That's terribly sad, but I get it. Stay safe CPD

It's all a ploy by the left to eliminate local and state cops and institute a federal police force. It must be stopped.

At work all the TV's are tuned into CNN. All I've seen this week is insurection, insurection, insurection. Look at these brave Capitol Police dealing with the riotous thugs, how brave, how beautiful. We need to hunt every one of these treasonous bastards down and ship them up the river.

Hey CNN, remember, the last 13 months of rioting? The 30 people killed; the billions of damages; the cops beaten, maced, lasered; the people getting attacked for the crime of eating dinner while being white?

I just want to rip one of our TVs down and scream at the hypocrites. Zero people were killed by the idiots on 1/6, not a single life lost. A few million in damages were caused, but that's less than a Tuesday night during the George Floyd Memorial Riots. You laser focus on a two hour temper tandrum, but ignore a year straight of rioting, death, and destruction. For anyone without their heads stuck in the sand the hypocrisy is obvious. Where was your worship for the police getting their asses kicked every night for a year by these rioters?

Fun Fact: There are presently 64 federal police agencies in the USA.

No bullets in their guns.

Fury as New York prosecutors DROP looting charges against HUNDREDS arrested during riots last summer - with Manhattan DA 'too busy building his case against Trump'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...arrested-summer.html

Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer.

After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday.

Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.

Business owner Jessica Betancourt, whose Bronx eyeglasses shop was destroyed last summer, vented her outrage at the situation.

'Those numbers, to be honest with you, is disgusting,' she told the NBC affiliate. 'They could do it again because they know they won't get the right punishment.'

In Manhattan, the NYPD data shows there were 485 arrests connected to last summer's riots, which saw mobs smashing stores and holding a 'looting dance party' in SoHo.

Of those cases, 222 were later dropped and 73 saw convictions for lesser counts like trespassing, which carries no jail time. Another 40 cases involved juveniles and were sent to family court, and 128 cases remain open.

In the Bronx, 118 arrests were made as mobs smashed shops along the borough's commercial corridors.

Since then, the NYPD says District Attorney Clark's office and the courts have dismissed 73 of those cases, well over half the total.

Eighteen Bronx cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts which carry no jail time.

Vance and Clark declined interview requests from WNBC, but a source close to the DA's office said that prosecutors were too overwhelmed to carry forth the looting cases, with a backlog of cases after the pandemic shut courts.

Vance's office has been busy preparing a criminal case against Donald Trump, said to center on allegations of tax, loan and insurance fraud at the Trump Organization.

The DA insider also said that in some cases, there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the looters.

NYPD investigators are privately furious that prosecutors are letting the looting cases drop, after cops spent countless hours on a task force helping assemble evidence to make the cases stick.

'If they are so overworked that they can't handle the mission that they're hired for, then maybe they should find another line of work,' former NYPD Chief of Patrol Wilbur Chapman said of prosecutors.

In an October 2020 memo obtained by WNBC, Vance said there were over 600 commercial burglary arrests in addition to over 3,500 unindicted felony cases waiting to move forward in the courts

Vance ordered his prosecutors to review defendants' criminal histories and scrutinize whether police could really prove the suspect caused 'any damage to the store' before dropping cases.

Vance wrote: 'For many of these commercial burglaries, you will be asked to reduce the initial felony charge to a misdemeanor and to dispose of the case … with an eye towards rehabilitation.'

He also stressed the 'continued goal to achieve consistency and equitable treatment in these cases.'

This country is fucked with prosecutors like this. It's only going to get worse.

I hope the corrupt DA drops all lefty rioter charges in NYC. I hope those impacted from last years madness get mad as hell. I hope more and more people with property and financial investment in NYC start to wake up and make trouble and refuse to donate politically. However, given the predilections of that electorate I am not holding my breath.

And NYC is dumping millions into a Tourism revitalization campaign?

Who the hell in their right mind would ever take their family to NYC now?

Imagine the possibilities. And here I thought meth and fentanyl were "hillbilly".

Inside industrial-made meth’s meteoric rise in NYC

A “tidal wave” of dangerous synthetic drugs is flooding New York City, with methamphetamines and fentanyl pouring over the U.S. southern border at alarming rates and quickly finding their way into local neighborhoods, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency said...

Or Baltimore, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis...

Let the liberal hellholes burn.

Been this way for a while. Remember Romney being the presidential candidate against Obama and he hid out the week before the election aiding his loss. This is what the Republicans put forth for a candidate ? It is a Uni-party. Trump clearly showed that. Add in uneducated/brainwashed public and liberal control of all media.

Portland ran a pricy full-page Sunday ad in the New York Times promoting tourism after the Portland police riot squad quit Thursday.



"We like it this way"

^^^ Really.
I've been to Portland. I saw it with my own eyes. It was a week ago. It's a shithole. Stay away.

the crime rate is low because nobody bothers to report crime any more. no point other than to get an insurance form.

but shootings (injuries and deaths) are up for what it's worth. 393 shootings reported in 2019. over 400 so far this year and it's only June.

Graffiti everywhere. Homeless everywhere. busted glass everywhere. tents everywhere. abandoned shopping carts everywhere. Garbage everywhere. boarded up buildings. closed businesses. Crazy people asking for money.

The smell is difficult to describe. It's not from the Farmer's Market.

It's not the same Portland as 10 years ago. Not by a long shot.

It seems there are people who have not actually been there, and those in the city government who want to state that it's just business as usual. It's not.

STAY THE HELL AWAY. If you are driving through on I-5, take the 205 bypass.

I last visited Portland, Oregon in 2014. I'd flown to Portland and rented a car to attend a reunion at the coast, but while in town I visited some friends (relatives of relatives). He lived on the south edge of Portland and I didn't see much of the inner city. He has since died and I have no reason to visit now.

My cruise of the Columbia River will go to Portland, and I'll fly out of the airport there to my tour of Alaska. (I suspect the tour will not visit questionable locations in Portland.)

That is the stuff of a great satirical novel.
