Yes. New York State needs to call in all social workers for mandatory front line overtime during tonight’s riots!!

Can't wait to call to report my car being broken into and being carted off for misgendering the thief.

Maher said he wanted s recession to oust Trump, then when it actually happened over the plandemic he "totally didn't mean it."

This strikes me as a "Saturday Night Massacre" situation.

Black Mayor orders chief to do something he isn't comfortable with 'or else' and he quits (aka abruptly retires)

Fine, she'll have his replacement do it. Nope. Every single command officer steps down, nah Mayor, I'm just going to continue on as a Lieutenant instead.

Now she has zero apparatus to issue directives to.

Question is, what did she order? Stand down? Kneel? Side with and assist protesters? Deputize ANTIFA and allow them to police neighborhoods in their stead? Something worse?

All good questions. If they are any real journalists left with integrity (i.e. Andy Ngo) perhaps we can come up with the answers. Not holding my breath.

Also, this: Deputy Chief Joseph Morabito also announced his retirement after more than 34 years of service to the RPD. Deputy Chief Mark Simmons is returning to the rank of lieutenant. Commander Fabian Rivera announced his retirement, and Commander Henry Favor is returning to his previous rank of lieutenant.

I don't know why some of these guys who have put in the time and can retire at any time stay on the job. In some cases, they may have started their careers late in life and just won't make that much in retirement. But when you have the years on, there's a good chance they won't give up much if any in pay while in retirement.

Those officers in a unique position to bounce should do so ASAP. We've seen that it doesn't matter what town or city it is in America, an incident involving a black person will get nationwide attention and you never know what that next call will turn into.

Leatherwood 7 points ago +7 / -0

Exactly right. Could be forced into a confrontation with a crazed perp, and then charged by a crooked DA for defending himself. Definitely not worth it.

You mean to tell me Rochester has a black mayor and a black police chief and they’re both guilty of inflicting white supremacy onto their PCP users? It isn’t Wakanda???

Whoa whoa whoa.......are you suggesting that the black Mayor and the black Police Chief are propping up and carrying out systemic racism agains their citizens of colour?!?

0io- 2 points ago +2 / -0

Don't let their black skin fool you. White Supremacy is socially constructed just like race and gender. If you study intersectionality in your mandatory critical race theory class long enough you'll see how they're actually White Supremacists because of the power dynamics of the Hegelian class structure. Read more Marx!

Entire command staff resigned with him. Finally, a PD that stands up or itself.

Isn't this what they want though? Command staff resigns, gives them a chance to install leftist loyalists.

As opposed to...the cops who let BLM and Antifa destroy our cities while arresting us for standing up to them?

35
Liam_Clancy 35 points ago +40 / -5

Agreed but i feel for police because they either honour the chain of command or get in trouble for insubordination. It's not really their fault that mayors and council members have left everybody high and dry.

Hmm, good to see TD is turning into the cop-hating site Reddit had claimed it was. Totally irrational, Dunning-Kruger asses.

Hey, next time your boss tells you to do something you disagree with make sure you resign on the spot.

Hypocrisy, arrogance and ignorance aren't a good mix. Getting pulled right into the narrative the commies want.

31
Ronald_Dregan 31 points ago +33 / -2

Yes. But it will assuredly backfire on them. The mayor will not be re-elected as a result, and the new mayor will appoint real police to the chief's position. Then, he or she will put in real police to the command staff. They are fucking around and they are about to find out.

Assuming that fair elections are allowed to take place that is.

Like, obviously Trump and crew aren't at all like Hitler, but I have to admit that all this rioting and ACAB and BLM idiocy really make me appreciate the "...and then, for no reason at all, Hitler came to power" meme.

Was the black police chief not a democrat?

16
Lila_Quartermaine 16 points ago +16 / -0

Yes he is black democrat AND white supremacist who earned the respect of a largely black community while surreptitiously taking orders directly from Trump to implement the systemic racism. HONK

No what they want is to have them squabbling amongst themselves. Tree of liberty time you want squads who stick together for a common goal

Coups are illegal. But, sure. Why not?

On one hand this may be good. On another hand - now worse SJW types will take his place.

Better thing would have been a strike - 24-48 hours is good enough to teach people a lesson. Montreal Canada did this in 1969:

Rochester police were not sjw types. They deal with a lot of gang violence daily

They looked good the last few nights. Maybe that was the problem for the Mayor and city council. They kept the rioters off the interstate.

Is Rochester a biker hotspot? Or are we talking bloods and crips?

What do ya think?

FireannDireach 3 points ago +3 / -0

inner city, black gangs. Not bloods and crips level, but they're there - like my relatives who live up there say, if you need a whore or drugs, Rochester has you covered.

Outskirts are biker types, west side has an old, established Hell's Angels chapter that's been there since the 60's.

Mayors love appointing new directors because they will just use it as an opportunity to appoint the "First LGBTQIZA÷ Chief of Color" regardless of qualifications.

It would not be better there are many more armed people in the USA then Canada and several militias. Every city would be a complete war zone.
