		<description><![CDATA[Misinformation that kills. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Police-IMG_4105.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248432" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Police-IMG_4105-397x350.jpg" alt="Police-IMG_4105" width="330" height="291" /></a>Recently, I claimed that everyone—politicians, academics, and media commentators—who promoted the idea that police brutality is a national “epidemic,” or even a “growing concern,” as one self-styled libertarian put it, share some culpability for the murders of the two NYPD officers who were gunned down in their vehicle right before Christmas.</p>
<p>More specifically, they are responsible, obviously, not for intending or consciously encouraging the murder of police, but for creating a climate for police officers that’s even more hostile than that in which officers must spend their days and nights.  After all, we don’t need Richard Weaver to inform us that “ideas have consequences.”  Even simpletons and liars will concede this much.</p>
<p>And only simpletons and liars can deny that this idea—the idea of a “pandemic” of police brutality sweeping the nation—has the consequence of endangering police officers.</p>
<p>Yet this idea isn’t just dangerous.</p>
<p>It is also a lie.  And it is a huge lie at that.</p>
<p>“Police brutality” is an all-purpose piece of rhetoric that, as such, can mean anything and everything—and, thus, nothing at all. When anti-police misologists—a “misologist” was the word that the 18<sup>th</sup> century philosopher Immanuel Kant used when referring to an enemy of reason—sound off about “police brutality,” they are referring to the police’s unjustified use of force.</p>
<p>Now, all but anarchists concede that police are authorized to use force when necessary and when it’s proportionate to the situation in question. When, however, the force deployed is unnecessary and/or excessive, then the force is unjustified. This—the unnecessary and/or excessive use of force—is “police brutality.”</p>
<p>So, is this a growing national phenomenon, an epidemic?</p>
<p>Not even close.</p>
<p>According to the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), in 1999, of 44 million people who had face-to-face interactions with police officers, less than one-half of one percent was “threatened with or actually experienced force.”</p>
<p>Notice, the assertion here isn’t that less than one-half of one percent—it bears repeating: one-half of one percent!—was subjected to the use of unjustified force; the claim is that of 44 million, this miniscule fraction of people were either threatened with—threatened with—or subjected to the use of force per se.</p>
<p>What this in turn means is that the number of people who were “brutalized” by police is even smaller than “less than one-half of one percent.”</p>
<p>According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS), of a national population estimate of roughly 240, 000,000 comprised of people of 16 years of age or older, of those who dealt with the police in some capacity in 2002, 2005, and 2008, 1.5%, 1.6%, and 1.4%, respectively, were either threatened with or subjected to force by the police.</p>
<p>In 2008, 22% of those falling into the latter group admitted that they “argued with, cursed at, insulted, or verbally threatened the police.”  Twelve percent reported that they were “disobeying” and/or “interfering” with police.</p>
<p>Of the 84% of people who felt that the threat or use of police use force was “improper,” only 14% filed a complaint.</p>
<p>To further underscore just what a whopper of a lie is the notion that “police brutality” is a nationwide epidemic, consider this: Among those included in the class of people who have had to deal with police are those who have called on the police for assistance.  And among those who have done so, about 85 percent claimed to have been “satisfied with the police response.”  Moreover—shocker of shockers!—Hispanics (86%) and blacks (85%) were slightly more satisfied than were whites (83%). Finally, about 90 percent of people who requested police assistance said that they would do so again.</p>
<p>Only in the fevered imagination of the cop-hating ideologue is “police brutality” a national crisis, or any sort of crisis.</p>
<p>Of course, none of this is to deny that there are bad cops.  Genuinely abusive police officers, like those who abuse their power and authority anywhere, deserve to be crucified.  But there is zero justification for abstracting from these relatively few instances a rule encompassing police officers generally.</p>
<p>Numbers aside, just some rudimentary common sense—a rare commodity nowadays, and practically nonexistent among the police-hating ideologues—should determine that in this Age of the Camera—a time in which everyone and their mother is armed with surveillance apparatus—the police have no real option but to be better behaved than ever before.</p>
<p>Jeremy Bentham described the doctrine of “natural rights” as “nonsense on stilts.”  The dogma—and make no mistakes about it, for the anti-police misologists, this is nothing less than a dogma—that “police brutality” is an epidemic, a crisis, blah, blah, blah, is indeed nonsense on stilts.  But it is more than this: It is nonsense that kills.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/nypd2.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248045" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/nypd2-450x300.jpg" alt="nypd2" width="306" height="204" /></a>As we sit here in our homes with our families and loved ones around us, tens of thousands of children wonder if their parents will come home tonight.</p>
<p>Their fathers and mothers aren’t stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan. They’re on duty in places like Englewood in Chicago where there are <a href="http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/community/englewood">2 violent crimes for every 1,000</a> people in one month, Columbus Square in St. Louis or Bedford-Stuyvesant in New York City where two police officers were just murdered.</p>
<p>The men and women of law enforcement are on the front lines of the war at home. From the mugger on the block to the terrorist on the hijacked plane, they are the first ones there.</p>
<p>41 law enforcement officers were shot and killed in 2014. That’s in line with the number of Americans killed by hostile fire in Afghanistan. There’s a reason that Chicago has been nicknamed Chiraq. Some parts of the country are a war zone and after the latest shooting of two police officers in New York City, a statement circulating among cops states that the NYPD has become a “wartime police department.”</p>
<p>The war at home has been going on for a long time and by some accounts has claimed the lives of 20,000 law enforcement officers. Since 2001, more than 700 officers have been killed by gunfire. During the Gulf War, more officers were killed on the streets of American cities than in combat against Saddam.</p>
<p>Even as the murders of NYPD cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu fill the news, <a href="http://www.odmp.org/officer/22311-police-officer-charles-kondek">Officer Charlie Kondek has been shot</a> while pursuing a suspect in Tarpon Springs, Florida.</p>
<p>Officer Kondek had been a former member of the NYPD. He leaves behind five children. His killer, Marco Antonio Parilla Jr, had been repeatedly arrested for the possession and sale of cocaine before being released just this August. Officer Kondek and his children paid the ultimate price for his release.</p>
<p>All three police officers were casualties in the war against human evil that never ends. It’s an even dirtier and more unglamorous war than Iraq or Afghanistan. And police officers are hated in a way that it’s still socially unacceptable to hate soldiers. Ramos and Liu were the latest casualties of that hatred.</p>
<p>The police officer is the handyman of the welfare state. His job is to put his life on the line to plug the social leaks that the sociologists, consultants and social planners who made this mess had not foreseen. It’s his job to be there for a domestic violence complaint in a Florida motel at two in the morning or a failure of multiculturalism between two warring gangs in Oakland. He goes to places that the politicians don’t like to think about and deals with issues that the welfare state created and walked away from.</p>
<p>Progressives don’t believe in evil. It’s the beat cop who has to believe in it and clean it up.</p>
<p>The planners and politicians who allocate funds for new housing projects don’t have to patrol them at night. They don’t have to walk down a narrow concrete block hallway lined with dirty doors any of which can open at any minute with a gun behind it. The drug sentencing reformers have never had to carry a deranged screaming figure through the rusting doors of an emergency room. They have never had to get their soft shoes dirty walking through puddles of blood in an alleyway.</p>
<p>When liberalism fails, it’s the cop who gets the call. And when he does get the call, it’s the liberals who will be the first to call for his head.</p>
<p>It’s not enough that the cop has to clean up for the welfare state. He also has to be its scapegoat.</p>
