Wow. No love for the police on Facebook.
My feed had half a dozen threads relating to the "work slowdown" in NYC, and the corresponding drastic reduction in the crime rate. Of course...stands to reason that if cops aren't arresting people for jaywalking and littering that the "crime rate" will go down. But also, the city hasn't erupted in flames, there has been no mass chaos, although I am sure city revenues will take a big hit from the lack of frivolous citations handed out. Otherwise life appears to be going on.
What is startling are the comments. Support for the police action against DiBlasio is virtually nil. I've read through hundreds of comments and just about every one of them is along the "F*%k the police" variety. This post is not to take a stand either way, just making an observation. If the NYPD thought they'd get some love from the public for their back-turning and shows of disrespect (how ironic, huh?) they seem to be sorely mistaken.
