Correction: after the BLM protests the NYPD is on an intentional work stoppage until we all come crying back to them for stop and frisk and extrajudicial killings

A lot of the people terrorizing the city are repeat offenders. Which means the cops did their job 30 times and the system let them out.

Damn I still remember watching some live streams of shitload of police following and barricading the protesters marching up 8th ave while at the exact same time Soho was getting looted all over the place. Like someone surely gave them the order just let all that shit go right?

It's really funny how the progressives on this sub oscillate between "police don't reduce crime and crime went down when they went on strike" and "police not doing their job is the reason why people are breaking the law so much".

Police are still arresting people, they just get out 2 hours later ROR.

The same people tasked with dealing with literal hardened criminals on the daily, and are issued a gun with the hope that they don’t kill without reason, but to possibly save their own lives. Yes, those police. When was the last time you feared for your life at your workplace? Bring on the downvotes. Every public service job - firefighter, cops, teachers - deserves double the salary of what they make currently.

They make more than soldiers in a literal warzone

Ps the top cop killer precovid is traffic accidents

Post covid... Well it's COVID

Lots of professions with higher fatalities than cops

They do get trained to be scared of everything thought

> BLM wanted the community to have no police presence

…no? I heard a lot of people talking about better allocation of resources so the police aren’t dealing with homeless people, the mentally ill, not arming them with army-level tanks, etc etc. Yeah, there are/were extremists, same as every movement. Seems like a waste of everyone’s time to focus on them, though.

If all you’re willing to see is the right wing trope of a movement there’s never going to be any progress.

That's my conspiracy theory. Eventually the government is gonna swing back hard. We did fucking elect a cop as mayor.
