Jeff,
You are so right that it isn’t even funny.
No police, under funded police are they nuts.
Its like the coronavirus, better to chance dying than letting the economy crash, same thing here, sure there are bad cops, but most are good, so you dont get rid of all of them.
Anyone who thinks that police depts should be closed is a f@cking idiot. It’s just that simple.
Retired 26 year member of NYPD, now living in Coral Springs.
If you really believe that NYC can exist without an organized police department, think again.
Just a guess, but without the NYPD I guarantee you that you would literally be scared shitless to ever leave your house again.
Now you know why there is a second amendment.
I must say that the mass liberal media like CNN, MSNBC, etc have literally destroyed America. Their coverage of the coronavirus made what really is a very very severe flu into a monster that destroyed the US economy. Its further coverage of the choke death worked people into a frenzy which has people and corp scared to speak their minds.
Straight up. Leave the cops alone. For sure, look into racism because everybody has racism. But the stupid thought to get rid of police is beyond ridiculous. Lowering what you are going to spend on police is another stupid idea. The money you cut would fall into the hands of crooks like Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.
Talk of reparations to black people is another absurd idea. Every person’s ancestors except for native Americans came to this country from somewhere else And when they got here they were treated like crap etc. How about paying those folks reparations also?
I can tell Fox is telling you what to think. You do know only 4 million Americans watch CNN and MSNBC combined and of those only 900000 are between 25 and 54. So your belief is these people have the power to convince Russia China Spain and so on that the Covid19 is not just a flu and to shut down their economy but the 3.6 million that watch fox could not? Please turn off fox
Mark Hayward,
You are entitled to your own opinions.
26 years as a member of the NYPD with the end rank of Deputy Inspector wasn’t a bad run.
If you can keep a secret the first autopsy done in Minnesota didn’t have death by asphyxiation. The Family’s examiner Baden who is PAID by the family said it was. The Minnesota report was then changed. Trust Inspector V when I tell you the grounds have already been laid for a not guilty verdict and at worst a way lesser plea than currently charged. The 2 reports are all the defense will need to get what it wants.
As for the other 3 officers. You haven’t seen their CAMS have you? They will most likely exonerate the other 3.
Don’t rush to judgment so fast.
so the autopsy by the deep state trying to cover up a murder of one of their own might have been biased? If you drive the car where a felony was committed even if you did not commit the crime you are guilty. Does that not apply to all Americas?
But that being said the 3 will not be convicted as that law is 95% used against blacks. Whites are usually let off on a lesser charge.
The original autopsy having been changed makes all 4 prosecutions much harder to get convictions.
Jeff,
I am a retired NYPD Deputy Inspector. Came up through the ranks and retired 10 years ago. Currently living in beautiful Sarasota.
Any person who argues for doing away with police departments deserves to be institutionalized in an insane asylum.
Unless you’ve been a cop, you don’t know how hard this job is. Many people think that we eat donuts all day. Trust me, there is a reason why when I was on the job, everyday my wife would say to me when I left for work “STAY SAFE.”
All I can tell you, I was at the World Trade Center on Tuesday morning 9/11/2001 and I definitely wasn’t busy eating donuts.
To all you bleeding heart liberal morons dancing the Cuban Shuffle at your demonstrations, I guarantee you that you wouldn’t have had the balls to run into one of the towers and carry on your back a 185 lb handicapped wheel chair bound office worker out of the building to safety.
I SAW THE VIDEO OF THE MINNEAPOLIS CHOKING. NOW EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO A FAIR TRIAL, BUT FROM WHAT I SAW I WAS DISGUSTED AND THAT OFFICER WOULDNT WANT ME ON THE JURY. As for the other 3 officers which includes 2 rookies, I’m willing to wait to hear their version on what exactly happened.
The other day on tv I saw Al Sharpton speaking at a memorial service. Trust me when I tell all you bleeding heart liberals this man is more dangerous to the minorities of this country than any police officer in US history has been.
The man talks a good game, trust me, this is bad man. Do a drop of research and you’ll get the picture. While you’re at it, also give Jessie Jackson a bit of attention. He’s another character that is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
No problem here weeding out bad cops.
All I know is that if I was in a really dark alley with 2 23 year old muggers (you pick the color and races) holding a knife to my throat I’d be thrilled to see 2 cops (you pick the color and races) show up ready to do battle and not 2 social workers looking to right the wrongs of 250 years of American history by joining hands with the muggers (after giving them my watch-wedding ring-wallet-cell phone-car keys) while singing kumbaya.
