The riots in America and the attempted overthrow of the United States seem to be impacting the residents of the communities that put up with (and encourage) that shit a whole lot more than than those of us outside these anarchist-controlled cities. Target is closing 3 stores in downtown Portland alone, more closures in SF, Seattle, and NY, places where lawlessness prevails.

NYPD cops leave force in alarming rate — over 2,500 turned in badges so far in 2023

https://nypost.com/2023/11/25/...n-2023-pension-data/

New York’s Finest continue to bolt from the job at an alarming rate, according to new data obtained by The Post — and some cops worry the exodus will only get worse because the city plans to cancel the next five Police Academy classes, shrinking the nation’s largest police force to the smallest its been in decades.

A total of 2,516 NYPD cops have left so far this year, the fourth highest number in the past decade and 43% more than the 1,750 who hightailed it in 2018, before the pandemic and crime spikes hit the city, NYPD pension data show.

The number of cops quitting before they reach the 20 years required to receive their full pensions also skyrocketed from 509 in 2020 to 1,040 so far this year — an alarming 104% increase, the data show.

The years of departures and lack of replacements are now taking a toll, forcing the cops who remain on the job to work “inhumane amounts of forced overtime,” Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said.

“The workload is a leading factor driving people away from the job,” the union leader said. “If the NYPD is going to survive these staffing reductions, it cannot just keep squeezing cops for more hours.”

The union has proposed a flexible schedule that would have cops work longer hours on fewer days.

Incredibly, 21 cops walked away from the job earlier this year in just a two-day period — Feb. 20 and 21 — to join the MTA, police sources said. Even former NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell stepped down in June amid a steady stream of New York’s Finest beating her to the punch.

Officers typically work 20 years or more to collect their full pension, which can equate to 50% of their final average salary.

One police officer, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, told The Post he plans to leave the job this summer when he hits 20 years.

“I keep in contact with the guys that I was in the police academy with and we all have the same notion,” he said of his 2004 class of 2,400. “I think maybe 95% of us are planning on leaving.”

The weary officer said the workload at the whittled down NYPD is already crushing cops, and things will decline further now that the city put the kibosh on the next five Police Academy classes, as part of planned budget cuts announced by Mayor Adams on Nov. 16.

The drastic cuts will reduce the department to just 29,000 cops by the end of fiscal year 2025 — the lowest level since the mid-90s — and come amid a slew of city-wide belt tightening. The mayor has blamed the the city’s multi-billion-dollar migrant crisis.

As a 45-year-old, he said he’s having a difficult time keeping up the same punishing hours he worked when he was younger.

“We’ve been working an average of about 13 to 14 hours a day with a lot of the protests happening in the city,” he said. “Enough is enough. I’ll have maybe one day off for the week and I’m so tired from work I don’t want to do anything.”

The job is taking a similar toll on young cops.

A 28-year-old Queens cop who also asked for anonymity has four years with the NYPD said “the job is unbearable now” and he’s “looking to leave sooner than later.”

The exodus began after Minnesota cop Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020, triggering nationwide protests and calls to defund the police. Anti-cop hostility, bail reform, and rising crime have fed into frustration among the NYPD rank and file.

Assaults against NYPD cops have skyrocketed by more than 25% this year, police data obtained by The Post last month revealed.

“When you look at the number of resignations, you need to ask yourself why would the mayor even consider making cuts to hiring in the NYPD?” said Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “As the numbers continue to dwindle, things will take a dramatic turn for the worse.”

This horse shit again, and in the Post. Floyd died of fentanyl poisoning. Chauvin was railroaded.

^^^^^
The Leftards HAVE to continually stoke the fire of that devisive horse shit to keep the narrative alive, gear. Step #1 in the Onumb-nutz playbook on how to “fundamentally change the United States of America”.

Facts and truth mean NOTHING to these wastes of humanity.

NYC Career Criminal Stabs 2 Teen Girls on Christmas, Yelling ‘I Want All White People Dead’, After Repeatedly Being Released Thanks to AG Letitia James.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...te-people-dead-rant/

Career criminal Steven Hutcherson, 36, stabbed two girls aged 14 and 16 on Christmas morning, after being refused service at the Grand Central Dining Concourse in New York City. Hutcherson, who is black, declared, “I want to sit next to the crackers” after staff told him he could not occupy a table at the Tartinery café-bar without ordering anything. He soon turned his ire on the two girls and their parents, who were tourists from South America.

