‘NYPD disbands anti-crime unit after ‘disproportionate’ number of shootings’ – Commish Shea, De Blasio’s “Hit-Man”, BOWS to BLM, a COMMUNIST Org. (VIDEOS)
A most staunch supporter (and the list within officialdom is, tragically, endless) behind the howling, braying, raging, and criminal elements that are now the full-throttle front-arm(s) of the DNC — namely, BLM and Antifa, communist front groups — is the Mayor of the largest city in the nation, Comrade De Blasio. Birds of a revolutionary feather.
As it happens, NYC (this investigative journalist’s birthplace, hometown, and personal/professional stomping grounds, that is, until 2008) used to be considered the financial and cultural epicenter of America. No longer. Stick a fork in it. Take this well-informed assessment to the bank.
Indeed, ever since a revolutionary Marxist/communist took over the helm, it has been in steady decline. More specifically, a swift exodus of higher-income taxpayers is in process, as they flee a continuously lawless and over-taxed city. Sound decision-making.
But little is more dangerous and revealing than De Blasio’s (and fellow totalitarian, Guv Cuomo) utter contempt towards law enforcement in general and the NYPD in particular. Animus. And it is precisely why, all of a sudden, “social distancing” is no longer a “health and welfare” issue for both of New York’s dictatorial leaders — as long as the mega-sized crowds bring down the city’s law and order apparatus!
To said end, New York City’s Comrade ordered the “NYPD Blue” to “stand down!” Mind you, this very grave dereliction of duty is of piece with letting loose scores of criminals to prey on the hapless public, too. Alas, to level the playing field, so to speak, wouldn’t it be justified to remove the Mayor’s NYPD crack security detail and see how long he lasts, most especially, in the face of the abdication of his sworn duty to protect the citizens? Fair is fair. Right?
But never mind. For average folks, the urgent question becomes: Could it get any worse? You bet. The knock-on effects will be measured in the shedding of much innocent {emphasis placed} blood and (looted) treasure. Not only that, the castration of the NYPD — unarguably, the gold-standard in policing in America and well beyond its borders — and its capitulation via De Blasio and his “strong-man”, Commish Shea, must now be deemed the “bar” that is set for “defunding the police”, unit by unit.
In reality, the NYPD’s “clipped wings” style of policing will be the more likely template in big cities, at least, those who are Demster-run, as well as RINO-headed. Shiver the nation timbers.
Know this, too: The lies, spin, and conflated stats surrounding the so-called “justification” for disbanding the 600-strong anti-crime unit has nothing to do with “bad” policing. Rather, it has everything to do with the fact that said plainclothes officers caught countless blacks in the act of criminal activities — and that truth doesn’t sit well with the far-left’s narrative and Marxist-style “policing”, that is, where the outlaws are in charge! You got that?

The NYPD is disbanding its undercover anti-crime unit — nearly six years after one of its plainclothes cops killed Eric Garner with a chokehold, sparking the rallying cry of “I can’t breathe” for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced the change Monday afternoon at police headquarters, describing ending the unit as “seismic” shift culturally in the NYPD.
The roughly 600 cops — spread out at precinct and public housing patrols across the city — will be reassigned into other posts, including the detective bureau and neighborhood policing efforts.
“I would consider this in the realm of closing on one of the last chapters on stop, question and frisk,” Shea said — while praising the squad members for getting guns off the streets.
The department, however, will still deploy plain-clothes cops in Gotham. The NYPD would not say how many cops would continue to patrol in plainclothes.
“This is a policy shift coming from me, personally, and the men and women in the police department we’re doing what I asked… they have done an exceptional job, but again I think it’s time to move forward and change how we police in this city,” Shea said.
“When you look at the number of anti-crime officers that operate within New York City, and you look at a disproportionate, quite frankly, percentage of complaints and shootings — and they are doing exactly what was asked of them,” Shea said.
The unit has had a history of high-profile shootings and deaths and, year-over-year, the cops in the patrol account for more than half of police-involved shootings, according to NYPD’s annual discharge reports.
Former officer Daniel Pantaleo was assigned to the anti-crime unit on Staten Island in July 2014 when he tried to arrest Garner for selling loose cigarettes and put him in a chokehold.
Pantaleo was found guilty of internal charges over Garner’s death and fired last year. A grand jury chose not to indict the former officer.
Slain Bronx anti-crime cop Brian Mulkeen was killed in a hail of friendly fire from fellow anti-crime officers while trying to make a gun bust in 2019. The suspect was also killed.
Shea concluded the brief press conference by raising the spectre of increased violence, adding the disbanding the unit will be noticed.
“It will be felt immediately throughout the five district attorney’s offices, it will be felt immediately in the communities that we protect,” he said.
“However, the key difference, we must do it in a manner that builds trust between the officers and the community.”
Gun violence in New York hit is at a two-year high, according to NYPD data released Monday.
Shootings have spiked almost 25 percent this year compared to last — with incident jumping to 394 from 317 as of Sunday.
While at the same time, gun arrests year-to-date were up 8 percent — even as other arrests were down one-third, the data shows.
Murders are also up 25 percent for the year, according to the numbers.
One source praised the move — saying the plainclothes unit had become too lenient in assigning younger cops to the patrol.
“Get those cops back on the street,” the source said. “It used to be you needed 10 years to get on plainclothes. Then they started bringing all these young guys in. I’m glad they’re doing that.”
The city’s largest police union, however, slammed Shea’s decision while issuing a similar but more explicit warning than the commissioner.
“Shooting and murders are both climbing steadily upward, but our city leaders have clearly decided that proactive policing isn’t a priority anymore,” PBA President Patrick Lynch said.
“They chose this strategy. They will have to reckon with the consequences.”
MEMO to Commish Shea: Your head is so far up De Blasio’s butt, it is hardly a wonder that you can’t see what is happening right under your nose! Moreover, if you had half the integrity, courage, love of country, and policing skills as former Commish Kelly, well, the NYPD would never, ever have been put on a leash from the get-go — the nanosecond that the city erupted in flames!! Bastard. And, that’s the G-d’s honest truth, like it or not.
Most significantly, Americans are now enslaved, yes, you read that right, to the most powerful political power brokers in America, that is, Black Lives Matter — again, no matter (no pun intended) its communist underpinnings and roots!
