According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/01\/07\/opinion\/no-justice-no-police.html?_r=0\">New York Times<\/a>, last week, officers issued 347 criminal summonses compared to the same week last year, they wrote 4,077. Traffic and parking tickets are virtually nonexistent these days. The Times editorial staff and the DeBlasio administration are pretty angry;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Call this what it is: a reckless, coordinated escalation of a war between the police unions and Mr. de Blasio and a hijacking of law-enforcement policy by those who do not set law-enforcement policy. This deplorable gesture is bound to increase tension in a city already rattled&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, tough. Any other union standing up to The Man would have the Times&#8217; unwavering support. They would delight in the antics and gleefully report the anguish suffered by the union&#8217;s target. But, it&#8217;s Bonnie Prince DeBlasio who is being picketed, so it&#8217;s not quite as much fun.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had my problems with how the NYPD does their job at times, but I don&#8217;t have to live there. I sympathize with them, having to do their job in that environment, though. The mayor wants a crime-free city, but he doesn&#8217;t want the criminals to be inconvenienced.<\/p>\n<p>If I was a New Yorker, I&#8217;d make other living accommodations, though, what with the police on strike, and no way to protect myself, and the police are the only ones allowed to have guns in the city. But my 5 acres here is crime free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Police Department seems to be on strike.
