Blue flu - but they are not staying home

probably only threatening their own paychecks, as they are definitely affecting revenue stream. However, it is eliminating a lot of the potential abuse by police pursuing petty offenses, for instance, choke-holding a guy selling loosies.

It's his fault resources were being squandered over such piddly things. The cops were following orders. The Dems are great for taxing and spending. That's what they do.
All the republicans do is bellyache and finger - point. Its what they do best.

DB wants the tax revenue. Pretty sure he frowns on choking smuggler "suspects" to death - to collect it.

The NYPD has BANNED the chokehold tactics. The murderous officer decided to ignore the ban without the mayor's input. The scot-free officer has yet to be disciplined for that "oversight." What does that tell us?
FYI, under DeBlasio's watch 2014 stop and frisk incidents were around 50,000, down from 700,000 in 2011. That's an impressive reduction for just 1 year in office. Since a federal court declared these policies UNconstitutinal, a ruling that was upheld despite Bloomberg's appeal, city council taken up a comprehensive review that proposes the bare bones minimum policy revisions most of us take for granted: A statement of probable cause and eliciting voluntary informed consent from detained citizens in the absence of a search warrant.
What part of those proposals do you find objectionable?
Oh, this is what they are keeping busy with - sm

I still wonder at the psychological stability of many of our police officers.

Nobody knew or could give me an answer.
So I come home and type "Excedrin" into Google, and was shocked to learn that it's been recalled! (Along with 2 other, can't-do-without staples, No-Doz and Gas-X).
