city administrators think and work. The Police aren't the only ones who suffer.

I'm one that believes that all Officers should wear a camera. It wouldn't be an answer to everything but it would be a start. Things are changing quickly in the U.S. and our law enforcement / courts are not keeping up. Bring back the chain gangs and make it to were you don't want to go to jail. It's sad when inmates better medical, legal aid and living conditions then our Veterans that have given up so much to protect their rights.

Cry me a river man. Law Enforcement helped get Most of the Dems elected and then want us to feel sorry for them and it doesn't work like that. Tell me this, did the FOP support Bill Clinton, yes they did and that started a lot of this mess. Although I will say the FOP has wised up. Also, are you saying that if those cops would have arrested the water throwers they would have been fired?

Two types of arrests, Catch. (1) Put your hands behind your back. He does it. No problem. (2) a struggle starts, a mob forms and people get hurt. We see the shortened clips on the news and youtube daily. In todays society (in the larger "Progressive" towns). Arrest #2 is more common. And guess who's there to fire you, and try and charge you with a crime? Even though most all of these firings are overturned after said department/city drags their feet until the political agenda is done, it's commonplace now. Toss in a Right to Work state and nobody to get your job back.

The clip either way is embarrassing...but I know whey they let it happen. This is exactly how most of these Progressive cities want their police to act nowadays.

Locally, they tried to take away the Police force's guns. Said they could see the city with an unarmed police force. Would be better for everyone. The state had to step in and tell them Nah.

Those officers in Harlem and Brooklyn that had water on them should've arrested them immediately. What if it wasn't water then you have aggravated assault.

One gang member was arrested for dumping water.

Just saw on the news where the Chamber of Commerce in Chicago sponsored an event in which kids could hit a piñata shaped like an ICE officer (including the letters ICE inscribed on the piñata) with a stick. If all this anti-law enforcement activity across the nation doesn’t rile you up to vote I guess nothing will.

Calvin, I agree with you on a lot of points, however LEO's haven't help themselves imo until maybe starting now. I also understand that Sheriffs are elected and Police Chiefs work at the pleasure of the Mayor. Those LEO's in the video should have arrested those disrespectful thugs immediately and upheld the oath they took. What's it gonna be like when the next LEO's go into those neighborhoods, my guess is it won't end well.

It'll not be long before we see riots in our streets just like Puerto Rico. Our founding fathers had the foresight to see this change in our Government and the means to fight back. It appears that people want the anarchy in our streets and I believe after the next election the streets will be flooded with these people. Keep your guns close and invest in more lead.

Catch....I agree with you. They should have got on the radio, made some arrests and gone with it... BUT those cops knew what was coming if they tried to arrest those people. It would have turned to a mud storm, And that's why they didn't. But once this starts, it's a very slippery slope. The admin will use this clip as the "standard" and anyone that does anything outside of it will be made to pay the consequences.

Again this clip is exactly what most of the department heads/Mayors/City council wants out of their officers nowadays. Policies are written to get what they want. Go against policy and see where you're working next.

Yes, Police Chiefs around the country work for the Mayor and city council. Don't do what they want and youre gone. Was a time when NYPD didn't answer to the mayor or city council. I guess maybe that's changed? Police Chiefs are political pawns. At least the Sherriff only answers to the people. Would be nice for the Sherriff to take over....but I don't think the Sheriff's dept will be hiring an additional 40,000 deputies to take on NY city anytime soon.

This is nothing new in NY the NYPD hates the Mayor and they have publicly turned their backs on him several times. No love loss there!

Backing from politions or not,,them cops,should not have let that happened.Comes a time when you need to do whats right,weather you loose your job over it or not.By letting them hood rats get away with that,,they put their fellow police in grave danger next time they have to go out.

Yes

But they shouldn't put themselves through such situations if they arnt allowed to do their job. Every officer there should resign and let that city burn in anarchy!

I would have said heck with it and sent the one who threw the bucket straight to h3ll! That would had been the only warning the others would have got. But there is a reason I was a door kicker and not law enforcement! My hat's off to those men and women!

Someone should get a bucket of water and throw it on the mayor, wonder how that would turn out.

That ICE pinata story is horrible, teaching young kids to basically be domestic terrorist. Least ways imo, sure don't seem like assimilation to me. I can't believe a lot of this stuff is going on, good grief.

The sad part it is reported that the Chamber of Commerce sponsored it.

This is the result of Obama's backing the criminal element and making the public view every act by the police as questionable.
The lack of respect for law enforcement and the increase in racial tensions were the worst things about his 8 years in office.

The world must b e gonna end because that's twice in the last few weeks we agree on something!

Obama and H. Clinton should've both been charged for inciting violence on the Dallas police shootings. They were both on tv spewing anti-cop crap and then that guy killed a bunch of them during a BLM protest. Imagine if Trump did the same!

(And, being Clinton was running for president that year the MSM covered her remarks up.)

I also remember some guys on here supporting the anti-cop stance before the facts came out.

Lots of good 'ole boys are anti-law enforcement too. Lots of folks whine about them until they need their help. One of the most thankless job in America.