<p>The chants of “Black lives matter” aren’t aimed at the gangs and drug dealers who rack up an astronomical number of black deaths; it’s aimed at the cops who put their lives on the line saving black lives. It’s the very people whose messes they clean up who hate them the most.</p>
<p>The police officer has come to embody America, abroad and at home, the nation that risks its lives to free peoples only to be despised for it, the nation that extends every benefit and privilege to its own criminals only to be shot and stabbed, raped and robbed for its endless generosity.</p>
<p>The American police officer was never supposed to be venturing into neighborhoods where no one speaks English and the locals see him as a member of an occupying army or patrolling in communities where gang members number in the thousands and could take down the entire local police force.</p>
<p>He was never supposed to be a social worker, a mediator, a medic and the commander of an invading army negotiating truces and treaties with the local tribes. And yet he is expected to be all these things and more. Every time he goes out he knows that he may face a choice between his life and his career.</p>
<p>If cops seem touchy, isolated or out of control it’s because they have been left hanging by a system that uses them to dam up the breakdown of a society without ever acknowledging that this is their job. Many urban police officers operate in environments where crime is not an aberration, but the norm. Like the American soldier, the police officer is better trained and more effective than ever before, but like the soldier he is also haunted by the sense that his work and his sacrifices are futile and unappreciated.</p>
<p>The police officer isn’t spending years in Iraq or Afghanistan; he’s spending decades in Chiraq. When his time ends, there will be no victory parades. Just the knowledge that he tried to make a difference and that unlike many brother officers, at least he made it to retirement.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/remembering-daryl-pierson/228970">Officer Daryl Pierson was shot</a> and killed leaving behind a wife and two young children. Pierson had been an experienced officer. His killer, Thomas Johnson III, had been paroled after serving three years for an attempted armed robbery.</p>
<p>Officer Justin Winebrenner tried to get Kenan Ivery to leave a bar. Ivery drew a gun and shot and killed him. Officer Winebrenner was a second generation police officer. He left behind a 4-year-old daughter.</p>
<p>Officer Perry Renn responded to shots being fired and encountered Major Davis Jr. who was carrying a semi-automatic rifle. Davis Jr. had an extensive criminal record. He fired killing Officer Renn who had survived twenty-two years on the force.</p>
<p>Patrolman Jeffery Westerfield responded to a fight between Carl Le&#8217;Ellis Blount Jr. and his girlfriend. He never even got a chance to draw his gun or leave his squad car before Blount shot him in the head.</p>
<p>Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was off duty when he saw a gold Lexus crash into a ditch. He approached the vehicle and was shot and killed. The two men inside, Quintylan Richard and Baylon Taylor, stole his truck and took off.</p>
<p>The police officers in all these cases were white. Their killers were black. But the police officers in many of these cases were trying to protect black people and black communities.</p>
<p>The killings all took place in a matter of months in 2014. And their numbers will only continue to grow.</p>
<p>While the wars abroad expand or contract, this is the war that will go on. Its soldiers will serve their tours of duty for decades on the streets of our own cities without having anywhere else to go home to. And when their time is up, they will never receive the thanks that they deserve because most of us will never understand the difference that they made.</p>
<p>When the left took over, it was the police officer who kept everything from going under in our major cities. It was not the politician or the planner, the sociologist or the social worker who kept the crime and chaos from sweeping everything away. It was the man in blue who did what had to be done.</p>
<p>Under Obama, when the criminal is king and the progressive planners are changing the country in ways unprecedented since the seventies, it’s still the lonely figure in the squad car that does his duty and holds the line in a thousand dark and dirty neighborhoods where gunshots and screams sound in the night. The American police officer has become the soldier of civilization fighting to keep it alive.</p>
<p>And somewhere a family wonders if their father or mother will come home tonight.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="field-body">
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/brandeis.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248166" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/brandeis-450x253.jpg" alt="brandeis" width="297" height="167" /></a><strong>Reprinted from <a href="www.truthrevolt.org">TruthRevolt.org.</a></strong></p>
<p>Pro-Israel student activist and TruthRevolt contributor Daniel Mael has come under fire from campus progressives and fellow students for writing about a Brandeis student representative’s tweet declaring that she had “no sympathy” for the two NYPD officers murdered in Brooklyn Saturday. Since the story went viral, Mael has become the target of personal threats and a campaign to see him suspended or expelled from the school.</p>
<p>In his <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/student-leader-no-sympathy-executed-nypd-officers">piece</a> Saturday, Mael quoted multiple Twitter posts by Khadijah Lynch, at the time the Undergraduate Department Representative for Brandeis’ African and Afro-American Studies program, which expressed her lack of “sympathy” for the two police officers murdered earlier that day. &#8220;i have no sympathy for the nypd officers who were murdered today,&#8221; she wrote Saturday, followed by &#8220;lmao, all i just really dont have sympathy for the cops who were shot. i hate this racist fucking country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mael followed the quotes with other inflammatory statements posted by Lynch, including posts asking “what the fuck even IS ‘non-violence’,” decrying “Zionism,” declaring “the fact that black people have not burned this country down is beyond me” and “I am in riot mode.”</p>
<p>TruthRevolt contacted Lynch for clarification about her statement about the NYPD officers; she responded by saying that any publication of her Twitter posts was “slander.” Mael reported that Lynch then returned to Twitter to say that she needed to “get my gun license. Asap.” and that “amerikkka needs an infitada” (a violent uprising).</p>
<p>This is the second time in recent weeks that TruthRevolt has been accused by left-wing activists of defamation for simply quoting them. The abortion activist and actress Lena Dunham went so far as to serve this publication with a <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/commentary/lena-dunham-threatens-sue-truth-revolt-quoting-her">cease and desist </a>for reporting statement made in her own book.</p>
<p>When Mael’s article went viral, Brandeis officials distanced the school from Lynch’s comments, calling them “<a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/DanielMael/status/547079015916642304" rel="nofollow">hurtful and disrespectful</a>,” and African and Afro-American Studies Department Chair Chad Williams issued a <a class="external" href="http://www.brandeis.edu/departments/afroamerstudies/docs/AAASstatementKhadijahLynch.pdf" rel="nofollow">statement</a> announcing Lynch’s resignation from her position as student representative for the program. Williams also denounced online criticism of Lynch, which he described as “horrifically racist, sexist, Islamophobic and threatening physical violence.”</p>
<p>Now Brandeis students supportive of Lynch are attempting to start a movement to have Mael either suspended or expelled.</p>
<p>The Daily Caller <a class="external" href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/12/23/brandeis-students-rally-around-peer-with-no-sympathy-for-dead-cops/" rel="nofollow">reports</a> that a member of the 2014-15 student conduct board sent an email Monday to the Brandeis president, senior administrators, professors, and students calling on them to &#8220;stand up for the principle of social justice&#8221; and hold Mael “accountable.” Entitled “VERY IMPORTANT: Holding Daniel Mael accountable, and other threats to student safety!” the email charges Mael with “expos[ing] Khadijah to the largely white supremacist following of the website” and claims that he has “potentially” violated student conduct policies. (Full text of email below.)</p>
<p>Due to the threatening nature of much of the pushback, Brandeis law enforcement officials have met with Mael to discuss his safety on campus. WFB <a class="external" href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/brandeis-pro-israel-leader-under-threat-by-progressive-activists/" rel="nofollow">reported</a> Tuesday that Brandeis officials told them that they were “in touch” with campus law enforcement who was working to address threats against those on campus but could provide no further details due to student privacy and security policies.</p>