My brother was a cop who died on 9/11.
Screw the protesters and looters who are bad mouthing cops.
No ifs ands or buts that there are some real bad cops out there but most are good decent people.
Without men (and for that matter women) like my brother, this country would be a lawless shit hole with gangs running the American people.
The next time your house is being robbed or someone is following you, call your social worker for help.
Fools!
What the hell are you apologizing for?
It seems every ceo and white athlete is apologizing for somehow not being sensitive to America’s black population.
Personally, I don’t give a good shit as to who is happy or who is unhappy concerning the way I believe or the way I feel about a particular issue.
Come on! This is America and the Constitution says I can do and believe whatever I want.
And no, I’m not giving some poor minority kid my house in Boca Raton because Black Lives Matter think I should.
And if you disagree that I have rights, just remember you won’t be able to call the cops for help because you got rid of them, when I exercise my 1st and 2nd amendment rights while I’m protecting my myself, my family and my property.
Two can play this game.
What I want to know is how are these 4 cops ever going to get a fair trial?
Jeff,
36 years as a member of the Florida bar tells me that other than Officer Chauvin who is the cop with his knee on Flyod’s neck the cases against the other 3 officers ain’t gonna be a walk in the park to win for the prosecution. Notice the public has yet to see all 4 body cams’ footage.
Henry H,
47 years of practice here, NY and NJ and I’m with you 100% that the 3 others are going to claim that they asked Chauvin to turn Floyd over.
I got a great idea, tomorrow morning every cop in America should call in sick. Then we’ll see how this whole no cop world idea turns out.
I can tell who watched fake fox news cause you dont know what the idea of defunding the police means. Please tirn of cable news and read. Defunding the police does not mean stripping a department entirely of its budget, or abolishing it altogether. It’s just about scaling police budgets back and reallocating those resources to other agencies, says Lynda Garcia, policing campaign director at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “A lot of what we advocate for is investment in community services — education, medical access… You can call it ‘defunding,’ but it’s just about directing or balancing the budget in a different way.”The concept is simple: When cities start investing in community services, they reduce the need to call police in instances when police officers’ specific skill set isn’t required. “If someone is dealing with a mental health crisis, or someone has a substance abuse disorder, we are calling other entities that are better equipped to help these folks,” Garcia says.
The Minneapolis City Council voted to abolish the police department.
Just reading the comments here, you are the only oneI read that isn’t pro police. The bet here is that you aren’t black but are a dumbass liberal who really doesn’t know shit about what’s going on in this world. Betcha a buck you really believe that Joe Biden and his son Hunter aren’t crooks who used the VP Office to get various foreign deals.
See ya.
I am pro proper police but yes i am against bad cops that kill unlike you who seems to thinks cops have a licence to kill. As for the Bidens i can again tell you are fox news brainwashed. Did hunter get a job because dad was VP yes Did Ivanka get Chinese trademarks because her daddy is Pres Yes. Did the taxpayers spend 77000 so JR could kill an endangered sheep? yes. Its politics as normal. As for race i an a white gay republican who had his scull cracked open by a Ft Lauderdale cop for being at the Copa in Ft Lauderdale. I ended up in the hospital and the cop got nothing cause Navarro would not investigate his own. AKA bad cops. And for the last point they did not vote to balish they voted to reorganize like Camden NJ did and it worked for them some time you have to clean house Turn off Fake news and read the truth its out there. I bet Fox is on right now and will be on in the background all day so you can be brainwashed
The fake news is CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC.
If you can’t see that their sole goal is to deafest Trump you are one dumb ass.
Joe Biden is on the verge of full blown Alzheimers. Can’t you see that half the time he can’t recall what the hell he just said? The half of the time he is just babbling.
The downfall for DEM is going to be when Biden picks a female black as his running mate.
Be smart, Watch Laura on Fox at 10pm. She calls it legit.
Jeff,
How much do you think Floyd’s attorney pays Sharpton for working up the crowds day in and day out?
Carl,
I was wondering the same thing.
I’m thinking 5% of the fee.
Let’s figure that not including the millions already collected in GoFundMe account, the city will probably pay the family $15,000,000 with the attorney getting 1/3 which is $5,000,000. So if Sharpton gets 5% he collects $250,000.
