    They could do that, and that sounds like the direction some want to go, but imho that's a lot harder than it sounds.

    A substantial part of what the police do daily can easily be done by someone without a uniform or a gun. The problem is, frequently you don't know until you get there or get a handle on the situation.

    For example, say they get a call about a car accident. It would seem like we'd almost be better off with a medical person there than an armed cop, so why not send a medically trained public safety officer instead of an armed cop? But what if when they get there they find out it's a road rage incident and one of them is armed?

    Domestic disputes. Someone suggests sending social workers. But those can be extremely violent, and can include weapons. Say they get a call someone is on their front lawn and is bleeding, but when the safety person gets there they discover it's a gunshot wound and the perpetrator is still in the area.

    There are just a lot of examples like that where the everyday things a cop does don't require a gun or physical confrontation at all, it seems, until you get there and see what occurs.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      DeBlasio is well regarded in NY for emboldening cops. The reaction to his statement yesterday about attacking the bike messenger was seen as pretty hypocritical by a lot of people. It isnt about the doctor it is about the fact that DeBlasio is chicken**** when it comes to the NYPD which is why they act the way they do.

        I am very surprised by that. He's ultra liberal in many ways and he sure understands racism.

                  Radio host Joe Staysniak, a former Colts lineman, is suspended for 'insensitive' racial comments

                  Staysniak said he has heard from listeners and coworkers who told him his comments deepened wounds in the community. He said he did more talking than listening and "that was wrong."
                  It appears to me that the notion of "I did more talking than listening" is sort of the new "I am sorry if YOU were offended by my words." How much does it really mean? And if the media wants to make a difference, this idiot doesn't need to be suspended for a week, he needs to be fired. Let him go out and find a "second job" where he doesn't get to speak to people over the broadcast airwaves. He can go bag groceries, he can do whatever. He doesn't need a forum where he has easy access to ears.


                  But seriously, just in the sports world alone we have heard the same comment from 2 or 3 people. It's crap. These guys are either racist, completely (and willfully) blind to what is going on around them, or dumber than a bag of rocks. I get that the Saints don't want to part ways with a Hall of Fame caliber player, but these talking heads? Can them and replace them with some other blathering fool, just a blathering fool who is not stuck in the racial past. Hell, I'm a blathering idiot who is not a bigot. I can talk sports as well as the next one.

                    Yep. It's the thing they teach you to say at "Get Out Of Jail" school. It's like celebs saying they have a substance abuse problem and politicians saying they want to spend more time with their families.

It does seem that Cuomo is getting the lion's share of the credit for NY's response to the various crisis affecting the region while DiBlasio is getting mostly scorn for whatever reason.
                          Hasn't Cuomo been torched for the nursing home situation?
