The politicians can keep ignoring the emboldened criminals they’ve created with NY’s NO-CONSEQUENCE laws — but the voting public and cops who serve them are in danger. The city is in crisis and the Governor, Legislature, and many DAs are missing in action.

To @NYGovCuomo:.More than 150 NYPD cops have been assaulted — 4 were almost murdered — and all you speak about is how we aren’t doing a good job. As Governor, you should support the men & women who are working to stop NYC from burning. That’s what leadership is. Shame on you!

Former VP Joe Biden’s suggestion that cops should “shoot someone in the leg” if they’re coming at them is insulting and demonstrates his incompetence & inability to understand the grave dangers cops face as they protect the public and themselves from violent, heartless criminals.
