As the defunding vote in NY approaches...


"First dispirit them - then tell them they are doing a bad job - and then what you do is  .. with the Occupy movement that you asked to go there - across the street from City Hall - tell them you are cutting a billion dollars out of the budget - and oh yeah - instead of saying we are in austere times, in the middle of the corona virus - and we have to cut the budget and it npains me to do so - I am taking it and putting it toward generic youth programs.  There is a Police Athletic League already, but I dont want to digress.  Generic youth programs.  Are they dramatically underfunded?  Is this addressing something - or is this an idea or an ideal that you are implementing now - which puts the NY citizen on the sideline?
Now - let me tell you what (DeBlazio) is doing.  He is cutting one thousand one hundred and sixty three police officers from the next academy class that is coming in.  So imagine this - even though all this stuff is going on NEGATIVE with the NYPD, they've got this great history that says "I'm gonna go in there anyway" - and for forty thousand dollars...when you take out taxes you take about twenty three thousand dollars home - you commute to the most expensive city in the country - you won't wear your uniform because you are afraid of being targeted = and you will go and you will TRAIN and you will DIRECT TRAFFIC and you will try to rebuild this city ina  very tense time.  But then you get a call that you are NO LONGER going to be in the Academy.  Because they are looking to save money
They are also diverting money from school safety, where the police department was handling it - andf putting it in the hands of the Department of Education.  So now SCHOOL SAFETY GOES ON THE BACK BURNER. Schools can handle it themselves.   UNBELIEVABLE series of events!

That's a helluva way to describe your supporters, Senator.

heh

Recommend that you see both sides - maybe take an interest in a segment once in a while as it is provided for you.

Red's going to root out rampant corruption wherever he finds it, from the grass roots up.

But he's focused just on Blue grass.

Kid you posted a naked quote, so I spun it in a way that made perfect sense.

You want me to consider your intended meaning, then post a link and give me some context from which to consider the "other side"

And the real fear for Repubs is not the masses holding a microphone, pitchfork or AR-15, but holding fair elections.

VOTE BABY VOTE

Best description of the republican senate caucus that I’ve read in a while. One of the uneducated even has a gavel.

One thing I learned in my dealings with public health (doing social work in group homes) is how substandard housing can impact respiratory health.  Poor housing can give you asthma, in several ways.    And also,  living within 150 feet of an arterial (where cheaper housing is often found) has an impact on CV health.  We have a long ways to go on these issues.   




uhhhhh...

I don't think so

Kid I've a real question for you and I've never asked before, and we've posted together for close to 25 years, but what is your educational background and profession?

[REDSTATEWARD]

This is what happens when anarchist rioting protesters make society sick of them,  the violin vigil folk  pay a price.

So hard to tell anarchists and violinists apart.   Anyone who has been to a Suzuki method recital knows this.

It appears you have no clue to the meanings of anarchy or the Suzuki Method.

Banks, ya beat me to it. Nice.

Kilmead’s diatribe was better in the original German. Is he thinking of quitting his job as a prostitute and spreader of disease to pursue a career in public safety? More to the point, why does any network try to pass his stupid pet tricks off as commentary?

Kiid, your knowledge of substandard housing (your home for instance) is as flimsy and misguided as your knowledge of just about anything else. It is certain you will die in ignorance, as you have lived.

kid if you are too timid to provide any supporting material, context, or a link where I can see Scott's comment in totality, and presumably expose your "other side", how can you expect me to consider both sides?

Have to say that having armed protesters (and/or armed counter-protesters) is going to end badly some time.  The folks with weapons in the gallery above the Michigan lawmakers made it pretty clear that intimidation is bad enough.  But at some point someone is going to fire their weapon during a protest and others might respond.  It might even become a new form of mass shooting.  But the combination of inflamed passions and high-powered weaponry is not going to end well.
