BREAKING: Comrade de Blasio doesn't make the cut-drops out of 2020 race

He even gives himself the finger

Warren Wilhelm Jr. [aka Bill de Blasio] didn't make the cut to be on the Democratic debate stage on September 12 for the 2020 presidential campaign. He will now be relegated to simply being the worst mayor New York City has seen in the last 100 years, followed by another Democrat, David Dinkins.

If he deems it necessary to return to the city that he's supposed to head, he can work on the latest proposal to rid the Big Apple of schools for the gifted so that they can be put into regular schools where they can take pride in the fact that they aren't so special after all, and can learn at the same pace as other kids. Sorry, Asian students--you lose.

De Blasio can also look forward to a police force that is suffering from the "Pantaleo Effect" after Officer Daniel Pantaleo was fired over the Eric Garner incident in which he was doing his job. Now police are hesitant to forcefully engage criminals due to their fear of being fired as well.

Maybe if de Blasio returns to New York City he'll make it his business to attend public events, such as the New York City Marathon, for example, rather than having one of his lackies go in his place. After all, he missed the Puerto Rican Day Parade and stayed in Iowa for his campaign when the city had an electrical blackout.

In May, he dissed a memorial event for victims of toxic exposure to Ground Zero--and he blamed his staff! What a guy.

Yes, and attending a murdered cop's vigil in 2017 was just too much to ask of him because he didn't want to interrupt his fun time in Germany. The cops show him their backs when he speaks to them.

So de Blasio finally dropped out of the race but unfortunately he is still Mayor of New York City. Hopefully not for long.

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.