<p>As of the time of publication, the administration at Brandeis has made no public statement in support of Mr. Mael&#8217;s first amendment rights or, as with the statement from Department Chair Chad Williams, denouncing the racist and sometimes violent statements being made by actual Brandeis students against him.</p>
<p>Text of email from Brandeis student conduct board member:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Subject:</em></strong><em> <strong>VERY IMPORTANT: Holding Daniel Mael accountable, and other threats to student safety!</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Hello to all,</em></p>
<p>This email is similar, but not identical, to one that had been sent out previously today. The first was to call attention to the issue, whereas this one is a request from many members of the Brandeis community that the student responsible for the incident be held accountable for his actions. We apologize for any redundancy.</p>
<p>As you may have been made aware, the safety of one member of the Brandeis community, Khadijah Lynch, has been compromised by the actions of another Brandeis student, Daniel Mael. Those of us within the Brandeis community who value the safety and integrity of all members of our community are requesting that action is taken to hold this student accountable for his actions, which have directly put Khadijah in danger and continue to do so.</p>
<p>Mael, a regular contributor on a website called &#8220;TruthRevolt&#8221;, a popular conservative-oriented political website designed, according to its mission statement, to &#8220;unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American public, and devastate their funding bases,&#8221; wrote an article targeting Khadijah for a series of tweets she made on her own personal Twitter over the last month. In doing so, he posted a photo of her as well as information about her as a student as well as giving people access to her Twitter username. The article can be seen here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/student-leader-no-sympathy-executed-nypd-officers" target="_blank">http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/student-leader-no-sympathy-executed-nypd-officers</a></p>
<p>Whether one agrees or not with the very blunt comments Khadijah made on her Twitter account, the audience of these postings was originally those who frequented her Twitter. We do not propose to offer any opinion on the posts themselves, but it is important to note the sequence of events and intended audiences. After having posted the aforementioned article, Mael has exposed Khadijah to the largely white supremacist following of the website on which he posts, which has led to harassment, death threats, rape threats, and excessive hate speech directed to her personal Twitter (now private), Facebook (now deactivated), and Linkedin. People who frequent TruthRevolt have also gained access to Khadijah&#8217;s personal email address and her Brandeis mailbox number, and have threatened to contact her persistently. We have taken screenshots of some of these threatening comments and have attached them to this email, although more will likely be posted after this has been sent.</p>
<p>As can be seen in the article itself, Khadijah specifically requested that her personal comments be removed from the website and the article in question taken down, but her wishes were ignored and Mael continued to post updates to the article until Khadijah made her Twitter private.</p>
<p><strong><em>In doing so, he has potentially violated multiple parts of Section 2.10, particularly 2.10.f of Rights and Responsibilities, and we have screenshot and uploaded as an attachment the relevant portion. It is essential that this be taken into consideration. Other sections potentially violated are 3.2a (stalking), and attention may also be warranted about Section 17, 20, and 21.4. </em></strong></p>
<p><em>A Facebook page has also been made on which hate speech, directed toward Khadijah herself as well as a plethora of racist comments, have been made, and there has been word that professional hackers may have now stated plans to target specific members of the Brandeis community. The safety of the Brandeis community has been placed in jeopardy also by another student named Ben Vizlakh, who posted an article to this Facebook page telling its members that this email was going to be sent out, mentioning one student by name (a screenshot of his post has been attached here). <strong>Vizakh has potentialy violated 2.13 (retaliation) with regard to spreading the word of this email to people who pose a threat to the safety of Brandeis students. </strong>Here is the relevant Facebook link:</em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/340022509539521/?pnref=story" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/340022509539521/?pnref=story</a></p>
<p><em>Upon Khadijah&#8217;s resignation as a UDR, Mael also posted the following, which did little more than to spur more negative comments about her (including another rape threat) as well as Brandeis University and its faculty:</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/student-leader-resigns-after-stating-she-has-no-sympathy-murdered-cops" target="_blank">http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/student-leader-resigns-after-stating-she-has-no-sympathy-murdered-cops</a></p>
<p><em>Additionally, if you go to Google and type &#8220;Khadijah Lynch Brandeis&#8221; this story has been reposted all over the Internet, with similar hateful comments and threats directed toward her. Not only does the posting of this article put Khadijah in danger, but also the Brandeis community at large, given the volume of hateful messages being posted about the school on social media by strangers.</em></p>
<p>The most pressing concern ought to be the safety of our students, and as such we request that action is taken to ensure Khadijah&#8217;s safety. A large part of this involves holding the student responsible who callously disregarded her safety. With the speed at which information is spread digitally these days and the fact that her personal information has been compromised and is in the hands of strangers, it is essential that action is taken. As students and community members who know Khadijah personally, we neither condone nor condemn the statements she had made, but we must understand the intent with which her posts and personal information were made accessible by a fellow Brandeis student to the general public, especially on a website frequented by white supremacists that seek to threaten and intimidate anyone with views that differ from their own. It is unfathomable to many within the Brandeis community that such an action could have been carried out with anything but malicious intent, as contributors to websites are perfectly aware of the following their websites receive. As a journalist, he must be aware of the impact that publishing such articles could have on other people&#8217;s safety, and it is important that he be held accountable for his actions.</p>
<p>Included in this email are students within the Brandeis community who stand in solidarity with Khadijah in this difficult time and who wish to see action taken to hold the student in question responsible and to protect her safety. As Chad Williams, Chair of the African and Afro-American Studies Department mentioned in his statement on this situation, &#8220;While it may be easy and convenient at this emotionally charged moment to condemn Ms. Lynch, we must also strive to understand why she would make these comments. This means openly and honestly recognizing the very real pain and frustration that many young people of color struggle with in trying to navigate their place in a society that all too often delegitimizes their existence.&#8221; While Khadijah has taken responsibility for her comments and has withdrawn from her position as a UDR, it is the responsibility of our community to condemn the threatening and hateful comments she has received and stand up for the principle of social justice on which Brandeis was founded.</p>
<p><em>Thank you so much for your time and we hope that you have a Happy Holiday!<br />
Best wishes,<br />
The Brandeis Community </em></p></blockquote>

<p>This is what a city whose radical left-wing mayor is at war with the police looks like. While Bill de Blasio/Wilhelm tried to put on a show of concern after the murder of two cops by a Black Muslim as &#8220;revenge for Garner&#8221;, the cops weren&#8217;t buying it.</p>
<p>De Blasio had turned his administration over to Sharpton. He had backed the racist Brown/Garner protests that terrorized New Yorkers and many other people in this country.</p>
<p>And the police<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2882169/Bill-Blasio-charged-murder-Hundreds-attack-New-York-City-Mayor-having-blood-hands-two-police-officers-ambushed-killed.html"> who put their lives on the line</a> protecting New Yorkers from his voting base of thugs, criminals and junkies<a href="http://pix11.com/2014/12/20/video-nypd-officers-turn-away-from-mayor-de-blasio-as-he-enters-police-presser/"> gave him their answe</a>r.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/deblasio-time2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-247815" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/deblasio-time2-350x350.jpg" alt="deblasio time2" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Thi<a href="http://nypost.com/2014/12/19/de-blasio-thinks-hes-running-a-f-king-revolution-pba-chief/">s is getting ugly and getting ugly fast</a>. Even relations with Dinkins didn&#8217;t go down this fast.</p>
