I don’t know what people expect him to do with the NYPD. They may be employees of the city of New York on paper, but they’re closer to an occupying barbarian army “protecting” the city, and they are in all the group texts with ICE
@flyingsaceur that's always been our biggest problem: who polices the police? At this point, with our technology, we can create citizen watch groups who watch cops in real time, with perhaps a group of defense attorneys (the only attorneys we can trust. Prosecutors are basically lawyer cops since they have to work so closely with them) to oversee a committee. Sure, this is just off the top of my head, but we could do something, anything, and it could be better than what we have now.
@ManWhoTalksToHisHand I think at this point Mamadani and Hochul need to be taking out the senior officers of the NY National Guard to dinner every week
One of the things about police in countries with the Napoleonic Code is that they are regimentalized and their commanding officer has a seat on their Joint Chiefs of Staff. It’s not perfect but at least in theory an insubordinate Carabinero could be shot for insubordination
