what a fuckin dickhead, come get your guy DSA

What do y'all expect him to say? He's the fucking mayor, he isn't gonna say "do it more" or "next time use a brick", he doesn't call the nypd cowards or whatever

This statement doesn't condemn the snowball throwers at all, he doesn't claim that it was a violent attack or condemn violence on police officers. He just says "treat them with respect" which is the bare minimum he probably had to do to get the immensely powerful police unions off his back

He's not going to start a revolution against the nypd and don't expect him to

Maybe say nothing then, if decorum is so important.

"I've instructed NYC civil engineers to aid in the construction of snow forts"

[–] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

that would be hilarious, and defuse the whole situation from a PR perspective. of course you will get hostile coverage but it's funny as shit and that usually wins. good judo and they should hire you

Yeah, that would be ideal. Of course he feels the pressure from police and their unions, same as with keeping Tisch, this is the limit of electoral politics/entryism

[–] Pergoss@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Reporters even asked him if he would press charges and he was like, "It was a snowball."

"respect the police" yeah no

no that's not going to happen

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 months ago

Something similar happened in DC years ago. Big snowball fight, off-duty cop gets his car hit by a couple, brandished his gun and called in backup.

If anyone's catching a snowball, it's me.

Well ok, if you insist. This one's made of yellow snow!

Fentanyl laced snowballs LMAOOO

[–] BattleshipPokemon@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

when the party social democrat doesn't immediately call for a protracted people's war against his own city's police force

[–] PurrLure@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

This is the mayor DSA simps for? Really? dennis-stare

Would have been better to say nothing at all, and then when chuds complain just say you were too busy actually improving the city to be terminally online enough to hear about cops getting snowballed.
