Otherwise, warns the LBA president, officers are merely being set up for a new slew of phony civilian complaints. The head of the Lieutenants Benevolent Association in New York has advised its members to use their “utmost discretion” in responding to fireworks complaints unless New York mayor Bill de Blasio “unequivocally commits to having our officers enforce fireworks infractions AND the District Attorneys verbally commit to processing fireworks offenses” (emphasis in original).

Officers across the country are being told to ignore low-level offenses, and urban D.A.s are refusing to prosecute public-order arrests, on the ground that Broken Windows policing is racist-until, that is, an outbreak of particularly irksome disorder becomes too widespread, as is the case with the current fireworks discharges. The New York Police Commissioner has disbanded the department’s most effective tool for getting illegal guns off the street, the plainclothes Anti-Crime Unit. Meanwhile, criminal-justice leaders themselves are surrendering.

All that is seen is police officers facing demonstrators who are camped out on the sidewalk.Īs Heather Mac Donald points out in this excellent piece in City Journal, the entire establishment appears to be surrendering. One person claimed on Twitter that the NYPD stormed the protesters’ camp “full of aggression, looking to agitate,“ as “many where serving breakfast and cleaning.” But the video doesn’t back up that claim. One cop can be seen grabbing a person’s umbrella and throwing it on the ground. Officers are shown pushing through the crowd as the protesters shove back, some using their umbrellas to block or strike cops. One wonders if city hall is seen by the political elites as expendable. The cops were undisciplined - a “police riot” as it was referred to in the official report - but the fact is, thousands of protesters were moving toward the nerve center of democracy. What they got was a phalanx of beefy Chicago cops wading into the crowd swinging their nightsticks. The protest organizers were hoping to provoke a riot by tossing rocks, stones, and bags of human feces and urine at police. Whoever did probably figured the risk of a serious confrontation outweighed anything gained by retaking control of the area directly in front of the most sensitive power center in the city.ĭuring the 1968 Democratic convention, when protesters in Chicago approached the hotel where Hubert Humphrey was staying - the nerve center of the campaign and where the Democratic National Committee was meeting - Chicago police pushed back. “Whose streets? Our streets!” roared the protesters as they filled the sidewalks.Īnother clip shows protesters mocking cops and singing, “Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye” as the officers approach the arch at 1 Centre Street.Īs was the case Tuesday, tensions came to a head when protesters became enraged as police removed barricades they had illegally set up. Radio host Dan Bongino tweeted, “We’re entering Snake Pliskin territory in New York City. NYPD leave their positions at City Hall in NYC, leaving it to Antifa and Black Lives Matter at the new CHAZ.

In this series of tweets courtesy of Shelby Talcott, the police are shown being provoked, but mostly maintaining their cool. It has delayed trials and other proceedings and left many people stranded in jail.The protesters assembled several makeshift barricades that the cops finally began to remove yesterday. In the summer of 2020, the number of pending cases in the city’s criminal courts rose to 39,200, and two years later, the backlog is far from cleared, even as cases involving guns have been expedited. New York’s courts have been slow to recover from the pandemic. ( Singing, with its heavy outflow of breath and saliva droplets, has been noted as a potential source of virus spread, with outbreaks among some choirs reported in the pandemic’s early months.)

One of those activities, according to a person with knowledge of the event, was a karaoke session, during which several judges were particularly enthusiastic. The getaway involved a number of activities for the criminal court judges association, whose members include appointed criminal court judges and those elevated to serve as acting State Supreme Court justices.
