I've noticed that the wealthy area near me ( in NYC ) has recently beefed up their private security patrols - as NYPD has become demoralized since mayor DiBlasio has been running with the 'Defund the Cops" crowd.
The cops are like - fuck it - you assholes elected him - we'll just collect the paychecks - you can do your own policing. I don't blame them.
Meanwhile, I went to the local park. Thousands of illegal aliens breaking just about every law you can think of.
I bet those private security guys are ex NYPD. If you want to work in that field why wouldn't you move to a position where the people paying you actually respect you.
I think there needs to be laws that protect police from the verbal and physical abuse we've been seeing directed at them over the last five years. If a Judge can summarily hand out a 30 day jail sentence in a court room because someone calls the judge an asshole, then cops need to be able to something similar.
I am increasingly appalled by the brashness and callousness by which "protestors" can walk up to a police officer and call him all sorts of names to his face and he just has to stand there and take it. No one else would be expected to put up with this abuse on their job and cops shouldn't be either. Insulting and abusing law enforcement like that is by extension an assault and abuse on our rule of law and the order of our communities. It should never be commonplace that punks can take out their anger on society by using law enforcement officers as whipping boys.
I don't think there should be any laws governing what people say in public other than the extreme cases (ie: shouting "fire" in a theater") and for things like slander where lies cause actual damage to my livelyhood. There was a time when all children were taught early in life the simple "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" lesson. I don't give a damn if you say something that upsets me, that's your right. It's not illegal to upset someone.
But I do believe there should be laws preventing public officials from taking stances that are unsupported by law. They take an oath to uphold the law of the land and protecting the people they serve, they should be sanctioned for violating it. These council members are jepardizing the safety of their community with this reckless virtue signaling.
As I understand it from real estate agents, well insulated areas around NY are also seeing a huge uptick in refugees from the city. "Sure, we'll be happy to go out and protest police brutality and environmental injustice, but I certainly don't want to be anywhere near those implementations. What am I, crazy?"
I know 2 men who were upper regional USA management for a Fortune 500. Each one was enticed to relocate internationally for 18-24 mo to rebuild/fix brand operations in South Africa and South America. The amount of cash incentives was crazy. Company paid for both to take their families to visit before deciding. Both said within 30 mins of arriving they were 100% OUT. Caravan of Private fully armed security driving their families 90 mph everywhere to avoid bad elements. Both were promised 24/7 armed security chaperones for entire 18-24 mo duration. Both said F NO. Soon to be the same as in Minneapolis.
Similar situation for me. I’ve been contacted by recruiters to work in the ME for crazy money. No thanks. I’ve known guys go over there and it’s the same, private security etc. one guy was telling me how they were at a plant and these armed muzzies showed up threatening people. Not worth it imo.
So...here’s a thought I had: 99% of private security guys are either former military or police. And I don’t mean unarmed hospital/mall people watchers, I mean real security. Go ahead and let all these liberal idiots hire private security, mostly conservative guys. At some point, all these guys need to turn around and show the assholes they’re protecting who they’ve entrusted their security too.

There are very few things as demoralizing as doing a job where people don’t actually want you to do it.
Makes sense to me.

Yeah, it is called disorderly conduct or failure to obey a lawful order. The cops are just commanded not to do it.
Edit: or, you know, they could arrest people for arson, theft, and vandalism.

At the city's expense, I'm sure....

You can’t make this crap up
hehehehehe
The council vote to disband was 12-0
If they didn't want it, they shouldn't have voted for it.
Private security for all!!!!
Wait...
Wait, are they paying for it with taxpayer money still?
Hypocrites! Security and safety for me but not for thee!
Don’t see a source listed for this in the article?
Paid for entirely by the taxpayers of course.
No Police? No Protection/Safety!..Then No Ambulance/EMT, No Firetrucks/Firemen.... and definitely NO FEDERAL FUNDING....
How does a city council member afford private security? Where did that money come from?
