Mayor Bloomberg Calls for a National Police Strike
From 2012.
New York City’s billionaire mayor has called for a police strike by the nation’s police. Reason? There is not enough gun control. This was in response to a CNN interviewer’s question on why American voters do not demand gun control. Here are his words.
“I don’t understand why the police officers of this country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re gonna 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. After all police officers want to go home to their families.”
You can see the response here.
He mentioned armor-piercing bullets. He said that only the police wear armor.
Excuse me, Nanny, but I read something about a fellow out in Aurora, Colorado, who wore armor.
Here is a mayor who recommends that the nation’s police go on strike. Does this bananahead understand social cause and effect?
What would your response be if the cops all quit? Buy a gun? Buy a holster? Buy some ammo? I hope so.
Who would enforce laws against concealed handguns if the cops were all on strike?
A national police strike would do more to wipe out the gun control movement than anything I can think of. It would force citizens to face up to reality: they are responsible for protecting their families, not a call to 911.
Bloomberg became a billionaire by selling business information. His career as mayor of New York City shows that it does not take common sense to make a lot of money. But it takes a lot of money to get elected mayor of New York City.