<p>Walking past cops working an area where Garner/Brown marchers would be going through, I overheard conversations about New York&#8217;s new leftist mayor and I doubt there were two words in a dozen of them that I could print.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mayor Bill de Blasio acts more like the leader of “a f- -king revolution” than a city, police union president Pat Lynch said at a recent delegate meeting.</p>
<p>“He is not running the City of New York. He thinks he’s running a f- -king revolution,” said Lynch, head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, during the private gathering in Queens last Friday.</p>
<p>Lynch, who was secretly recorded, also all but ordered a rule-book slowdown, according to the seven-minute tape obtained by Capital New York.</p>
<p>“If we won’t get support when we do our jobs . . . then we’re going to do it the way they want it,” Lynch said. “Let me be perfectly clear: We will use extreme discretion in every encounter.”</p>
<p>Lynch, when referring to de Blasio, encouraged members to be wary of what he called “enemies.” “Our friends, we’re courteous to them. Our enemies, extreme discretion,” he said. “The rules are made by them to hurt you. Well, now we’ll use those rules to protect us.</p></blockquote>
<p>Before De Blasio won, <a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2013/11/its-de-blasio-time.html">I told privileged lefties who had forgotten what the city was like </a>before Giuliani what was going to be coming their way. The Village Voice attacked me for writing it and accused me of being vindictive.</p>
<blockquote><p>No more fascist cops hassling &#8220;innocent&#8221; people. Bill de Blasio won&#8217;t put up with any of that. De Blasio will put the cops in their place, inside a Dunkin Donuts and away from people. They&#8217;ll still get paid. They&#8217;re in a union. They just won&#8217;t lift a finger to help you because they&#8217;ll have more special monitors and civilian complaint review boards on their necks than they can handle.</p>
<p>And next time one of the innocent victims of Stop and Frisk is pounding your face into the sidewalk with one hand while digging through your pockets with the other, wave to the pair of beat cops sitting in the window of the coffee shop. And they&#8217;ll wave back without getting up. Because you voted for this. And you&#8217;re getting what you deserve.</p></blockquote>
<p>There you go. Enjoy your extreme discretion.</p>

<p>The mobs of racist Garner/Brown protesters are being falsely described as peaceful by their PR corps in the media. The<a href="http://nypost.com/2014/12/14/nypd-lieutenants-attacked-during-peaceful-protest/"> reality is ugly and brutal</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>NYPD officers were swarmed by protesters in a knock-down, drag-out brawl on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night that sent two police lieutenants to the hospital.</p>
<p>The president of the NYPD Hispanic Society on Sunday demanded that Mayor de Blasio and the City Council “denounce these disgraceful protests calling for dead police officers.</p>
<p>“Many elected officials are quick to speak out against police officers, but now that we need them to calm our city, where is their press conference on the steps of City Hall?” said the leader, Dennis Gonzalez. “Their silence is deafening. Tweets about non-violence and peaceful protests aren’t good enough.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Instead Bill de Blasio continued supporting the racist Garner mobs.</p>
<blockquote><p>De Blasio released a statement Saturday in which he first talked about how “peaceful” city protesters have been.</p>
<p>“The people of New York have provided an example to the world on how to protest, march and express themselves in a peaceful and respectful manner,” the mayor said.</p></blockquote>
<p>They&#8217;re not the &#8220;people of New York&#8221; and their only example, like De Blasio&#8217;s example, is in how to racially divide a city, spread hate and hurt people.</p>
<blockquote><p>“[The officers] were punched by numerous people,” said Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counter Terrorism John lMiller. “They were kicked in their face and in the head while the group attempted to steal their portable radios and tear away their police identification jackets.”</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/article-cop4-1023.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-243688" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/article-cop4-1023-246x350.jpg" alt="article-cop4-1023" width="246" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Four NYPD rookie cops and an innocent bystander got a close-up encounter with Zale H. Thompson&#8217;s answer to that question.</p>
<p>Commenting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=pA5CExFcTP4&amp;lc=6oB6OnCVZGQmZla5LZk6bb9DFcIYTqmQHb-a8_Tv6CU">on a Caliphate Youtube video titled</a>, &#8220;UPRISE OF THE KHILAFAH WORLD WIDE&#8221;, Zale Thompson (Muslim name unknown) responded to a man complaining about the insanity of ISIS beheadings and general bloodshed.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Zale Thompson Sep 13, 2014</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for &#8220;perfect&#8221; muslims who never make any mistakes in their Jihad, then you will be looking in vain! If the Zionists and the Crusaders had never invaded and colonized the Islamic lands after WW1, then there would be no need for Jihad! Which is better, to sit around and do nothing, or to Jihad fisabeelallah!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>That was two days after the most recent anniversary of September. The Arabic word means &#8220;In the Cause of Allah&#8221;.</p>
<p>Zale&#8217;s YouTube playlist was full of racist Malcolm X videos and in another YouTube comment he made racist remarks about white people, writing that white people had invaded the rest of the world.</p>
<p>So in addition to the Jihadism, Thompson was also a racist.</p>
<p>His Facebook page profile picture is that a Moorish warrior. His background image is the opening of the Koran which begins with &#8220;In the name of Allah&#8221; and concludes by cursing Jews and Christians with, &#8220;The path of those whom Thou hast favored; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bill-de-blasio.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-240715" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bill-de-blasio-444x350.jpg" alt="bill-de-blasio" width="444" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>The selection of Red Bill de Blasio by the media had serious consequences not only for New York, where crime has sharply gone up due to his pro-criminal policies,  but for the country, because the NYPD was the nation&#8217;s firewall with an intel unit and reach that rivaled the FBI.</p>
<p>New York City was ground zero for terrorism and counter-terrorism. Now<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/news/217628-de-blasio-under-fire-amid-new-threat-from-isis"> it&#8217;s just ground zero for terrorism</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is coming under sharp criticism for making decisions that may have undermined the effectiveness of his police department’s counter-terrorism operations.</p>
<p>Thirteen years after the 9/11 attacks on Manhattan, prominent security experts say de Blasio has made fighting terrorism a lower priority in order to appease the communities that helped elect him.</p>
<p>“A classic case of taking your eye off the ball at the worst possible time is Mayor de Blasio in New York,” said John Lehman, a former member of the 9/11 Commission.</p>
<p>He said de Blasio is failing to take seriously enough the new threat posed to New York and other major American cities by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which has reportedly trained dozens of American jihadists.</p>
<p>“At the very time when the threat suddenly emerges in a whole new additional form focused on the U.S., he decides to end some of the most effective programs in the country in the NYPD counterterrorism unit,” Lehman said.</p>
<p>“He has reassigned people and vehicles and special equipment to non-counterterrorist activities,” he added.</p>
<p>The liberal Democratic mayor has come under fire for several controversial decisions since succeeding Michael Bloomberg, who created a massive counterterrorism unit during his three terms as mayor.</p>
<p>In April, de Blasio disbanded a special unit tasked with conducting surveillance of mosques and Muslim groups suspected of radical ties.</p>
<p>Michael Mukasey, who served as U.S. attorney general from 2007 to 2009, said the unit was instrumental in mapping out possible terrorist ties within Muslim communities.</p>
<p>“They weren’t simply conducting surveillance of mosques and Muslims. They were mapping communities, figuring out where someone from Lebanon or Yemen or any of the other hot spots would go if they wanted to come to this country and find refuge,” he said.</p>
<p>“At mosques that had particularly militant imams, they did have people who would tip them off to what other people were doing or saying. To the extent they’ve curtailed that, I think we’re all less safe,” he added.</p>
