Bloomberg: Cops Should Go On Strike Until Americans Give Up Their Guns

[eyer]

Seriously, that's what the commander-in-chief of "the 7th biggest army in the world"* said...

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told CNN's Piers Morgan last night that he doesn't "understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe."

* Bloomberg to MIT students on 11/29/11:

“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have,”

I wonder how many boots they have on the ground to fend off the hordes of quart size Diet Pepsi abusers.

why stop at guns. Car's kill more people.....what about beer?

When you consider how many people on lit can thread a bullet through a panicked crowd and drill a bad guy between the eyes, we probably don't really need a police force.

This is the cream of the crop. All Harvard educated snipers.

Bloomberg probably has criteria for which guns he wants. Any weapon that has counterclockwise rifling, a pistol grip, a magazine that holds more than 4.7 or fewer than 2.3 rounds, looks ugly, or is of larger than 5mm caliber or smaller than .223. And anything that fires a round ever used by the military at any time since 1302.

So he's advocating NYC try the Chicago solution?

Bloomberg should be congratulated for his participatory involvement in the massacre in Aurora, as his plan to keep all the guns away worked to perfection, so well in fact noone in that entire theater had a gun (other than the gunman, or course). Perfect gun control only left 12 dead and a few dozen wounded. But the cops arrived in time to arrest him afterward. Maybe the cops should go ahead and strike, and Bloomberg can just send a lawyer in first, you know, to protect his rights.

Keep it up and you and your son will be turning in your mops.

The job would be depend on whether you pass the back ground check, so it's not a sure thing.

Many states it is illegal for police to strike.

I know Pa is one of the,

However in the late 70's every Philly police officer called in sick on the same day. Within 2 hours a contract was approved.

Bloomberg way to lower crime......

In 2010 the New York Post reported that NYPD supervisors were under increased pressure to "fudge" crime stats by downgrading major crimes to minor offenses.
