On Friday night, Trump spoke to members of the New York City Police Benevolent Association (PBA), an organization that represents 24,000 officers, at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Trump was formally endorsed by the group. PBA President Pat Lynch said it was the first time he could recall the group ever endorsing a president. "I have 36 years on this job, 21 as the president of this fine organization. I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for Office of the President of the United States, until now. That's how important this is," Lynch said. New York Democrats said the police union’s endorsement of such a highly unpopular politician within the city was exacerbating tensions between them and the community. “NYPD union endorsed Trump. I’m sure this is part of their neighborhood outreach plan,” tweeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose district spans the Bronx and Queens. “I’m speechless. NYC is a beautifully diverse, working class, democratic city. The NYPD is clearly showing they are not interested in working with the people of our city,” tweeted Jamaal Bowman, a progressive newcomer who overthrew longtime Rep. Elliot Engel in a June primary As New York politicians cut $1 billion from the police budget among other police reforms, crime has spiked throughout the city. In July 2020, there were 244 shootings in New York, a 177 percent increase from the 88 which occurred last July. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-democrats-angered-nypd-union-endorses-trump Ok, this is historic - the NYPD has not endorsed President of either party for at least 36 years, and the first enforcement went to President Trump! There’s no question why NYPD has endorsed Trump. The question is, did not you Democrats see it coming? Will this move the needle? Dunno if it Is even relevant anymore, important as hell but relevant? President Trump has already been re-elected, Kamila or no Kamila. Deal with it, Democrats
I am sure this came as a shock to the left but anyone could have seen it coming if they didn't have their partisan blinders on.
Well the psychopathic turn the left has taken I don't know how anybody can vote for these idiots. Right now we're talking about defunding the police. What that's going to mean is people are going to defend themselves with militia. The police have someone to answer to the city. People don't want to live in an anarchy. not even anarchist teenagers who draw the little a in the circle to show how edgy they are I know I did it too when I was 15, don't want anarchy. It's because of this absolute lack of any kind of intelligence that's going to cause people to leave. I wish these people found out the scumbags running their states and cities. When covid hit New York decided to put covid-19 patients into nursing homes. Meanwhile the lemmings that voted for these morons are telling you how bad you are for not wearing a damn mask in your car.
This, and the DOE announcement of a huge energy deal, Kodak drug manufacturing too. The list goes on. America First.
If you live in NY and you vote for ANY democrat then you will get exactly what you deserve. I hear stories every day of people being harassed, and accosted, everywhere in the city, thugs are telling old people to pay them cash if they want to get from one end of the block to the other, homeless people are walking around with their dicks out, this is the 70's revisited, when Lindsay (D) was in charge. I have friends in NYC and they are trying to figure out how to get out without destroying themselves financially. They love the city, but now they hunker down after dark, afraid to go out. This is the democrat party camelot I guess. Wake up people, wake up, for the sake of your children, wake up.
We will see two groups leave. Those that can afford to Those that have had enough. Those are the last two groups you want to leave. But they won't be empty, somebody will replace them.
I'm thinking it's the Cuomo. If people leave property values drop then they can buy them up. Nobody can be this incompetent.
It's amazing. The left totally crapped on police all over the country. They cut the NYPD budget by a billion dollars. They cut special programs that were built to deal with problems specific to different low income neighborhoods and citizens that lived in those neighborhoods didn't want them cut. They verbally and physically abused the NYPD on national TV and yet they are pissed that the NYPD doesn't endorse them. Welcome to the new millennial way of thinking. It's all about them and **** the rest of the world. This is the real meaning of, "Screw me? No, screw you."
You couldn't be more right. De Blasio wants to make NYC a craphole. Cuomo calls on wealthy to return to New York City: 'You got to come back!' https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...-return-to-new-york-city-you-got-to-come-back De Blasio's reply: De Blasio bashes Cuomo’s plea for wealthy Hamptonites to return to NYC https://nypost.com/2020/08/06/de-blasio-bashes-cuomos-plea-for-wealthy-to-return-to-nyc/
MKes sense, cops don’t wanna be held accountable. Who else would they endorse but the guy who advocates police brutality?
Huh? WRONG. Trump WILL still Lose NY by over a 1.5 Million Votes... This Cop endorsement won't move the needle (in the least). Totally LMAO at the notion of :"President Trump has already been re-elected"
I don't see this as a surprise. I do however see this as a foolish gamble or an "all in" scenario. If they lose (odds are against them) they their asses will be on baton duty on the corner.
What I don’t see in your thoughtful post is a signs of soul searching like WTF? How’s this even possible? The police keeps America’s law and order, why are they so unhappy? We need them inspired and motivated to protect us! I don’t see any of this; all I see F*** them, who needs them, we’re fine without them. Very nearsighted, my friend,