<p>Mukasey questioned de Blasio’s decision to replace David Cohen, a former CIA official who served as deputy police commissioner for intelligence, with John Miller, a former television journalist and FBI spokesman. Cohen, who previously served as the CIA’s director of operations, oversaw the NYPD’s surveillance of Muslim groups.</p>
<p>“He was an alumnus of the CIA and that was a distinct advantage. It was regarded as a source of suspicion by the new administration,” he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s not surprising that Bill de Blasio, who was an open sympathizer of Communist terrorists in Latin America and who campaigned with Islamic groups would wreck counterterrorism in the city the way that he wrecked the rest of local law enforcement.</p>
<p>The problem is that even if he becomes a one term mayor like his former boss David Dinkins, the damage that he did will take a while to undo.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/michael-mulgrew.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-240404" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/michael-mulgrew-450x192.jpg" alt="michael mulgrew" width="450" height="192" /></a></p>
<p>When we last met New York teachers union boss <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/ny-teachers-union-boss-im-gonna-punch-you-in-the-face-because-dis-is-de-teachers/">Michael Mulgrew he was screaming at</a> Common Core critics in Chicago, “I’m Gonna Punch You in the Face… Because Dis is De Teachers”</p>
<p>Now <a href="http://downtrend.com/robertgehl/ny-teachers-defy-their-own-union-show-support-for-nypd/">he&#8217;s screaming at actual teachers</a>. You know the kind who can read and write, who aren&#8217;t shaved baboons unable to function outside a union meeting, for lousing up his alliance with Al Sharpton.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/teachers-support-nypd.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-240405" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/teachers-support-nypd-450x300.jpg" alt="teachers-support-nypd" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The teachers’ own union, the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), supported rallies and demonstrations against the police led by Al Sharpton. Teachers were furious and showed their support for the police by wearing NYPD t-shirts to work Tuesday and Wednesday.</p>
<p>By Thursday, the UFT reacted, sending e-mails to teachers that “as public employees, one must remain objective at all times. Certain T-shirt messages may appear to be supportive, but individuals (parents, students) may see a different meaning in that message.”</p>
<p>PBA president Patrick J. Lynch responded Friday to the warnings saying the teachers public display of support for the NYPD underscored the strong bond between most teachers and police officers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mike Mulgrew needs to consider the opinions of the vast majority of his members before misusing their dues money to support anti-police issues,&#8221; Lynch said. &#8220;Besides, what could be inappropriate about showing support for the police department that protects teachers and students alike?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mulgrew fired back saying, &#8220;The Eric Garner march was a teachable moment for all New Yorkers -– but the lesson seems to have been lost on Mr. Lynch.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mayor Bill de Blasio chimed in Friday, calling the issue an &#8220;artificial controversy,&#8221; explaining that most police and teachers were on the same side.</p></blockquote>
<p>If they are, it isn&#8217;t Bill de Blasio&#8217;s side.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[New York City returns to the bad old days. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/NYPD.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239762" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/NYPD-450x337.jpg" alt="NYPD" width="320" height="240" /></a>Police nationwide are feeling unsupported by elected officials and government – and that is simply awful and terrible. Nationwide, in the great United States of America, thanks should be constant to heroic police officers who risk their lives to keep us safe.</p>
<p>In America’s biggest city, <a href="http://observer.com/author/ronn-torossian/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">New York City</span></a>, Mayor Bill de Blasio has not been supportive of the police department.  As Sergeant Ed Mullins, President of the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) of the NYPD said this week when calling for the 2016 Democratic National Convention to not come to New York City,</p>
<blockquote><p>The Mayor has provided a public platform to the loudest of the city’s anti-safety agitators, instead of giving voice to the millions of <a href="http://nypost.com/author/ronn-torossian/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">New Yorkers</span></a> who want to live and work in safety.  Why would you kowtow to demagogues who push a political agenda?  Do you really think people in the city care more about politics than quality of life?</p></blockquote>
<p>Mullins noted,</p>
<blockquote><p>The degradation of our streets is on the rise.  As reported widely in the media, shootings have increased by 13% percent citywide since last year.  At the same time, the squeegee people are reappearing on the streets, and aggressive panhandlers and con-men are populating the subways and Times Square.  Why?  Because diminished support for police officers translates directly into crime spikes and drops in quality of life.  And right now the number of cops on the streets is insufficient to address the city’s growing problems.  The NYPD is understaffed and overworked, and underpaid.  Morale among police officers is low, and there are few signs that it will get better any time soon.  Our Mayor can’t be a leader in the fight against crime without supporting his police force.</p></blockquote>
<p>While perhaps it is baffling that countless elected officials blame the police constantly, perhaps the answer as to why comes from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani who said some months ago that the lack of support for our boys in blue “comes more from this very left-wing ideology, which is an anti-police ideology.”</p>
<p>Being a police officer is a very difficult job – it has to be so much harder when people do not feel the support of elected officials and government – the very people who should be supporting law and order.</p>
<p>Mullins noted that when De Blasio “ran for office last year, he spoke of a &#8216;Tale of Two Cities.&#8217;  Indeed, the City is heading toward a very real division: one part of the city consisting of citizens who respect the rule of law, and the other led by anti-safety political opportunists and blowhards pursuing a personal and political agenda.” People want safety – not politics.</p>
<p>Police officers wake up, do their jobs and go home to their families.  Nothing is perfect in anyone’s life – or profession – and unfortunately in law enforcement mistakes happen.  That doesn’t mean that elected officials can throw the baby out with the bathwater. Police officers remain committed to enforcing the law and improving the quality of life of Americans nationwide.</p>
<p>As a <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/author/ronn-torossian/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">native New Yorker</span></a>, I remember a different city.  There was crime, violence,  squeegee men and drug pushers on every corner. New York needs strong law and order in this concrete jungle which I love so much. Police officers remain committed to making cities safe – and elected officials must stand side by side with them.  Supporting the police department should not be a political decision.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/muslim-flier-580x773.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-237663" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/muslim-flier-580x773-262x350.jpg" alt="muslim-flier-580x773" width="262" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Freedom of speech? I&#8217;m sorry, <a href="http://vladtepesblog.com/2014/07/31/the-geopolitics-of-islam-moving-faster-than-expected-links-post-1-for-july-31-2014/">we don&#8217;t have that anymore</a>. It&#8217;s Bill de Blasio time. It&#8217;s Obama time.<a href="http://www.bensonhurstbean.com/2014/07/hate-crime-cops-investigating-anti-muslim-fliers-distributed-bath-beach-apartment-building/"> It&#8217;s Jihad time</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The NYPD’s Hate Crimes unit is looking to identify the person who distributed anti-Muslim fliers in at least one of the Shore Haven apartment buildings near Cropsey Avenue and 21st Avenue in Bath Beach, according to Councilman Mark Treyger’s office.</p>
<p>The fliers were found throughout the building this week, showing a hateful message calling Muslims “the second holocaust” and claims “USA hates you”. There is what appears to be a woman in a burka inside a “No” symbol, and there is also an abundance of exclamation points.</p></blockquote>
