The totalitarian Acalde of New York City has again struck at individual freedoms. This time he posed the apparently hypothetical question of wondering why cops don't go on strike in order to press for stricter gun control legislation.
“ 'I don’t understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe,’’ he told CNN’s Piers Morgan.
“Police officers want to go home to their families. And we’re doing everything we can to make their job more difficult, but more importantly, more dangerous, by leaving guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them and letting people who have those guns buy things like armor piercing bullets.' ’’
As usual, the lies are rife in his statements.
Many jobs are dangerous. Cops are not alone in that arena. The vast majority of cops have no desire to disarm the American population due to the actions of criminals and psychopaths. There are very few cops who are shameless enough to call for more rigid gun control. Some of them (Us if you include me before retirement) may indeed act hypocritically at times, but asking for everyone else to be helpless while cops are not would be the ultimate act of hypocrisy. While the cop is on duty (assuming that he does not strike), is his family now required to be helpless even in their homes until he returns from his shift?
Desiring to go home to one's family is not restricted to cops. That is also the goal for roofers, fishermen, coal miners, and others who are employed in jobs that are more dangerous than working behind a desk.They voluntarily apply for, get vetted, and train for these jobs. They also are not required to remain on the job unless they so desire. Most cops earn a decent if not a good salary for what they do.
Bullets designed to pierce armor have no relevance to the acts of a mass murderer who shoots civilians in public or anywhere else. The armor-piercing bullet drama is a smoke-and-mirrors operation to outlaw many types of ammunition such as rifle rounds.
Like other public employees, cops cannot go on strike, That is one of the reasons that many states allow collective bargaining for their salaries and benefits. Reagan's bold and correct move in firing the PATCO employees (Air Traffic Controllers) who struck in the 80's proved that point. Bloomberg seems to suggest that the cops are such cowards that they would consider walking off the job to extort their respective States to pass stricter gun laws.
Let's read it again-
"I don’t understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe,’’
What a filthily awful thing to say.
We are so tired of firearm-related crime that we are going to stop protecting you. When gangs of criminals begin looting, raping, and murdering, then you will finally get the idea and throw up your hands in supplication for stricter laws. Then and only then will we go back to work, and by that time you will finally appreciate us.
How can someone even imply that cops would not recoil in horror at such a thought? If shame would not be enough to strike (no pun intended) that thought from their mind, their pride would.
Bloomberg seeks to plant the seed of fear of the mob in the minds of of the people. This is classic totalitarianism.
If in fact something like this occurred, the people would actually finally realize that it is they who are primarily to protect themselves and their neighbors and that full-time and well-trained/equipped cops are a luxury allowed by a prosperous society. Citizens would buy more ammunition for the weapons that they already have, set up armed neighborhood watches, and some (Especially those who currently have none) would do all that they could to acquire new firearms. They would probably exercise far less restraint when confronted by criminals than do the cops. Non-citizens/resident aliens or others who are not allowed to posses firearms would have to rely on the work of their neighbors unless they violate the law in order to obtain the means to protect themselves.
-and once the cops came crawling back, they would no longer have their jobs.
..".leaving guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them"
-for Bloomberg that is pretty much everyone who is not a cop or a military member on duty. Bloomberg of course enjoys a full-time staff of NYC cops who protect him. Once he finally leaves office, his wealth will enable him to employ private security staff who are also armed.
Bloomberg is an enemy of the American people who masquerades as a protective father figure.
