NYC vs The NYPD

NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill

John V. Lindsey did it, and the city imploded.

Edward I. Koch revitalized the city through gentrification.

David Dinkins did and presided over record homicide rates and chaos.

Rudy Giuliani with "the GOOD Bill Bratton," revitalized the city through gentrification and treating the non-productive as the enemies of civilization that they are.

Now Warren Wilhelm Jr./Bill DeBlasio is doing it...undermining the NYPD.

It took the assassination of Officer Phil Cardillo in Mosque 7 in 1972 to wake the city to Lindsey's incompetence.

Phil Cardillo's remains the only NYPD Line of Duty Funeral unattended by the Mayor.

It took two years in which the murder rate in NYC topped 2,000 to underscore David Dinkins' incompetence...and it'll take another horrific, crime, or set of crimes to highlight DeBlasio's.

YOU just don't want to be the victim of that, but someone(s) will be sacrificed in order to awaken a sleeping city.

Civilization rests on the principle that government protects its CITIZENS (productive members) and punishes the non-productive and criminally inclined. Those non-productive inhabitants have not traditionally been counted as citizens.

That changed with the advent of the "counterculture," which wrongly blamed society/civilization for the deeds of the unproductive and anti-social and counted them as...CITIZENS.

The counterculture in America was a misstep, a wrong turn that is STILL having negative consequences today.
