Cuomo blasts the NYPD for not violating the U.S. Constitution

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) apparently does not know the definition of the word "dictator" or perhaps he comes from another dimension where up is down, left is right, and freedom is restriction.

Cuomo is blasting the New York City Police Department for refusing to enforce unconstitutional restrictions on indoor gatherings this Thanksgiving holiday week.

Last week he issued new COVID-19 related restrictions that limit indoor gatherings to a 10-person limit, including gatherings in people's home. Evidently he planned to have law enforcement personnel patrolling neighborhoods knocking on doors where suspicious celebrations may be going down.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea recently stated that his agency will not break up indoor gatherings regardless of what don Cuomo honked. 

In a New York Post report on Wednesday, Cuomo blasted police for turning a blind eye to such gatherings, and for allegations that many officers themselves refuse to wear masks.

"A lot of police officers don't wear a mask," he said. "[W]ell, how are you then supposed to enforce other people wearing a mask when they see you not wearing a mask? 'I violate the law but you can't.' No! Nobody said you were above the law! I don't believe that person is a law enforcement officer. I don't want a law enforcement officer who says, 'I'm only enforcing the law that I like or think should be enforced.'" 

Kind of like Cuomo and other Democratic governors not enforcing physical distancing and mask wearing at Antifa and BLM demonstrations turned riots. 

Kind of like inviting your 89-year-old vulnerable to covid mother over for Thanksgiving but not the little people whose mothers live elsewhere. 

Kind of like going to ou\t at a $650 a plate dinner with 25 others and lying about the number and the fact that it was indoors.

Kind of like other lawmakers who make laws that don't apply to them, only to the unwashed masses.

Well, screw you godfoddah Cuomo and the horse's head you rode in on.

Last week, Shea told NY1, "We're not planning on breaking up Thanksgiving celebrations. ... We have to be smart. We're encouraging everyone to use common sense here and to get New York City through this. No one in large gatherings, we think at this point that's common sense."

That's because Police Commissioner Shea doesn't think the public are stupid, although we have to consider that New York City elected Comrade Bill de Blasio as their mayor, so there's that.

According to the New York Post, a number of New York state sheriffs announced their refusal to enforce Cuomo's dictatorial and unconstitutional mandate on Thanksgiving gatherings.

For example, Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino, took to Facebook and wrote in regard to the mandate: 

"Frankly, I am not sure it could sustain a Constitutional challenge in Court for several reasons including your house is your castle. And as a Sheriff with a law degree I couldn't in good faith attempt to defend in Court, so I won't. ... We have limited resources and we have to set priorities, so obtaining a Search Warrant to enter your home to see how many Turkey or Tofu eaters are present is not a priority."

Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy, Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard, and Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo also echoed Giardino's sentiments, according to the Post.

In a news release, Zurlo said, "I can't see how devoting our resources to counting cars in citizens' driveways or investigating how much turkey and dressing they've purchased is for the public good."

I hope your Thanksgiving was great. Peace.
