Bloomberg backtracks on strike talk
Posted by Richard on July 26, 2012
Within hours of the Aurora, CO, theater shootings, New York’s fascist mayor took time out from his efforts to control what New Yorkers may eat or drink to wave the bloody shirt and call for more gun control laws.
Earlier this week on CNN, he came within a few syllables of calling for a nationwide strike of police officers to promote gun control.
He’s now backtracked after it was pointed out that a police strike would be illegal in New York (and in most other places).
Such a strike will never happen anyway. Unlike the (politically appointed) police chiefs and union leaders Bloomberg pals around with, most rank-and-file law enforcement officers oppose civilian disarmament because they know that armed law-abiding citizens help their efforts to prevent violent crimes and to apprehend the perpetrators.
