Steve last summer, when police officers were being attacked,
officers were being attacked
with water in New York City. Now,
law enforcement officers are
being ambushed, while in line of
duty
in new op ed. Recent tax on
police officers are a long way
from just a pail of water.
Here now is New York Assemblyman
MIKE
Good Morning
Steve. It was never about pail
of water, its about what we are
witnessing today. What are you
talking about
yeah last year? They
discounted it and said its just
water, its just water and then
the milk and then the spit and
then the bricks and then the
cocktails and whole host of
other weapons used against
police officers and high ranking
officers just last week. The
point is to restore order. The
point is to what I identify:
growing disregard for rule of
law and those in blue who swear
oath to protect it, and now you
are hearing dont arrest, the
police are told and if you do
expect them right back in the
streets, thanks so called bail,
reform and frankly, people are up
in arms. They are wondering what
the heck is happening and what
is our mayor doing in the city
and what is our governor doing
in the state? Do you want the
city to burn and state to
crumble? People are mind. Boggled
over this and prisons are being
empty,
defense, Blahsio disbanded,
Anticrime unit and what happens
consequently, shootings
skyrocket July 15th,
15 year old, shot July. Sixteen nine
shot, and just this weekend just
this weekend, Steve three people
are shot and one wounded.
I mean what do they think would
happen.
Steve no kidding
this movement started long
before Covid, 19 and George Floyd
as well.
Absolutely
I mean it was a slow trickle.
George Floyds incident was
powder for all this to occur.
You saw left wing radicals,
dehumanizing, police and going
after them and wanting to
completely disband departments
and now youre seeing that come
to fruition, and it is absolutely
disgraceful,
Steve all right, Michael. We
thank you very much for joining
us now.
Hes, a New York, assemblyman and.