I’m sure that Floyd’s family will try and survive the loss with the $23,000,000 give or take which they’ll net for Floyd’s demise.
My thoughts as a long time criminal defense counsel is that if the other 3 can get a fair trial the 2 rookies got a shot of being acquitted. The other officer, not much info on him.
As for the officer with the neck claim, I’m thinking that the changing of the original autopsy report may save him from serving a long prison term.
Jeff,
How much do you think Floyd’s attorney pays Sharpton for preaching to the crowds day in and day out?
Al Sharpton AKA Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr pedals hate, anarchy and lies wherever he goes. Look up what this horrible scum bag did in Crown Heights, the Dunbar rapists, Ousmane Zongo, called for the federal government to stop maintaining the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., called Greek’s “homos”, his comments on Mormons have been bigoted/called the church racist against blacks, he derided moderate black politicians close to the Democratic Party as “cocktail sip Negroes” or “yellow niggers.“, owned millions of dollars in state, local and federal taxes that he was prosecuted for, worked as an FBI informant and lied about it, helped Tawana Brawley fabricate evidence in her rape case and was ordered to pay $345,000 in damages for liable for making seven defamatory statements in the fake case…
What a scum bag
I’m thinking that one of these days, one of the major cities in this country is going to have its PD pull a sickout and the city will have to handle the city without a police force. Then from my point of view, all of the folks pushing to abolish PDs or cut funding will find that the cities need cops really bad.
All i know is that if DEMOCRAT governors and mayors keep letting protesters get away with crap, Trump will be reelected in a landslide in the swing states.
Mart A,
You are right.
This absurd herd reaction is absurd.
All of a sudden, if you don’t agree with BLM you are an outcast.
BLM and these liberal fools are digging a grave for Biden.
I think that sensible people will say Trump is rough around the edges but this liberal agenda is off the wall.
Looking for big Trump rise as sensible people turn to him again in November.
Just a matter of time before the normal everyday Americans stop this bullshit about BLM.
If the local police departments don’t start taking control, you can expect everyday citizens to arm themselves and start shooting these lunatics who think that we owe them everything.
Have to agree with you.
Looking at these nuts who took over 6 blocks in Seattle. No cops to protect the residents. Just a matter of time until one of the lunatics gets shot by a resident. Time for cops to get their hands around this nonsense.
My brother and I own a nice sized dollar store in Hialeah.. Our respective families make nice livings from the store. We worked our asses off to get where we are.
I am watching in horror the looting and other nonsense surrounding the Floyd death.
All I can tell you, is if our store was attacked by the type of looters that we’ve seen on tv and I or my brother or both of us were in the store, the looters would regret the day they broke in.
Let’s leave this by saying, we believe in the second amendment and what is ours, is not yours, unless you pay us for it.
The left is trying to erase America’s history.
The right wants to learn from America’s history and go forward.
Biden is going to lose. The reason, the left is pissing off most Americans.
Exactly.
Time to send in the National Guard to those 6 streets in Seattle. Time for the Mayor and Governor to be recalled.
I heard that the looters now want Plantation to change its name.
What a joke.
You guys catch this one, Elmer Fudd can’t chase Bugs Bunny in Warner;s newest cartoon. It is being changed to a sickle.
TO ALL:
When a police officer tells you to put your hands behind your back, you fucking put your hands behind your back. You don’t start fighting with 2 officers and then grab one of the cop’s tasers and run away.
When a police officer tells you to stop running, you fucking stop running. You don’t turn around and fire a taser gun at the officer and not expect the cop to shoot your fucking head off.
BLACK BROWN WHITE…
WHEN A COP TELLS YOU TO STOP RUNNING YOU STOP RUNNING!
Stop bullshitting us about police racism.
Now they charged the cop with murder. Total nonsense.
For all of you defunders and those who want to get rid of the police altogether…

Now, get back to your burning down Wendy’s…
You folks are so dumb that it’s scary.
The videos tell the true story.
For sure there are some real bad cops, but the demonizing of all of them is nuts.
I’m now hearing the the BLM folks want to tear down the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
Why are all of these big companies scared of all of these protesters?
Best one yet, BLM wants Plantation, FL to change its name.
I think that this whole BLM overkill has awaken a sleeping giant.
Not going to a pretty outcome.
Here’s a good one/
The City of Columbus, Ohio is going to remove all Christopher Columbus statues.
