NYPD make 'no confidence' resolution against de Blasio and Commish

Patrick J. Lynch makes "gun-finger" and
liberals duck

The delegates of the Police Benevolent Association, comprised of about 400, unanimously approved a "no confidence" resolution on Wednesday against Democratic Communist Mayor Bill de Blasio [aka Warren Wilhelm] and Police Commissioner James O'Neill, according to The Hill.

The delegates all voted together calling for Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to fire both officials in the event that they do not resign immediately, which they never will.



Under New York law, the governor is permitted to remove mayors and police commissioners, but to get Gov. Andrew Cuomo to act responsibly is like asking Kim Jong Un to give up his dictatorship.

The resolution was probably inspired by the firing of Daniel Pantaleo, an officer accused of killing Eric Garner in 2014, in spite of Garner's 300 pounds and asthmatic condition. The pressure was on de Blasio and O'Neill when it was found that Pantaleo wouldn't be charged, based on visual evidence.

Despite Pantaleo’s being let off the hook legally, an administrative judge recommended on August 2 that he be fired. O’Neill, an obvious political hack, cowardly obliged and terminated Pantaleo’s employment August 19.

“Police Commissioner O’Neill has made his choice: he has chosen politics and his own self-interest over the police officers he claims to lead,” PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said in the statement, which was posted on Twitter. “He has chosen to cringe in fear of the anti-police extremists, rather than standing up for New Yorkers who want a functioning police department, with cops who are empowered to protect them and their families.

“With this decision, Commissioner O’Neill has opened the door for politicians to dictate the outcome of every single NYPD disciplinary proceeding, without any regard for the facts of the case or police officers’ due process rights.”

"The damage is already done. The NYPD will remain rudderless and frozen, and Commissioner O’Neill will never be able to bring it back. Now it is time for every PO in this city to make their own choice."



While that was an apparent reference to the mayor, de Blasio was also criticized explicitly.

“For years, Mayor de Blasio has demonized police officers and undermined our efforts to protect our city,” Lynch said in a statement after the vote was taken.

It’s clear that de Blasio has been more concerned with socialism while he's near the very bottom of the 2020 Democratic primary lineup, than he is in being a mayor. So he is greatly disliked by his city, the governor of his state, and most Americans. The best thing he could do would be to drop out of the 2020 campaign, roll up his worker sleeves, and work at being a better mayor rather than an incompetent Commie.

Arrests are down in the city and this is being attributed to the "Pantaleo Effect."

Let's hope de Blasio and O'Neill are gone soon.

NYPD's 'Pantaleo Effect': fewer arrests made

If you fire cops for doing their job you're going to get cops having second thoughts about doing their job. You might even get them to leave the force altogether and it's going to be interesting to see how many new recruits want to work at a dangerous job where they are rendered significantly impotent.

The number of arrests and criminal summonses handled by New York's city cops plummeted last week compared to the same period last year — and law enforcement sources attribute the phenomenon to the “Pantaleo Effect.’’

Officer Daniel Pantaleo was fired by NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill on August 19th over the death of Eric Garner, a 395 pound asthmatic who resisted arrest and was taken down with an illegal choke hold that Pantaleo used which lasted about 15 seconds and was determined not to be the cause of Garner's death. The union argued that the cop was simply doing his job during an arrest.

Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Lynch told his members to "proceed with the utmost caution" answering calls on duty. New statistics show they listened to him.

The number of arrests fell 27% between August 19, the day of Pantaleo's firing, and August 25, compared to the same period last year--with 3,508 this year compared to 4,827 last year.

Criminal summonses issued also fell nearly 29% over the same period, going from 1,655 to 1,181, the figures show.

The New York Post reports that although there isn't an organized slowdown, the cops on the street clearly feel their leaders don't have their backs, so why should they put their lives on the line after what happened to their colleague?