<p>Actually the flyer mentions Islamists. Have we outlawed that too? Apparently we have. Just like ISIS did.</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am disgusted and saddened to hear of this hateful act in our community. There is absolutely no place for this type of hatred, especially in a city and borough as diverse and tolerant as ours. My thanks to the 62nd Precinct for their quick response and thorough investigation of this heinous act,” said Treyger in a statement. “I will continue to work closely with the NYPD and entire community so those responsible for spreading hate will held accountable and I urge anyone with information to come forward. It is my belief that an act of hate against one group is an act of hate against our entire community. The bottom line is there is no room in this day and age for these attacks against any member of our community.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Is a flyer an act of hate now? I guess it is.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s a little thought experiment. Imagine that the flyer read &#8220;Zionists Go To Your Country!!! USA Hates You!!! You are Terrorists and Bastards!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Would there be a hate crimes investigation?</p>
<p>In the unlikely event that there was, how many seconds would it take before the ACLU&#8217;s lawyers showed up in a fire truck to defend whoever did it while the New York Times wrote an angry editorial warning that we were silencing dissent.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s different about this except Muslim Privilege?</p>

<p>Bill Bratton has destroyed his reputation in a short amount of time by becoming a mouthpiece for Bill de Blasio. Taking the job was a poor idea since crime rates had dropped so low that they were bound to rebound, especially under a pro-criminal mayor like De Blasio. All that Bratton had done is set himself up to take the blame and join the ranks of failed NYPD commissioners like Lee Brown who did what a liberal mayor wanted instead of fighting crime.</p>
<p>So now it&#8217;s<a href="http://halalporkshop.blogspot.com/2014/06/nypd-commissioner-promises-to-protect.html"> time to pander to Islam</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Police Commission William Bratton promised Wednesday at a pre-Ramadan conference at NYPD headquarters in Manhattan to protect the rights of the city’s Muslims.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have my pledge as commissioner we will not to jeopardize that trust that all our efforts are geared toward increasing,” Bratton said to dozens of Muslim leaders at 1 Police Plaza. “You also have my pledge that we will continue to ensure policing is lawful, constitutional, effective and respectful.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Terrorism here we come.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bratton touted that the department now boasts 1,000 NYPD employees — cops and citizens — who identify themselves as Muslim. A video showcasing the Muslim employees was presented to the crowd of about 150 police officers and community members.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s around 2 percent. I wonder how many Muslims took the jobs of cops murdered by Muslims on September 11.</p>
<p>But at least the next terrorist attack will have the inside track.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bratton, who scrapped a plan to create a detailed map of the Los Angeles Muslim community when he was that city’s top cop, assured the audience that police were interested in working with the leaders.</p>
<p>Bratton also discussed security during the month-long Ramadan holiday that begins June 28, saying that the department would add more foot patrols and cars to certain areas around mosques.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s like adding more security to an insane asylum on Halloween. There is a serious problem of Muslims trying to bomb synagogues. There isn&#8217;t a serious problem of non-Muslims trying to bomb mosques.</p>
<blockquote><p>He explained that the NYPD would be distributing a detailed guide to help officers understand Ramadan and the pillars of Islam.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a fun fact about Ramadan. Every <a href="http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2002/ss_terrorism_11_06.html">year Muslims mark the </a>occasion by bombing churches <a href="http://pamelageller.com/2013/07/ramadan-bombathon-devout-muslims-bomb-churchesin-kano-nigeria-killing-45-people.html/">and killing Christians</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cardillo20n-1-39b-web.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-223789" alt="cardillo20n-1-39b-web" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cardillo20n-1-39b-web-450x350.jpg" width="450" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t think of any clearer signal that Bill Bratton has abandoned police work <a href="http://halalporkshop.blogspot.fr/2014/04/despite-thousands-signing.html">to be Bill de Blasio&#8217;s puppet</a>. Right down to picking Muslims over cops.</p>
<p>Again.</p>
<blockquote><p>A plan to honor a Harlem cop killed by Nation of Islam radicals is drowning under a flood of racial tensions created more than four decades ago, but no one wants to throw it a lifeline — not even the NYPD’s new top cop.</p>
<p>Police Commissioner Bill Bratton is distancing himself from the controversial push to get the street in front of the 28th Precinct renamed in honor of Officer Phillip Cardillo, who was shot and killed inside a mosque run by Louis Farrakhan in 1972 — noting that the community should make the final decision.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Police Commissioner always welcomes the honoring and memorializing of fallen NYPD officers,” Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis, the NYPD’s top spokesman, said when asked if Bratton favored the street renaming. “However, the issue of street naming is primarily a decision for the community board and other local leaders.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cardillo’s family, friends, and former police officers marked the 42nd anniversary of the cop’s death with an annual motorcycle ride from his grave at Calvary Cemetery in Queens to the W. 123rd St. cop shop — and were not shy about lashing out against how Bratton sidestepped the issue.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a good representation of his brotherhood of blue,” said Christopher Cardillo, 46, the fallen cop’s first cousin. “Why should the community’s vote have such a strong presence when we are talking about renaming a street outside a police station for a police officer? How could that be a bad thing for the community?”</p>
<p>Manhattan’s Community Board 10 hasn’t reviewed the proposal since last May, even though advocates pushing for the renaming handed over thousands of petition signatures and Inspector Rodney Harrison, the former commanding officer of the 28th Precinct, made a personal plea to honor Cardillo.</p>
<p>Before the issue was shelved, board members voiced concerns that the street renaming would displease local Muslims and “open old wounds.</p></blockquote>
<p>And we mustn&#8217;t offend Muslims. Or they might shoot a cop.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bill-de-blasio.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-223598" alt="bill-de-blasio" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bill-de-blasio-444x350.jpg" width="444" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>I predicted this would happen and it&#8217;s just the beginning. The supporter of Sandinista terrorists will not stop until he has dismantled every NYPD anti-terror measure. If a terrorist attack happens after this, the blood of those who are killed <a href="http://nypost.com/2014/04/16/bratton-takes-big-risk-in-ending-muslim-surveillance/">will be on the hands of Bill de Blasio and his supporters</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The NYPD has disbanded the former Demographics Unit, which had been a main cog of the aggressive anti-terror strategy put in place by former NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly, city officials said Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Our administration has promised the people of New York a police force that keeps our city safe, but that is also respectful and fair,” Mayor de Blasio said.</p>
<p>“This reform is a critical step forward in easing tensions between the police and the communities they serve, so that our cops and our citizens can help one another go after the real bad guys.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The real bad guys are now in City Hall. It&#8217;s not a reform, it&#8217;s turning a blind eye to terror.</p>
<p>The NYPD had one of the most effective anti-terrorist operations that Muslims and the left were desperate to dismantle. With Bill de Blasio, they are getting their murderous wish.</p>
<blockquote><p>What a day to announce that the NYPD is retreating from its so-called Muslim surveillance — on the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing.</p>