I guess the City Council forgot what the name of its City is. What are they going to rename it, Formerly Columbus, Ohio?
With over 350,000,000 US citizens are Biden and Trump the best candidates we can find?
Send in the troops and this nonsensical bs will be over in about 5 minutes.
A bunch of assholes running wild and liberal mayors and governors and scared shitless corporate executives allowing mob rule.
Send in the troops, and you will see the mob collapse.
I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t believe what’s going on.
All I know, is that I’ve had a carry permit for 28 years here in Florida.
Trust me, no one is going to loot my business and destroy a business that i”ve built for years without having to fight me and my 3 partner brothers and they are also licensed to carry.
You break our windows, you run into a store and I guarantee you, you won’t be running out of our store.
I own a Men’s store in Miami.
If You try to destroy my business, That shirt or That suit that you want to loot will cost you you’re life . I promise you that you will never be able to steal anything ever again.
What comes around goes around.
Ha ha,
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday announced he will be taking the summer off after facing criticism over wearing blackface in a recurring skit he performed while working on “The Man Show” on Comedy Central.
Ken K,
These rioters will destroy America.
Kimmel’s career is dead.
They turned on him.
These rioters will destroy America.
Kimmel got fucked by his own people.
Rotflmfao
Kimmel joins Washington, Jefferson. Columbus on the junk pile of history as the BLM punishes their super liberal pal for a black face skit he did years ago.
Kimmel’s late night career is done.
Jimmy, what goes around, comes around.
You learned the hard way what most Americans- Know that this BLM takes no prisoners.
Jimmy Fallon is another BLM scared pussy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMpbwODjNTA
Oh shit, Billy Crystal better watch his ass. Did Black face of Smmy Davis jr.
BLM ain’t gonna be happy.
Pelosi’s father in 1948 as Baltimore’s mayor dedicated a Robert E Lee statue.
Goodbye Pelosi.
Now you know why there is still a KKK in America.
Can’t believe it that this 68 year old dentist just bought a handgun.
Better safe than sorry.
Ripping down a statue of George Washington.
Absurd.
Kiss Eskimo Pies goodbye.
Its manufacturer said it will be changing name as current name is an insult to eskimos.
WTF is going on?
if you don’t think that a Civil war isn’t coming you better think again.
How in the world does the DEMOCRAT governor and DEMOCRAT mayor allow anarchists to hold a 6 block area in Seattle hostage not allowing police in?
You folks do know that BLM is an anti Semitic
Organization, sure you do.
Just wait to when they start to attack synagogues and churches. They’ll tell you that Jesus wasn’t white, etc.
Get ready.
Hearing that BLM wants reparations paid to all BLACKS. Last count that would be 40,000,000 people.
Time to shut this organization down.
Don’t know what side you all are, but I can tell you that a civil war is in the making.
I foresee a very sad ending coming to the BLM.
I do too.
These lunatics running in the streets are eventually gonna met up with semi automatic carrying folks who are just going to take care of business.
Going to be a very brutal bunch of days when these confrontations happen.
I can only imagine what’s going to happen when those. NASCAR LOVERS decide that the USA has had enough of this rioting protesting bullshit. From what I can see, the Folks running in the streets are going to be no match for them,
This is what one guy thinks.
I guess he doesn’t know that Joe Biden is just an every day citizen just like you and me.
Leadership
By Bob Lefsetz
It’s time for Biden to take control of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Oh, I hear what you say, he’s not yet been elected President, we’ve got a system, and we must be in stasis until the election, allow Trump to bury himself in faux pas. BUT PEOPLE ARE DYING!
I don’t know about you, but I’m positively horrified at the numbers, going the wrong way. I’d delineate them, but you’re either paying attention or not, either you’re staying home or not, either you think you’re immune or you don’t. But for those of us aware, it’s astounding how the U.S. is a bastion of incompetency with a raging coronavirus, our response akin to that of third world nations, to the point where even the EU is questioning whether we should be able to cross its borders.
It’s not that difficult folks. You’ve just got to test and track.
But so far there’s no organized effort.
So, Biden rounds up all the blue state governors, all the red state ones who want to join, and he institutes a plan. Call it a shadow government, call it whatever you want, but in an era where Trump’s justice department keeps challenging norms, why are the Democrats sitting on their hands?
Masks… Every state signing up to the Biden plan must require them. Oh, people don’t want to be told what to do…that’s not America, that’s REPUBLICAN! Where is the Democratic leadership?