“Who wants to be the last cop standing?” a Manhattan cop said. “If someone’s in trouble and needs help or if a cop’s in trouble, obviously, you do what you have to do as a police officer. But if it’s discretionary, why put yourself in harm’s way?’’

An NYPD supervisor in Brooklyn said, “Of course it has to do with what happened to Pantaleo — cops are frustrated, upset. They feel they don’t have the backing of downtown, Police Headquarters and City Hall, which means Bill de Blasio continues to be more concerned about his political aspirations than the city of which he is mayor.

“It all goes back to cops feeling like they’re out on the street alone.’’

And it also goes back to the idea that the public no longer supports the one group of people who do all they can to serve and protect. It all started with the Ferguson Effect when Michael Brown attacked a police officer and was shot and killed and the public blamed the cop in spite of witnesses and physical evidence.

NYPD cop caught allegedly trafficking heroin

A New York City police officer Yessenia Jimenez is alleged to have helped her boyfriend run a drug trafficking ring. She used their apartment to stash 250 grams of heroin. 

She was arrested Tuesday after a months-long investigation led them to Yessenia Jimenez, 31, and Luis Soto, 33. 

The drug trafficking ring spanned from glorious Mexico to New York.

"The defendant's own apartment was being used as a stash house," Manhattan Assistant U.S. Attorney Thane Rehn said.

A DEA official said an agent arrested Jimenez with $25,000 and her NYPD service weapon stuffed in her purse, and an additional $25,000 in another bag, according to the New York Post.  

She was charged with drug trafficking and weapons possession.

The officer joined the NYPD in 2015 and has been suspended without pay. NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said the arrest and allegations were troubling.

Naturally, Jimenez's lawyer, Mark Gombiner, challenged the weapons-possession charge. "This is her service weapon," he said. "Given that she's a police officer she's kind of mandated (to have) her service weapon with her."

Especially when carrying all that money and drugs.

Jimenez was being held on $75,000 bond, which she should be able to come up with if she just had one more bag of cash like the others.

Soto agreed to be held without bail.

Jimenez declined comment but Mayor Bill de Blasio said that he believes the officer's impropriety is directly connected to President Trump and Mueller should investigate.

NYC's Chelsea section rocked by bomb

A "deafening" explosion in New York City's Chelsea section on Saturday night injured 29 people and blew out dozens of windows. It forced several buildings in the area to be evacuated.

It is now believed that this blast and the one that occurred in Seaside Park, New Jersey are related and may be the work of one person who is obviously not Islamic because Islam doesn't teach Muslims how to use pressure cookers to make bombs and is a religion of love and stuff.

The blast occurred in a construction Dumpster outside the Townhouse of Chelsea at 131 West 23rd Street.

Socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio called the explosion an "intentional act," but not believed to be connected to terrorism. 

That's because de Blasio is a genius. Blowing up bombs on city streets isn't terrorism in de Blasio's mental midget mind. And he had absolutely nothing to go on in order to make such a stupid statement.


Three hours after the blast, a second device was found four blocks away--a Boston Marathon-style pressure cooker that the investigation deemed likely to have been a bomb too. That may be due to the fact that the device was a pressure cooker with a cell phone and wiring attached inside a plastic grocery bag which was placed inside a garbage can.

"The bomb squad believes it's real," a police source told the New York Post.

The second bomb was discovered at 27th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues and was safely removed by the NYPD and taken to a gun range in The Bronx to be safely tested.

Police kept the area closed to the public as the investigation took place.

Of the 29 injured, one "may be considered serious" the tall and highly stupid de Blasio said. The victim in that case suffered a puncture wound. Most of the other injuries of the 15 men and 14 women in total were from scrapes and abrasions from flying debris.

"Thankfully, none of these are life-threatening injuries," said FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro.

The cause of the explosion is still a mystery to people who voted for de Blasio.

NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill told the media that "We do have video, and we do see the explosion." The department will be carefully reviewing all video at the scene.

Police dogs are sniffing out the area looking for more possible devices.