Returning with a knife, Hutcherson reportedly yelled, “I want all the white people dead,” before he stabbed the 16-year-old in the back, damaging her lungs. He then plunged the blade into her 14-year-old sister’s thigh. Armed transit police were on the scene in under a minute, but he avoided being shot by dropping the weapon as soon as they appeared. Both victims were hospitalized, but have since been discharged.

Hutcherson has 17 prior arrests. He was charged with showing up at a police station in July with a dagger and a switchblade and scuffling with officers. He has also been charged with causing $81,000 in damages during a rampage at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in October. He only received 15-day sentences for these crimes, however, thanks to New York’s soft-on-crime Attorney General Letitia James.

As recently as November, he was charged after threatening to shoot a man and allegedly brandishing a firearm. He was found with a knife when police apprehended him, but was let off with a conditional discharge. “They shouldn’t have let him out [of jail]. I don’t believe it,” said the victim in that case after being told about the stabbings.

Donald Trump has accused New York prosecutors of being overly focused on pursuing him through the courts for political reasons, as the Big Apple becomes increasingly lawless.

Many of them are long-time criminal defense attorneys, while prior generations of public defenders, if elected, would change hats and carry-out their job as district attorneys, many of this generation are unable to distinguish between the positions in their duties.

My younger step-son worked for the Public Defender's office for a while. He got disgusted with some of the trash that he had to defend, so he crossed the aisle and went to work as a prosecuting attorney in the DA's office.

Meanwhile in Seattle…

This has been going on for hours, Police refused to do anything other than divert traffic.

Supreme Court Deals HUGE Blow To BLM

https://newsaddicts.com/suprem..._campaign=newsletter

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court made a ruling that permits the progression of a lawsuit against a Black Lives Matter activist, which was filed by a Louisiana police officer injured during an incident in 2016.

This particular case has the potential to create obstacles for violent protesters seeking to evade accountability for causing harm to law enforcement officials.

“In declining to hear DeRay Mckesson’s appeal, the justices left in place a lower court’s decision reviving a lawsuit by the Baton Rouge police officer, John Ford, who accused him of negligence after being struck by a rock during a protest sparked by the fatal police shooting of a black man, Alton Sterling,” Reuters reported.

In 2023, Mckesson’s argument asserting his protection under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, safeguarding his rights to free speech and assembly, was dismissed by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in New Orleans. The activist was being represented by lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Reuters added:

“The Baton Rouge protest was one of numerous demonstrations in the United States in 2015 and 2016 arising from incidents involving police and Black individuals. These predated the massive racial justice protests that flared in various cities in the United States and abroad following the 2020 murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis.

“The 5th Circuit’s decision to allow Ford’s lawsuit could make it easier to sue protest leaders for the illegal conduct of an attendee – an outcome that, according to some legal scholars, could stifle activism seeking political or societal change.”

Blane Salamoni, the police officer responsible for the shooting and killing of Sterling on July 5, 2016, was promptly suspended and later terminated from his position in the Baton Rouge Police Department. Following a civil rights investigation conducted by the Justice Department, no evidence was found to support federal criminal charges, leading to the closure of the probe on May 3, 2017. The investigation revealed that Sterling, who was engaged in the illegal sale of bootleg CDs, refused to comply with the officers’ instructions and resisted arrest by engaging in a physical altercation with them.

Within seconds of the struggle commencing, another officer named Howie Lake deployed a taser on Sterling, but he managed to overcome its effects and continue resisting. During the altercation on the ground between Salamoni and Sterling, the former noticed a firearm in the suspect’s pocket and immediately alerted Lake that Sterling was attempting to reach for it, coinciding with the first shots being fired.

The DOJ report added: “Investigators later confirmed that Sterling’s gun was loaded with six bullets at the time of this exchange.”

Baton Rouge police officer “Ford was among the officers assigned to make arrests of protesters on a public highway. He was struck in the face by a rock or piece of concrete hurled by an unidentified person, losing teeth and suffering head and brain injuries, according to his lawsuit,” Reuters reported.

“Ford’s lawsuit, seeking monetary damages, argued that McKesson should have known from his actions leading the protest that it would turn violent,” the outlet reported further.