<p>It turned out that the Boston terrorists still had six bombs with them and were headed for New York. They fled first to Cambridge, where they killed an MIT police officer and hijacked a car. They were halted by the local police in Watertown. But what might have happened had they reached our city? Would we know how to find them? And where would we look?</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Word that the surveillance would end, The New York Times reported, was conveyed at a meeting last week between Bratton and several advocates for the Muslim community.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>When terrorists are overwhelmingly Muslim, it’s not biased for the NYPD to familiarize itself with Muslim communities so it has a better chance of tracking down known terrorists who’ve come here.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the left, in defiance of all facts and reason, there is no such thing as Muslim terrorism. Just terrorists who happen to be Muslim.</p>
<p>And if the next Boston Marathon bombing happens here, they&#8217;ll lie about it too.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[De Blasio is bringing back Bratton... who was Giuliani's police commissioner]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/120613bratton.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-213216" alt="120613bratton" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/120613bratton-450x300.jpg" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>After Theodore Roosevelt was the New York City police commissioner back in the 1890s and began walking the beat and yelling at corrupt cops, the role of commissioner hasn&#8217;t mattered all that much.</p>
<p>Take Ray Kelly, the man shoved out the door by Bill de Blasio as a dirty racist and fascist. But Kelly and Bill de Blasio both worked for the Dinkins administration and its &#8220;Have fun, commit crimes&#8221; policy.</p>
<p>Now Bill de Blasio is bringing back Bill Bratton&#8230; who was Giuliani&#8217;s police commissioner. Lefties are already blasting Bill de Blasio for all the usuals. But they&#8217;re wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, Bill Bratton has a pretty solid record. A bit more solid than Ray Kelly had. But it doesn&#8217;t really matter. Both men are pros and competent. They&#8217;ve both done time in hard core urban areas and they are up to code with the new computerized police tactics. You could easily swap a bunch of other people in their place. The crime stats would go up or down a little, but any number of reasonably competent appointees could hold the line.</p>
<p>What really matters is the will at the top. Giuliani embraced aggressive crimefighting. Bill de Blasio campaigned to end Stop and Frisk and mosque surveillance. Bringing in Bill Bratton is the lipstick on a pig. It&#8217;s meant to counter critics by wielding a Giuliani vet to defend stupid policies&#8230; which Bratton is on record as opposing. And it&#8217;s meant to avoid a complete meltdown by having a pro at the top of the department.</p>
<p>De Blasio and Bratton bulletproof each other against criticism.</p>
<p>I doubt this is a long-term relationship. Bill Bratton gets some liberal cred. And Bill de Blasio gets Bratton to cover for him. And then after a few years, Bratton takes a job in another city and De Blasio slots in someone he really wanted for this job. Meanwhile he will have found ways to begin really remaking the NYPD from a crime fighting organization to a social service organization with orders to avoid making arrests.</p>
<p>Bratton is competent enough, but being a police commissioner, like being a general, is a political gig. You don&#8217;t just do it because you care about fighting crime. You&#8217;re part of the political network. And you build your reputation by working with politicians, not by bucking them.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re not there to lead the cops. You&#8217;re there to tell them what the word from City Hall is.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about who the commish is. It&#8217;s about who the mayor is and what he stands for. Giuliani stood against crime. Bill de Blasio stands for criminals.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Reverse-engineer the information and you’ve got a how-to-strike-New York training manual. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/pamela-chen-1-431x243.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-211955" alt="pamela-chen-1-431x243" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/pamela-chen-1-431x243.jpg" width="431" height="243" /></a></p>
<p>This is <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/secrets-secret-article-1.1506613">what the Daily News wrote before Obama judge</a>,  Pamela Chen ruled for the terrorists.</p>
<blockquote><p>In Brooklyn Federal Court, a group of local Muslims has asked Judge Pamela Chen to open virtually every document in the files of the NYPD Intelligence Division to inspection on the claim that the cops have singled out members of their faith for undue investigation.</p>
<p>They are on a dangerous fishing expedition that could reveal how the division goes about business while also disclosing potential investigative targets and sources of information. Reverse-engineer the information and you’ve got a how-to-strike-New York training manual. Chen must shut them down.</p>
<p>Three Muslim men and three Muslim groups have accused the NYPD of violating their constitutional rights by taking an interest in their activities based solely on religion, while showing no equivalent interest in members of different faiths.</p>
<p>Adding to the insanity, the NYPD has clearly explained why cops took an interest in the plaintiffs. For example, cops looked at individuals associated with Brooklyn’s Masjid At Taqwa mosque “based upon information about their lengthy history of suspected criminal activity, some of it terroristic in nature,” including “illegal weapons trafficking . . . allegations that the mosque ran a ‘gun club’ and allegations that the assistant imam had earmarked portions of over $200,000 raised in the mosque to a number of U.S. government-designated terrorist organizations.”</p>
<p>Opening Intelligence Division files to anyone would be foolhardy in the extreme. Chen must bar these plaintiffs from rummaging through necessarily confidential documents in a case that appears primarily aimed at achieving just that end.</p></blockquote>
<p>Except Judge Pamela Chen, an Obama appointee, <a href="https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/assets/raza_discovery_decision.pdf">did the exact opposite</a>. Which is exactly what you would expect an Obama judge to do.</p>
<blockquote><p>In order to tailor the request to specific information necessary to Plaintiffs’ claims and to minimize the potential burden on Defendants, the Court narrows the request as follows:</p>
<p>Request #4 Intelligence Division documents containing operational directives, presentations, memoranda, strategy initiatives, training procedures, and policies, concerning any of the following as a basis for, or a factor considered in, deciding to engage in Surveillance or Investigations:</p>
<p>a. Islam, its adherents, or its schools of thought, including but not limited to Salafis or Salafism;</p>
<p>b. Non-Islamic religions, their adherents, or their schools of thought with any alleged link or connection to terrorism;</p></blockquote>
<p>Chen didn&#8217;t grant all their requests, but many of those requests were unserious to begin with. They would have allowed a complete rifling of all the NYPD&#8217;s files. Many of them didn&#8217;t exist. And it&#8217;s possible that at least some of the requests were about establishing just that as a way of gauging the NYPD&#8217;s intelligence capabilities.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[“The reality is the Democratic primary is controlled by extreme elements of the party. "]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/daily-news-ray-kelly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-210811" alt="daily-news-ray-kelly" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/daily-news-ray-kelly-280x350.jpg" width="280" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not Ray Kelly&#8217;s biggest fan, but he&#8217;s obviously right. Most urban Democratic Party establishments have been taken over by the radical left.</p>
<p>It took a while for it to really sink in over in New York City, but we now have a Democratic Party where a small number of radical groups like ACORN and a bunch of loons obsessed with banning horses in Central Park can take over the primaries and elect Red Bill as the default candidate.</p>
<p>This is really an argument for either eliminating party identification on ballots in New York City or not electing Democrats until the party primaries stop being controlled by extremist groups.</p>
<blockquote><p>All-but-out-the-door NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly probably wouldn&#8217;t have stuck around even if Bill de Blasio wanted him to. “The reality is the Democratic primary is controlled by extreme elements of the party. The candidates know that, so they have to go to extremes themselves,” Kelly tells Playboy in the December issue. “They were pandering to get votes.” Asked if the candidates were “just full of shit,” Kelly responds, “Absolutely.”</p>
<p>And they acted like his buddies! “I resented it,” Kelly says of being used as a punching bag in the mayoral debates. “They’ll say or do anything to get elected. I know all these people. They all claimed to be friends of mine up until their mayoral campaigns. They’d call me on the phone and ask for information or come over here and sit in this chair to get briefed.”</p>