And contact tracing and daily tests and fourteen days of quarantine for anybody who is exposed.
Trump dumped Covid-19 treatment on the states, why are all the states acting as if it’s impossible to take coherent action, impossible to band together for an adequate response.
Once again, this is not about government, this is about lives.
Biden is the man. He organizes the governors. They enact a coherent plan. Covid-19 is contained. Do you think Trump is going to take any action? He thinks the virus is dying out, that people should come together and celebrate, despite Secret Service people getting infected at his rally in Tulsa. For Trump it’s all about the economy, but there will be no economy if everyone is too afraid to leave their house.
So, it’s very simple. A graph.
You’ve seen it. The one comparing the U.S. to other countries. Sure, we flattened the curve, it’s just that it didn’t go DOWN, and now it is going back UP! Whereas in Europe and elsewhere, the lines on the graph are pointing way down.
We publicize this each and every day. America comes together to achieve a goal. You’re either on the bus or off. Either you’re a patriot or you’re not. It’s time for Democrats to reclaim that word. A patriot is not someone who does whatever he wants and lionizes the military, a patriot is someone who stands up for the health of the country!
We need an organized plan.
Yes, it’s going to be hard to get everybody back into their houses. But maybe we do that for a week or two, while we get testing in place. Those who interact with others need to be tested EVERY DAY! Have Biden oversee the manufacture and distribution of said tests. And then there is contact tracing, if someone is infected, all those who came in contact with them must isolate for fourteen days. People are willing to sacrifice if you’ve got an organized plan, if it’s for the common good.
The purpose of the government is to serve the people, not enrich those in power.
If Biden is such a good leader, it’s time for him to do so now. And what’s even better is he can do it from his bunker, he doesn’t have to go on the road, the tech allows him to interact with everybody.
Have a Zoom meeting of all the governors. Get organized. Do it together. None of this my state is different, we’re all fighting the common enemy!
So, everybody stays home.
Meanwhile, we distribute the tests.
Then we let required workers and more slowly go back into the workplace, testing them EACH AND EVERY DAY!
And if someone is infected, we send them home, as well as everybody they came in contact with.
Forget Elon Musk, technologists and manufacturers do not run the country. And since the states will be organized, his threat to move to another domain will be empty.
The government and the people are in power, not the corporations.
So, we slowly roll out the economy, give freedom to the populace after the line on the graph goes way down.
We keep it down.
It just takes organization. Which they’ve got seemingly everywhere in the world but the United States.
Trump is not tying our hands, we’re tying our own!
Employ celebrities to tweet and post pictures of themselves staying at home, getting tested, paying fealty to the government workers in charge. Any money raised is for tests and contact tracing. Hire the unemployed to do said contact tracing. Fill the vacuum Trump has created.
And as there is success, and there will be, because it’s not rocket science, as I said previously it’s been done elsewhere, the naysayers will come along.
Meanwhile, ignore Fox News. Even ignore Trump. Just lead us out of the wilderness!
It’s your time Joe. And the somnambulant DNC too.
We’ve had revolution in the streets for a month. They’re tearing down statues and changing names. But when it comes to the true enemy, the coronavirus…crickets.
It may sound revolutionary to you, but it’s time for a revolution. It’s time for the Democrats to lead, because the Republicans are not. It’s not like the Republicans are saying the states can’t act, can’t organize, can’t mass purchase, they’re just saying they’re not gonna tell them what to do.
An end run that will save lives and embellish the image of those who take action.
Too big a risk?
Then you’re not part of the challenged demo. And last time I looked, Biden and Pelosi and so many other powerful Democrats are over sixty.
Meanwhile, the youngsters may not die, but they spread it to everybody else.
I’m willing to give up some privacy to save my life. Are you?
Can’t we come together to lick this problem?
Can’t we have some leadership?

Biden is an idiot.
Today he said that 120 million have died from Coronavirus.
The man should be in assisted living.
He was smart enough to to get his drug addict low life son Hunter loads of foreign contracts when he was VP.
Lefsetz,
You’re nuts.
Joe Biden is a loser.
the man was a senator from Delaware. not exactly a powerhouse state. he was never in a really contested election.
Biden used his VP title to help his son and brother get rich. Biden is a crook.
Cuomo and Diblasio are aintisemites.
They favor demonstrators running amok, but don’t want Jews and others to go to synagogue and churches.
