Someone should have broached the subject (which another astute Blogtownie has brought up)of them being on the job and in uniform when they stage their protest and the legality of such things.

Wait, is this the same police union where the head of said union had previously demanded Mayor Adams' resignation? Now they want Adams to step in, reassign, or possible take over responsibility for the bureau? Is that correct?

The city should send a bill to the police union, asking to be re-imbursed for the wages for those police who were demonstrating while they were supposed to be on the job. Assuming, of course, that they were actually supposed to be working. After all, they were violating regulations, I believe.

This is fucking ridiculous. The man was suspended, not fired. There'll be an investigation, maybe hearing. Sounds like the system is working to me. Yet here we have a group, the police, who are accustomed to giving orders and not taking them. They obviously don't like having their authority or judgment questioned. Their job is to uphold the system, which is functioning just fine thank you, but when one decision goes against them, they are willing to ignore their responsibilities and drop everything to protest the administration. What a bunch of fucking babies. I'm ready for a vote of no confidence in the police who believe they should be exempt from questioning.

The little gangsta twirp was subdued by non-lethal means in the course of attacking a cop. Even a 12 year old should know not to f*** with a guy with a gun that has REAL BULLETS in it! And as for her age, was it tattooed on her forehead or something? A 150-160 lb PERSON (meaning either sex) can do some damage, and I'm betting she was dressing to look grown up. Give the cops a break and let the investigation begin. I'm betting that once all the facts are out, they won't look so bad.