<p>“I’m talking about all of them,” he adds for clarity.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kelly defends his record,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Notice what they never talk about — the lives being saved,” Kelly said. “During the past 11 years we had 7,363 fewer murders than we had in the 11 years before.</p>
<p>And Kelly said the city has thwarted 16 terror attacks, including ones on the subway system, the New York Stock Exchange, Times Square and JFK Airport.</p></blockquote>
<p>But who needs good policing anyway? Bill de Blasio is reportedly considering appointing semi-lesbian Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon to a post in his administration.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nypd-1970s.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-210584" alt="nypd-1970s" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nypd-1970s-350x350.jpg" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>The De Blasio &#8220;Olly olly criminals go free&#8221; crime wave <a href="http://moonbattery.com/?p=39155">is getting an early start thanks to more</a> illegal intervention by Federal judges. A<a href="http://nypost.com/2013/11/11/anonymous-tips-not-good-enough-for-cops-judges/">nd of course they&#8217;re Clinton judges</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>A panel of Manhattan federal judges says cops must now investigate anonymous 911 calls — before they can investigate the crimes being reported.</p>
<p>The Second Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday overturned the conviction of an ex-con caught by cops carrying a gun in 2011 as two of the three judges on the panel found the anonymous tips the officers relied on didn’t offer enough “reasonable suspicion” for them to stop and search the defendant Joseph Freeman.</p>
<p>“The fact that the call was recorded and that the caller’s apparent cell phone number is known does not alter the fact that the identity of the caller is still unknown, leaving no way for the police (or for the reviewing court) to determine her credibility and reputation for honesty — one of the main reasons tips from known sources are afforded greater deference than anonymous ones,” wrote Judge Rosemary Pooler, who, along with Judge Christopher Droney, supported reversing the conviction.</p></blockquote>
<p>Speaking of credibility and honesty, Rosemary Pooler is a failed Democrat who tried to run for Congress and was finally handed a judgeship by Clinton.</p>
<p>Christopher F. Droney is another failed Dem political hack who was handed a judgeship by Clinton and a spot on the Appeals Court by Obama.</p>
<p>And together they&#8217;re taking us back in time to the 70s when soft on crime was the way to go.</p>
<p>The obvious casualties here are ordinary New Yorkers who will now get even worse police responses. And when a woman being murdered calls and is unable to properly hand over her information, cops will have trouble doing anything about it.</p>
<p>Thanks to Judge Droney and Judge Pooler&#8230; and Obama and Clinton.</p>
<blockquote><p>Judge Richard Wesley, the lone dissenter, took a more common sense approach to law enforcement, writing: “This is not a case where a stranger in a muffled voice made a call from a payphone, or where someone dropped off an anonymous note.</p></blockquote>
<p>Wesley is a Republican who was nominated by George W. Bush.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/deblasio-time31.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-209237" alt="deblasio time3" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/deblasio-time31-350x350.jpg" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In a defeat for judicial activism and Judge Shira Scheindlin &#8216;s repulsive showboating power grab, the Second Appeals Court gave her and her illegal ban on Stop and Frisk the boot.</p>
<p>The former<a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304073204579170102937970362"> is more unusual than the latter. </a></p>
<blockquote><p>The three-judge Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel said U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin gave an appearance of bias by maneuvering to get the case and giving news interviews. It put her finding that the NYPD unconstitutionally targeted minorities for street stops on hold until a city appeal is heard in March.</p>
<p>New York police have for years stopped, questioned and searched for weapons if they have reasonable cause to believe someone may be connected to a crime. Cheered on by a liberal media campaign, Judge Scheindlin declared it illegal. She also appointed a panel of liberal worthies to micromanage New York&#8217;s finest, an affront both to the police force and self-government.</p>
<p>Specifically, the court said Judge Scheindlin had &#8220;compromised&#8221; the appearance of partiality by improperly inviting a stop-and-frisk suit. In a December 21, 2007 hearing on an earlier case, Judge Scheindlin stated: &#8220;[I]f you got proof of inappropriate racial profiling in a good constitutional case, why don&#8217;t you bring a lawsuit? You can certainly mark it as related.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also stated that, &#8220;[W]hat I am trying to say, I am sure I am going to get in trouble for saying it, for $65 you can bring that lawsuit.&#8221; And she concluded by noting, &#8220;And as I said before, I would accept it as a related case, which the plaintiff has the power to designate.&#8221;</p>
<p>That point about a &#8220;related&#8221; case is crucial because it allowed Judge Scheindlin to grab the stop-and-frisk case for herself, rather than follow the district court&#8217;s established practice of assigning cases randomly to judges.</p></blockquote>
<p>Scheindlin is a Clinton judge, but so are two out of the three judges on the panel. And even they were disgusted by her abuse of power.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Second Circuit panel includes Bill Clinton appointees Jose Cabranes and Barrington Parker, as well as John Walker, a George H.W. Bush appointee. Judge Cabranes is one of the most widely respected on the appellate bench.</p></blockquote>
<p>None of this really matters in the long run if Bill de Blasio wins.</p>
<p>Bill de Blasio has already sworn to reward criminals and terrorists by crushing the NYPD and he had a predictable reaction to the verdict.</p>
<blockquote><p>Republican mayoral candidate Joe Lhota and the Bloomberg administration, which asked for the stay and has long criticized Scheindlin, saying she endangered public safety with an anti-police mindset.</p>
<p>Mayoral front-runner Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who promises to reform stop and frisk and told the appeals judges the monitor was &#8220;in the public interest,&#8221; said he was &#8220;extremely disappointed&#8221; by the ruling.</p>
<p>&#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t have to wait for reforms that both keep our communities safe and obey the Constitution,&#8221; de Blasio said. &#8220;Any delay only means a continued and unnecessary rift between our police and the people they protect.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The only rift comes from Bill de Blasio and his gang of pro-criminal leftists.</p>

But if Bill de Blasio becomes mayor, a Stop and Frisk ban will be the least of the things he will do to the NYPD.</p>
<blockquote><p>New York City as it was in the 80s will be back, complete with Chicago size crime rates, subway trains covered in graffiti and more rapes than bad plays.</p>
<p>The recent ruling to reform the New York Police Department’s controversial ‘stop-and-frisk’ tactic has already led to a sharp rise in shootings, new figures reveal.</p>
<p>In the month after the policy was ruled unconstitutional shootings spiked nearly 13 per cent while gun seizures fell almost a fifth, the figures show.</p>
<p>In the 28 days up to September 8 there were 140 shootings across the city, compared with 124 over the same period last year, according to NYPD statistics.</p>
<p>The shocking rise in gun crime has emerged days after the federal judge who ordered an overhaul of the stop-and-frisk strategy refused to delay it pending an appeal by the city.</p>
<p>U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin said such a delay would send ‘precisely the wrong signal.’</p></blockquote>
<p>The signal being that she cares more about people than about her liberal agenda. Scheindlin is a Clinton appointee so you know which way that ball is going to come up.</p>
<p>Scheindlin, like most liberals, <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/ban-on-stop-and-frisk-leads-to-murder-of-1-year-old/">doesn&#8217;t care about the black people she claims</a> to want to protect.</p>
<blockquote><p>The murder of Antiq Henis, a 1 year old boy shot in his stroller in Brownsville, Brooklyn, by an assailant in a likely act of gang violence targeting his father is exactly the kind of crime that Stop and Frisk was meant to prevent.</p>
<p>In 2010, the New York Times described 52,000 police Stop and Frisk stops being made in Brownsville.</p>
<p>Antiq Hennis was shot at Livonia Avenue and Bristol Street in in the Marcus Garvey Village project. Unfortunately by then, Stop and Frisk had already been eliminated by Judge Shira Scheindlin, better known as Judge Judy’s daughter, a liberal judge appointed by Bill Clinton.</p></blockquote>
